If you’ve ever been to a wedding, or a 50th birthday, you’ll know that there comes a certain point in the evening when elderly members of the family congregate on the dancefloor to bop along to the Grease megamix, or perhaps — on a wild night — ‘Play That Funky Music’.

It’s a special kind of tradition, which is why we must congratulate the Channel 7 sports commentary team for attempting to bottle this atmosphere in a recent promotional clip.

Over the weekend, sports reporter Rachael Finch captured the team — led by the legendary Bruce McAvaney — rehearsing a dance to Daft Punk’s classic 2001 hit ‘One More Time’.

To be fair to McAvaney and the team, they gave it a red hot go.

The clip has subsequently gone viral, and the sports commentator had this to say in response: “Oh boy you do some silly things in your life, don’t you,” he told 3AW Mornings.

Right on, Bruce.
