Since I turn 84 in August, this has just become my new anthe! In my head, I'm only 35, and wish I'd known then what I know now. I wear only comfortable things, no matter where I am, and say whatever I want. A people-pleaser my whole life, now I lean back and say f**k it! 😹

I love this so much, Kath! You've just captured what this whole video is about!
I’m turning 70 and love this channel. We were the Heavy Metal and Hippy Babes. OMG? When did I give up home grown weed for Dry White Wine? Kill me now.😱😵💫⚰️🪦
I don't consider myself a little old lady. I retired and now work construction, building boardwalks, doing repairs, working outdoors in all kinds of weather and riding my motorcycle. From time to time I crochet and sketch. I'm almost 70 but I'm too busy to get "old". Work keeps you moving. I will admit it takes me a bit to get moving in the morning these days, but I just keep going, just a wee bit slower....😄
Getting old is just part of life. It's not related to a number, but it's how you perceive the journey. Young at heart ❤️. I always look forward to your RUclips videos. My mom's 93 years old!
I turn 60 this year and all those things are so known to me. Those vinyl, sometimes even shellac records used in jukeboxes. Landline phones with dials instead of keys. Nowadays the crisp health, you sometimes feel the joints crack already when you get up in the morning. And all the advantages these days, especially in terms of cost... No more need to chase after every short-lived fashion trend. You need less alcohol to get drunk and the hangover lasts longer. You need less time to clean, your eyes don't catch every speck of dust - where did I leave my glasses anyway? 👴

Thanks, Opa Andre. I considered doing the video without my glasses on to look more like Joan Jett, but it's a recording of when I actually made the vocal and percussion recording, and I needed my glasses to see the words! 😆
Oh Shirley you are bloody brilliant. I'm going to be 69 this year and have embraced socks and sandals with my elastic-waist pants. Still have a landline - no cell - don't even have a microwave, vacuum or iron. Do and say as I please, rock on!!!❤🍷 Cheers!

You rock - socks, sandals, elastic pants and all! 🤘
The whole problem stems from weather conditions ☀️Let's forget the pain in our bones. Songs sing about us and we sing too. Result: The energy of music erases diseases and old age. We are happy with you, Shirley Şerban. Greetings 🖐🏼🎼🎶🌐🪁🌈
When we use a funny metaphor like "getting old" in our language, it means drying off with a towel. So 'getting old' means getting wet in some cases. When my mother had a pain somewhere, she would say, "It's the weather." Looking with humor gives us joy and freedom in life. I admire how you combine songs with humor.🙃🌐❤️💖😀
I love it. I love it. I love it. You guys are the best. You’re the best. You’re the best. Take care honey. Have a great weekend and God bless you. Keep on with her. I love you. You just made me smile and laugh. I needed it.❤😊
I didn’t know you knew me so well! But this song describes me perfectly ! I couldn’t stop laughing ! You have captured us older Kiwi woman perfectly !, Thank you
❤😂 absolutely love it I'll be 51 this year and I have arthritis but I haven't got the false teeth or curlers pension or hairnets but I still feel like a pensioner but I don't mind 😅😅 Shirley make some more songs please they're hilarious 😂 and brilliant
I'd love to stay at your BnB, but I don't think that I would be sane, when I left!!!! This had me in stitches, as asual. Great work, Shirley. Love it.😊😊😊😊
Absolutely brilliant Shirley! I used to love this song n played it over n over while doing my homework to my dads disgust!😂😅 love from across the pond in Scotland 🏴
I love parodies (have given professional talks about them), but have never met a genius like you. It's not a gift, it's a talent, honed over years. Not just the fantastic voice, but the wonderful visuals. Your expressions here are priceless - I really can't put a price on them. You're an all-star!
This is my Top top top favorite version of that song . This song will never get old Thanks to you Shirley !! I’ll turn 68 soon and thinking to have a party for my 70 with that version of the song !! Maybe I’ll choose it also for my funeral 🧐🤣Love you so much Shirley ! You are a given in our daily life !! Take care 🥰🥰🥰
*Kia ora & Morena Shirley, 'standing ovation & clapping loudly' BRAVO Shirley, that is another fabulous parody song as you sing a Joan Jett song🙂 Well, one may be gently going thru life.... but I am still 15 yrs old in my head.... as I hoon about riding my motorbike in real life (as I flash about the goldie card). 🙂nz*
It was back in the early 80's. The name of the movie is Looker. Albert Finney is the star actor. It's an awesome movie. The song I'd love to see you do a parody is in the beginning of the movie. SAAD sings it. It's called Looker. RUclips it. They even have the lyrics.
I agree with every word of this! I like being in my own skin much better now then in my yester-years. Finally being at peace is the reward. 😊💖😊🕊️ Edit: Oh, and thanks for providing so much laughter!
I can't wait! Anything you do is phenomenal. My parody of the same song. (I love) Tuna Rolls. (Tune: (I love) Rock 'n Roll - Joan Jett ====================================== (music) I saw a lot of rolls, standing there on a shelf. The waiter said that I had to help myself. Some were short, some were long, But I knew something was wrong. All of the tuna rolls were gone. None left for me, Yeah me. All of the tuna rolls were gone. None left for me. Yeah, me. Chorus ===== Hey, you. I love tuna rolls. So, make another one on a fresh roll, maybe. I love tuna rolls. So, don't you take your time, make one for me. NOW!!! The waiter was a creep, who wouldn't play the game. Offered something cheap, that was not the same. He told me take it home, Eat it in an ice cream cone. So, I said, " Leave me alone! Let me be. Yeah, me. And, I won't be buying here, Even if It's free. Yeah, free Chorus ====== Because, I love.. (music) (Repeat from: He told me to take it home..) (repeat first 2 lines of chorus to fade.)
So, so, ssooo happy that Ms Algorithm just now introduced us!! You're hilarious, skilled & cleverly relatable - I shall be binging your channel instead of housekeeping 🧡💜💚💙💛
Shirley, you is Baaad! And you're right: getting old (73) is okay . . . except for the various inconvenient little infirmities that sneak in . . . and technology (I too prefer landlines, Lol). Love this video. Joan Jett will be pleased and amused!

Thanks so much, Woman of Substance. You is baaad too!
I don't like getting old boy you know how to make me enjoy my life knowing that if I'm feeling down I can just put one of your videos and the day is full laughter and no more Mr sad guy.
This parody song is SCARY & HILARIOUS at the same time. I have seen some young people lookeddown on old people and said "You're too old". Years later, they grew OLD too and faced the same health problems like other seniors! Thank Shirley for making my Life Fun Again with this song.
2 месяца назад+1
Thanks! Age gets us if we live long enough - might as well enjoy it!
Marvelous singing voice ! Ingenious lyrics. Thanks again Shirley. Looking forward to hearing what You come out with next. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
You blow me away with your creativity! Fantastic job as always. I once bought one of your sweatshirt merch (something about a hot potato, in red) and never received it because I never receive anything by post in Russia (my name is very American) but I keep watching for the postal worker who stole it. LOL Regardless, money well spent!
5 месяцев назад+1
Oh, I'm so sorry that happened to you, Dagmar. Are you sure it was delivered? I can try to take it up with TeeSpring if it wasn't.
I absolutely know it was delivered. I've never received anything I've ever ordered in Russia so no problem on your/TeeSpring's end. It was money definitely well-spent for your endless entertainment, and I'd do it again. 😺
Oh Shirley- those wigs! You’re a riot! My favourite lines: “it won’t be long till you’re just like me”, and the yowl You go girl! You had me laughing out loud with enjoyment! Thanks for making my day!
❤😂💯 that's why the t-shirt "growing old disgracefully" has my name on it? 🤣😁 I love early dinner & not internet games either. "Mod cons" now t really my thing
Since I turn 84 in August, this has just become my new anthe! In my head, I'm only 35, and wish I'd known then what I know now. I wear only comfortable things, no matter where I am, and say whatever I want. A people-pleaser my whole life, now I lean back and say f**k it! 😹
I love this so much, Kath! You've just captured what this whole video is about!
Well done, ! Love your attitude ❤❤
Inspirational 😂😂😂😊😊
Way to go, Kath❤ May you live to 104 if you choose to😊
I’m turning 70 and love this channel. We were the Heavy Metal and Hippy Babes. OMG? When did I give up home grown weed for Dry White Wine? Kill me now.😱😵💫⚰️🪦
Well said, sister!! ♥️🇦🇺
Best song and Joan Jett impression EVER!
Thanks so much!
I'm 67 and I have found joy in this old lady life. Thanks for reminding me.
Rock on, you wonderful thing!
Thank-you for singing what I have been feeling what I am at 72!
I don't consider myself a little old lady. I retired and now work construction, building boardwalks, doing repairs, working outdoors in all kinds of weather and riding my motorcycle. From time to time I crochet and sketch. I'm almost 70 but I'm too busy to get "old". Work keeps you moving. I will admit it takes me a bit to get moving in the morning these days, but I just keep going, just a wee bit slower....😄
I'm 70. Thank you for making me smile and getting old easier! Very cute!! LOVE IT!
I'm so glad, thank you!
Ooh a new song lovely I preffer getting older but not all the aches and pains amd I feel 21 in my head but my body feels more like 80 lol .
That brain to body disconnect can be a 'fun' one!
Patricia, I can relate to that.😅😂😅 ouch.
I will be 65 in October and I love this! Thank you!
So glad you liked it - thank you!
So will I! 21st.
October 16 for me, I will be 64.
I'm 72 and I feel the same way. Thanks for sharing this, Shirley, it really made my day.
I'm so glad, Uniquelyyours1 - thank you!
72 here too. Ageing is not for the faint hearted, but the alternative is worse.(Love the pill bottle shaker...let me know if you need more!).
🎉
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it! Why do I feel like I am in my thirties in my head, but most days feel like I am 110 in my joints??
Awareness never ages❤
The shell may be creaky but a beautiful pearl is within!
@janadeubner....👏 I need to spread this bit of wisdom wide and far.....thank you!
Hell yeah girl!! Turned 60 a couple months ago and this is my new anthem!
Woohoo!!
*waves* in also 60, and loving this song
Those faces Shirley. 😂😂😂❤🇬🇧
😆
Sure beats the alternative ❤😂🎉😅❤
Dead right!
This is gonna be epic I can feel it already 🤣😂🤣
Aw, thank you!

72 here and I feel this! YEAH ME!
Yeah, you! 🤘
Thanks for this song, Shirley. Songs don't get better than this! Well done.
Thanks so much, James!
Getting old is just part of life. It's not related to a number, but it's how you perceive the journey. Young at heart ❤️. I always look forward to your RUclips videos. My mom's 93 years old!
Thanks so much!
Oh yeah, fantastic! Smiling and laughing. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!
Glad you enjoyed it!
An 84 year-old ancient Briton and his 58 year-old daughter completely identify with this! Keep up the good work Shirley!
Thank you! Will do!
Another top 10 hit!
I recently turned 78 & must say the Joys of Aging are much better than pushing up Daisy's!
Thanks - and I completely agree!

Thank you!
Totally wicked and totally awesome 😊😊😊

You rock - socks, sandals, elastic pants and all! 🤘
Very, very cool, Shirley! Great singing, great lyrics, I love this song! 👵
Thanks so much!
Will be 30 this year, but will always love the old classic rock artists, including Joan herself
Awesome!
I've just fallen and I can't get up 😮 Loved the song, pretty much the way it is!

You will always be my number one. I'm still here. Your biggest fan.👊
Can you do a parody of Kim Carne's voyeur or looker?
I don't know that song, sorry.
It was back in the early 80's. The name of the movie is Looker. Albert Finney is the star actor. It's an awesome movie. The song I'd love to see you do a parody is in the beginning of the movie. SAAD sings it. It's called Looker. RUclips it. They even have the lyrics.
I'm 63 and thank you Shirley ❤😀
You rock!
Thanks Shirley, you've got me down to a T cheers baby!!!🥰🥰😘😘💞👍👍👍👍🙏

Thanks so much!
That was soo good, and very accurate! I just turned 60!
Happy birthday to you! Rock on!
I can't wait! Anything you do is phenomenal.
My parody of the same song.
(I love) Tuna Rolls. (Tune: (I love) Rock 'n Roll - Joan Jett
======================================
(music)
I saw a lot of rolls, standing there on a shelf.
The waiter said that I had to help myself.
Some were short, some were long,
But I knew something was wrong.
All of the tuna rolls were gone.
None left for me,
Yeah me.
All of the tuna rolls were gone.
None left for me.
Yeah, me.
Chorus
=====
Hey, you.
I love tuna rolls.
So, make another one on a fresh roll, maybe.
I love tuna rolls.
So, don't you take your time, make one for me.
NOW!!!
The waiter was a creep, who wouldn't play the game.
Offered something cheap, that was not the same.
He told me take it home,
Eat it in an ice cream cone.
So, I said, " Leave me alone!
Let me be.
Yeah, me.
And, I won't be buying here,
Even if
It's free.
Yeah, free
Chorus
======
Because,
I love..
(music)
(Repeat from: He told me to take it home..)
(repeat first 2 lines of chorus to fade.)
Well done!!! 😆
Great song - old enough to just remember when i was young. Can still rock hard - for about 5 minutes😊
Rock hard..... then a good cup of tea.
Settle for some comfy pillows & my legs up !
Love love love this! Great job, Shirley!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful!! A theme song for those of us in a certain target population!! 😆
Thank you, @Marowyn!

I'm so glad, Colin. Laughing is just more fun!
I don’t like getting old. I wouldn’t mind if it weren’t for all the aches and pains!😱
I don't enjoy all the aspects, but many of them, especially feeling the freedom to just be myself, I love.
That’s really nice. Love is everything.❤️
Brilliant. 😃👍
Thank you, Susan!
Perfect once again!
Thanks so much, Margo!
OMG My new favorite song!
Yay! 😁
Spot on Shirley! At 69 I couldn't agree more!
Thank you, @DrSweat!
This parody song is SCARY & HILARIOUS at the same time. I have seen some young people lookeddown on old people and said "You're too old". Years later, they grew OLD too and faced the same health problems like other seniors! Thank Shirley for making my Life Fun Again with this song.
Thanks! Age gets us if we live long enough - might as well enjoy it!
Yes! There's a saying "Enjoy while it lasts!"
Love the song and the original, well done.

Ah, we are all getting old, day by day. 😁
65 and loving this! Yeah! 😂❤
Yeah!! 🤘
This song, this lyrics, this style, this mimic....you nail it, Shirley.
Thanks so much!
I'm 72 years old, but, except for a few aches and pains, which aspirin mostly takes care of, I don't feel much different than I did when I was 30.
Good!!
You blow me away with your creativity! Fantastic job as always. I once bought one of your sweatshirt merch (something about a hot potato, in red) and never received it because I never receive anything by post in Russia (my name is very American) but I keep watching for the postal worker who stole it.
