From jazz to disco, this group doesn't miss a beat in a very literal way. Using the song 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong, they remix the classic hit in an amazing variety of ways. Filmed in what appears to be a recording studio, the video still manages to be engaging by incorporating a number of people and sets, which reflect whatever genre is being depicted at a given time; the 'dubstep' scene is particularly on-point in this way.
