Never before has there been a better use of a retirement plan than to flawlessly recreate, shot-for-shot, Taylor Swift's infamous "Shake It Off" music video.

The Julia Wallace Retirement Village in New Zealand enlisted the help of its 50-odd residents and their grandchildren for this very fun video. Check out the leopard print and walking-frame-assisted twerking, with a dash of lawn bowls.

According to the video, the average performing age of the smooth seniors is around 82, which apparently rounds up to a collective 4,000 years.

The YouTube channel has even uploaded a behind the scenes photo slideshow here, if your performing pensioner thirst hasn't quite been quenched.
