Meet the Zimmers

A cover version of the Who's "My Generation" entered the British Top 40 chart at No. 26 last week, and that might be worth a news flash itself except that the artists performing the, er, oldie, are the Zimmers, perhaps the most elderly band on the planet.

The group, 40 members strong, was formed for a BBC documentary and features lead singer Alf Carreta, 90, as well as celebrity centenarian Buster Martin -- whose obscene gesture punctuates the end of the video. That's more than 3,000 years of talent in that video, kids.

Proceeds from downloads of the song will benefit charitable causes. The Zimmers are scheduled to appear on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Tuesday. Rock it.

Aw, come on, the Zimmers aren't THAT much older than The Who.
