You've Got To See Barack Obama Singing Uptown Funk

Clever video edit sees US president performing Mark Ronson's hit...

It's been at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart all year so far and has notched up No 1s in more than 10 countries around the world.

And while Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk owes much of its success to Bruno Mars' superb vocal performance, the US star has just been replaced by an even-more-famous collaborator in a new viral video.

That's right, it's now Uptown Funk (ft. Barack Obama), thanks to the video editing skills of one very patient fan.

The US President's "cover version" of the catchy retro-funk workout was released on the popular Barackdubs channel on YouTube this week - and has already collected more than 800,000 views.

And if you think that sounds like it's going to be awkward and a bit rubbish, just check it out - it's actually very amazing.

And if you liked that then put a date in your diary for 9 February - when the channel promises to bring us Obama singing Taylor Swift's Shake It Off!

Aaaaaow!
This hit, that ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold
This one, for them hood girls
Them good girls, straight masterpieces
Stylin', wildin'
Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself, I'm so pretty
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Called a police and a fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Say my name, you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Am I bad 'bout that money?
Break it down

Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)
Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)
Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)

'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you (wooh)
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
Saturday night, and we in the spot
Don't believe me, just watch, come on!

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh!
Stop
Wait a minute
Fill my cup, put some liquor in it
Take a sip, sign a check
Julio, get the stretch
Ride to Harlem, Hollywood, Jackson, Mississippi
If we show up, we gon' show out
Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy

I'm too hot (hot damn)
Called a police and a fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I'm too hot (hot damn, hot damn)
Bitch, say my name, you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Am I bad 'bout that money?
Break it down

Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)
Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)
Girls hit your hallelujah (wooh)

'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you (wooh)
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
Saturday night, and we in the spot
Don't believe me, just watch, come on!

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh!
Before we leave
I'mma tell y'all a lil' something

Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
I said Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up

Come on, dance, jump on it
If you sexy than flaunt it
If you freaky then own it
Don't brag about it, come show me
Come on, dance, jump on it
If you sexy than flaunt it
Well, it's Saturday night, and we in the spot
Don't believe me, just watch, come on!

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh!
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up (say what?)
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up (say what?)
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up (say what?)
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up
Uptown Funk you up (say what?)
Uptown Funk you up
