The Zimmers are a geriatric rock band from the UK. With lead singer Alf (90 years old) and member Buster (101 years old!) the Zimmers are the band with the oldest members in the world.

Yeah, it seems like the whole concept was the brainchild of a younger, sprier person; despite their promotional allusions to The Beatles, they're definitely more like The Monkees. And yeah, most of their songs--like their rendition of Prodigy's Firestarter above--are gimmicky covers, but with absolutely brill titles like "Pinball Wizened" who cares?

Oh wait, did I get through writing this post without mentioning that Firestarter is my favorite song of all time? FAVORITE.
