My Generation by The Zimmers. - Neatorama

The average age of The Zimmers is 78. Lead singer Alf Carretta is 90 years old! Other band members are 99 and 100 years old. The single will be released on May 14th, with proceeds going to Age Concern, an advocacy organization in England. Push play or go to YouTube. Link to The Zimmersâ€™ MySpace page for more information. -Thanks, Jan!

There's a group local to me that is very similar... they've toured the world and been the subject of a BBC channel 4 documentary. The Young @ Heart Chorus. They do covers of pop tunes. Hearing them do "I Still Haven't Found What I am Looking For" or "I Wanna Be Sedated" gives new meaning to the songs. Check 'em out on Youtube.

This makes me think of "I'd Rather Be Dead" by Harry Nilsson and chior.
