Granny DJ Spins the Internet into a Frenzy [Randomly Viral]

This little news item has yet to go totally viral, but it’s definitely on the cusp: Behold DJ Ruth Flowers, a 69-year-old world-spinner, groove-shaker, beat-maker from Paris, France.

This CBS News story hit YouTube yesterday and has so far garnered nearly 10,000 views, but its burgeoning popularity on Internet video sites is sure to make it a viral sensation by the end of the weekend.

Why? Well, because this story has all the makings of a viral hit:

Elderly Person + Incongruous Activity + Proper British Accent = Instant Pass-along

Add to that the fact that Flowers is actually a halfway decent DJ and you’ve got one enjoyable little vid. Flowers says of her act — which was born during her grandson’s birthday party — “It’s a little bit glammy — a little bit perhaps over the top — but it fits the bill, I think.”

We would tend to agree, DJ Flowers, we would tend to agree.
