Much as we love Ben Kweller — tampon-gauzed bloody nose and all — we’re thinking Marilyn “Bubbie” Kweller may be the family star. Oh Ben may have written the song, played every instrument, and filmed the vid, but this 82-year-old has the dance and lip-sync skills to put Ashlee to shame. Even if it is a little weird to hear Ben’s “let me see those legs” lyric set to a shot of his grandma in a leotard. (Thanks, M)

This song is great. Great upbeat song to cheer me up on my crappy day. Thanks Stereogum!
i will watch this video frequently. thank you.
by the time the video was over i found myself in the fetal position. its not easy to get into the fetal position in a folding chair.
awwww, that made my heart warm. thanks guys (;
Can’t watch this if you’re outside of the US. Can’t find a youtube link either. Anyone wanna help out?
ben kweller is the biggest sweetheart ever. i love this.
Yeah, that Overdrive thing sucks. Especially the way it makes you watch all the MTV ads before it tells you it won’t play you the video. :S
Ben’s posted it to YouTube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvuRN-mfM4g
I love this song.
Beyond mind numbingly awfull. Bless her heart though!
not one of my favourites off last year’s album, and really…little old ladies dancing is always a laugh…but for nearly 5 minutes?
i kind of think this is just weird,,,
This woman, Marylin, used to live across the street from me in MD. She was totally nuts! She was always talking about her grandson and his music, so I’m glad she finally got involved. Good for her, it’s great to see the Florida development she left MD for is keeping her looking healthy and fit.
Thought i let you know that Ben Kweller ?Penny on a train track? is being featured on mtvU?s the leak:
