In the clip uploaded by @thembi6621, people are at a graveyard. They are singing a hymn. However, one elderly man was not feeling the energy. He got up and tried leading them with his bubbly energy. He sang his lungs out as he danced. The people who attended the funeral tried to keep up with him - hilarious.

He even went as far as roasting the singers, saying they must not sing like they are ill. There is no denying that the man was vocally gifted. He probably sang in a choir during his younger days.
