Watch Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars bring ‘Uptown Funk’ to The Voice
Worldwide smash hit sees Mars singing the song while in curlers, because obviously.
The sudden success of ‘Uptown Funk’, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ smash hit of a new single, could easily have sent the pair cuckoo. In the case of Mars, the only thing that’s gone to his head is a bunch of perm-tastic curlers, which he dons for the entirety of a performance on the U.S. edition of The Voice.
Ronson keeps his cool on bass, but he brings with him a huge, horn-tastic entourage for the first televised performance of the track.
‘Uptown Funk’ is currently #1 in the UK singles chart (it’s #5 in North America too). Watch the Soul Train-inspired performance below.
