Two youngsters, thanks to their vintage moves, put the funk in the notion of "old souls" with their dance-off.

Scenes of the pair's retro moves to a dubbed old-school beat have been making the rounds.

An X user, @MissSassbox, posted the clip with a caption suggesting the dancing duo were beyond their years.

A description in the video drove the message home.

"When your grandparents are your babysitters."

The 56-second clip shows the boys, possibly brothers whose grandparents — as the description suggests — are six years apart, dancing to Kurupt and Sally Green's Go Anywhere.

The song, a 2024 offering mixed by French producer Mofak, pays homage to the timeless 1998 classic We Can Freak It by Kurupt.

Matching the song's tempo, the brothers are seen twisting, turning, and gyrating passionately, just as the older generation did.

Accentuating the nostalgic affair on the lounge's mahogany floor are their looks in corduroy pants and golf T-shirts, which have a vintage touch.

Netizens taken with classic touch

The jivey clip attracted a staggering six million views 60 hours after its posting and garnered 156,000 likes, 21000 reposts, 15000 bookmarks and 2500 replies.

Briefly News looks at the colourful reactions.
