Awfully behind the times here, we know – but thanks to a tip by the hecklerspray reader who reminds us most of Jack Bauer, here's a bunch of old people singing My Generation by The Who in a way far, far better than you'd probably expect.
There's not a lot more about The Zimmers' version of My Generation that we can add, really – but needless to say it's delivered with more zip and verve than Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey have mustered in decades and is several light years better than any of the times Oasis have tried to perform it live. Guitar-smashing, drum-destroying, finger-flicking, My Generation by The Zimmers is a rare treat – and if anything today makes you grin more than the sight of a toothless pensioner growling "I hope I die before I get old" be sure to tell us, because it'd have to be something very special.

Thank you so much for reminding us all that one day we too will be old! What grace, humour
and life these ladies and gents present us with and may we all be reminded that they don’t need
us to take over their lives just support them allowing them dignity. Well done!
From a grateful 57 year old.
