The challenge for any song is to move people. A little diddy can make you cry, make you smile, inspire you to imitate Stevie Wonder's signature head sway, and of course, toe tapping is always encouraged. But when you meet a song that makes you shoulder shrug to its beat, your arms wave in the air like you just don't care right after that, as you find you're doing a jig in your seat while motoring down the street, you know this is the powerful beat of a shimmy shake song.
You just have to hand it to Bruno Mars - and anyone else affiliated with him - who makes that kind of magic happen. Mars' big band sound rocks you to your soul, inspires all kinds of never-before-attempted dance moves and you just have to experience his music to believe what it can do for you. Enjoy Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk featuring Bruno Mars, the No 1 song on the Billboard charts with more than 238,000,000 hits on youtube right now at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0.
