Popular YouTube called Barackdubs decided to mix things up and gave Bruno Mars' hit single 'Uptown Funk,' a different version, with Barack Obama as a singer. Well, sort of!
The video, which has already climbed the charts, features snippets of the US President giving various speeches cut and mixed together to make it sound like he's singing the song, E! Online reported.

Mars shared the video on Facebook and wrote that "I cried at the end. I'm still a thug though. Thank you to everyone involved in making this video.
