Sep 19, 2015 4:42 PM UTC Play “Uptown Funk” over practically any silver-screen dance routine, and you’ll be amazed at how well it works, proves a five-minute mega-montage of dance scenes set to the pop hit. In this video from [What’s the Mashup](http://www.whatsthemashup.com/), the song by Mark Ronson with Bruno Mars fits with a dizzying array of dance styles, from moonwalk to disco to twerking. The scenes, cut from 100 movies, are just as varied. Simba, Timon and Pumbaa strut to “Uptown Funk” in the _Lion King_ just as fluidly as _Magic_ _Mike_ strips to it and the cast of _Slumdog_ _Millionaire_ Bollywood dances to it. Don’t believe us? Just watch, below. ### See Music Festivals Like You've Never Seen Them Before  Untitled (New York, Monegros Desert), 2014 Felix R. Cid  Untitled (Sydney, Zurich, Catalonia), 2014 Felix R.
