"Uptown Funk" has been described as a funk-pop, [33] soul, [23] boogie, [34] disco-pop, [35] [36] Minneapolis sound track, with a light EDM influence. [37] Written in the key of D Dorian, it has a tempo of 115 beats per minute, with vocals ranging from B2 to D6. [38] It has been described as a "joyous, energetic and feel-good" song. [23] [39] The Guardian 's music critic noted influences of Cameo, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, New Edition, Prince, Sugarhill Gang and The Gap Band. [23] [40] Billboard 's music critic compared the song to George Kranz's "Trommeltanz (Din Daa Daa)" (1983), Earth, Wind & Fire's "Getaway" (1976), One Way's "Cutie Pie" (1982), Sugarhill Gang's "Apache" (1981), The Gap Band's "Oops Up Side Your Head" (1979) and "Early in the Morning" (1982), The Sequence's "Funk You Up" (1979), Morris Day & The Time's "Cool" (1981) and "Jungle Love" (1984), as well as, Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce" (1980). [40] Matt James of PopMatters felt Morris Day & The Time's "The Bird" (1984), Kool & the Gang's "Get Down on It" (1981) and Was (Not Was)' "Walk the Dinosaur" (1987) to have influenced "Uptown Funk". [41] Various critics noticed the pastiche on "Uptown Funk", from the "electric purple texture of the synths and the loose slap of the rhythms" to the "Prince-backed 80's...Morris Day & The Time". [42] [43] [44]

Jamieson Cox of Time , Chris Molanphy of Slate and Stuart Berman of Pitchfork found the song heavily influenced by 1980s funk. [42] [45] [46] Neil McCormick writing for The Telegraph called it an "evocation of the kind of Eighties funk that was already ripe with nostalgia". [44] Robbie Daw of Idolator found the single closer to the "70's groove", filling "the hearts of Stax- and James Brown music fans". [47] Likewise, Rap-Up dubbed it a "70's jam", a mash-up of "the best of Morris Day & The Time, James Brown, and The Jackson 5". [39] AXS's Lucas Villa compared the funk sound of the recording to George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" (1982). [48] Andy Kellman's AllMusic said the recording "aimed for early Time", but it sounded more like One Way's "Let's Talk"(1985). [49] Annie Galvin of Slant Magazine found Mars "channeling Little Richard's raspier inflections." [50] Critics noticed the influence of Cameo on the horns, Morris Day & The Time on the keyboards, and "Party Train" (1983) by The Gap Band on the drums. [40] The song is performed in a more arrogant and charismatic way than previous tracks by Mars. [46] [51] The lyrics have "well-placed references to Michelle Pfeiffer and Trinidad James", as the hook samples portions of James's "All Gold Everything" (2012). [40] [51] Mars shows not only "soul and swagger" in the sing-rapping verses, "I'm too hot / Call the police and the fireman", but he also jokes around, "Got Chucks on / With Saint Laurent / Gotta kiss myself / I'm so pretty". [42] [48] [52] The lyrics make fun of "traditional masculine bravado" using "silly metaphors", "I'm too hot, hot damn / Make a dragon wanna retire man". [50]

Reception

"Uptown Funk" received positive reviews from most music critics. Nick Murray of Rolling Stone gave the song a rating of four out of five stars, praising the "George Kranz scatting and Nile Rodgers guitar riff." He noted that Mars, Ronson and The Hooligans "channel the days when brags weren't humble and disco wasn't retro." [53] Spin 's Brennan Carley noticed the resemblance between Mars's sing-rapping style and Nelly's vocals. He praised the former's voice for keeping things "light and bubbly". Carley compared the bass line to something that Prince would use. He felt "Uptown Funk" would be all over the radio in a short time. [52] Danielle Janota writing for Consequence of Sound praised the single calling it the "crown jewel" of the album. [54] Lucas Villa of AXS dubbed Ronson's latest approach to Funk "his freakiest, freshest and most fun release yet". [48] Kirsten Maree of Renowned for Sound called the song "a joyous, bass-slapping little ditty that joins the likes of Olly Murs' Wrapped Up and Pharrell Williams' Gust Of Wind in a trend of soul clad 70's throwbacks. The vocal dum-dum bass line, meets the scratchy melody of the electric guitar right off the bat, sending us hurling back in time and ready to dance." [55] PopMatters 's Matt James called the track a "deftly daft, delirious and incessant, booty-shaking blast of brass 'n' bravado", finding it a standout on the album. [41] John Parker from Drowned in Sound called the recording "inescapable, a bona fide modern day mega hit". [56] Neil McCormick from The Telegraph enjoyed the track because he "liked all the records it was built out of, by James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire and The Gap Band". [44] Stereogum 's Tom Breihan wrote, "It's the best American #1 we've had in more than a year, easily, and maybe much more". However, he noticed it copied the work of Morris Day & The Time and "takes these old sounds, but it presents them with energy and inventiveness and charm and balls". [43] Robbie Daw of Idolator called the single "a straight-up ass-kicker" and not a "half-hearted stab" at recreating the "70's groove". He also praised the song's lyrics like "Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold" and "gotta kiss myself, so pretty". [47]

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News said the recording "isn't even a song", adding "[i]t's a vamp, a rush of 'hit me' rhythms of the style patented by James Brown". Farber added that the vocals have "zip", but they "lack soul, not to mention an ounce of individuality". He called "Uptown Funk" the only "lazy track" on the album. [57]

The song made the cut on several lists of best songs. In June 2015, Spin compiled a list of The 63 Best Songs of 2015 So Far with "Uptown Funk" at number 51. Andrew Unterberger wrote, the song enters "the canon of "September", "Celebration", and "I Gotta Feeling", jams to be played at every wedding from now until the end of time". [58] Stereogum called it the best pop song of 2015: "Channeling Morris Day by way of Trinidad James, Mars and Mark Ronson crafted the year's most universal hit, one that will live on for decades at all kinds of jubilant public gatherings. It flaunts its sexiness and owns its freakiness. It's so hot that it probably sent several dozen dragons into early retirement." [59] Vulture ranked it at number 6 on its "The 10 Best Songs of 2015" list: ""Uptown Funk" will be played at every wedding reception you attend for the rest of your life, and its opening notes will fill you with neither embarrassment nor dread. By the most reliable rubric, then, "Uptown Funk" is a great pop song." [60] MTV placed it on its "Best Songs Of 2015" list: "As the year's most existential pop question goes: "Who was I before 'Uptown Funk'?" Really, can any of us actually remember a time this ubiquitous, certifiably catchy song wasn't part of our lives? Even if Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars didn't roll up to the VMAs in hair curlers, they still took home Best Male Video—and everyone with a pulse knows why. "Uptown Funk" is not just a song. "Uptown Funk" is lightning in a bottle. That white gold." [61] On the list of the 101 best songs of 2015 compiled by Spin, Dan Weiss ranked the song at number 87 saying it emulates "Morris Day-esque funk ditty" and each one of us contributed to its success. [62] Rolling Stone ranked "Uptown Funk" at number 25 on its 100 Greatest Songs of the Century – So Far in 2018. The magazine's writers described it as a "perfect Eighties funk-pop nostalgia bomb", praising the singer's "sparkling showmanship", and dubbing it "one of a kind". [33] The Village Voice 's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll selected it as the 23rd best song of 2014, tied with Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass". The same critics selected "Uptown Funk" as the eighth best track of 2015. [63] NPR included it on their list of favorite songs Of 2015. Stephen Thompson wrote, "If you're going to hear a song on the radio 15,000 times in a single summer, it might as well be this one". [64] On 26 January 2015, the song was voted number six on radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2014. [65] Billboard included it on "The 50 Best Song Interpolations of the 21st Century" as it uses "All Gold Everything" (2012) by Trinidad James. Christine Werthman wrote that Mars "turned it into a jubilant call to shout from the rooftops and kick off a dance-funk break". [66]

Controversies and lawsuits

"Uptown Funk" was the subject of several lawsuits over copyright infringement. In 2015, similarities with "Oops Up Side Your Head" (1979) by the Gap Band led them, along with keyboardist Rudolph Taylor, and producer Lonnie Simmons to be added as co-writers of "Uptown Funk" receiving 17% of the publishing royalties. [15] [88] In the same year, Serbian artist Viktorija argued that "Uptown Funk" infringed on her track "Ulice mračne nisu za devojke". She decided not to sue Mars and Ronson. [89] In 2016, electro-funk band Collage sued Ronson and Mars for copying their single, "Young Girls" (1983), while the Sequence, a rap group, claimed it infringed their single "Funk You Up" (1979) and sued a year later. [90] [91] In 2017, Lastrada Entertainment filed a lawsuit citing similarities with "More Bounce to the Ounce" (1980) by Zapp. [92] In 2018, the Collage and Zapp lawsuits were dropped, with no word if there was a financial settlement. [93] [94] The track drew comparisons with the theme tune of The Really Wild Show , [95] a BBC children's nature program that first aired in 1986. When Ronson was asked if he heard similarities between "Uptown Funk" and the theme tune, he said, "Oh, then the horns, I understand what they're saying, yeah, we owe a little bit ... all equally influenced by Quincy Jones". [96] In 2021, Ronnie and Robert Wilson of the Gap Band filed another lawsuit due to the similarities between "Uptown Funk" and "Oops Up Side Your Head" as Ronnie Wilson and Robert Wilson's heirs "have yet to receive any publishing rights income". [97]

Impact

The success of "Uptown Funk" made it a worldwide phenomenon with a major impact on pop culture. [23] [14] At one point, the song broke its own streaming record three times in the United Kingdom, with 2.34, 2.49 and 2.56 million streams. [56] [167] [168] It also broke the record for most streamed track in the United States and worldwide in one week, with 4.8 and 15 million streams, respectively. [169] [170] Tom Breihan writing for Stereogum felt the recording had "transcend[ed] hit status" and become "omnipresent". It is "some sort of cultural event", that will be heard at weddings in the next couple of years. [43] Danielle Janota of Consequence of Sound believed the single had a cultural impact. It is "more than infectious: It's instinctual", as everyone "stampedes furiously to the closest dance floor the second it comes on". [54] Matt James of PopMatters said the recording "incite[s] mass euphoric dancing wherever it is unleashed". It also demonstrates its "global domination", seeming to be "the only song on planet earth right now". [41]

In an interview with Time , Mark Ronson said the recording was being played in Morocco, Puerto Rico and Nigeria, countries his music had never reached before. He also confessed the track led to people starting to recognise him. [171] Newsweek 's Jed Gottlieb explained the reason "Uptown Funk" is an immortal track is because "the song is an increasingly rare phenomenon", since dancing allows us to connect "divergent demographics". "[T]he song creates an ephemeral flash where disparate groups get along because they've been spiked with the same euphoria". He believed "for the next quarter-century, it will persist as a choice wedding spin." [172] NME's Barry Nicolson dubbed the single "an insta-phenomenon". [22] Jeremy Allen of BBC said that "the biggest hits of the past few years", such as Ronson's "Uptown Funk" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" (2013) drew inspiration from the 80s funk/soul works by Prince, Michael Jackson, Nile Rodgers and others, leading the "80s to dominates modern culture". [173] Nevertheless, when Angus Harrison of Vice asked musicologist Dr. John Burgoyne if it would be remembered in twenty years he explained that despite "the melody being sung, the hook is not" and he is unsure if it will be remembered as "the hook is that trumpet drop, whereas the words "Uptown Funk" just sort of disappear." [174]

In November 2019, Consequence of Sound compiled a list of the "Top 100 Songs of the 2010s" with "Uptown Funk" at number 77. Ali Szubiak wrote, the song became "so embedded in our cultural core that it proved inescapable". Szubiak added, "not since "Uptown Funk" has the world felt so united." [175] A month later, Rolling Stone also compiled a list of the "Top 100 Songs of the 2010s" with "Uptown Funk" at number 66. Jon Dolan affirmed the song "kick-starting a 2010s funk revival that Mars himself and Lizzo would blow wide open". [176] The staff from NME dubbed "Uptown Funk" as one of The 100 Best Songs of the 2010s, ranking at number 56, Rhian Daly classified it as "a gigantic, joy-giving earworm". [177] On the same month, Jay Cridlin writing for Tampa Bay Times compiled a list of the 50 "The best pop songs of the 2010s", placing "Uptown Funk" at the top of it. Cridlin felt the track "it is timeless, and somehow, it still sounds fresh." [178] Nerisha Penrose from Elle dubbed the track as one of the 52 Best Songs That Defined the 2010s, ranking at number 25, saying it "had the whole world smiling and dancing for weeks." [179] Stereogum compiled a list of The 200 Best Songs Of The 2010s, ranking "Uptown Funk" at number 19, Margaret Farrell affirmed the record "was a monstrously successful, inescapable single, the soundtrack for 2014 and well into 2015." [180] According to Billboard, the single was one of the "Songs That Defined the Decade". Taylor Weatherby described it as "Four and a half minutes of pure fun, with hooks galore and memorable lines". [181] In 2021, Rolling Stone placed "Uptown Funk" at number 417 on their "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". [182] In 2022, Billboard's staff ranked the "500 Best Pop Songs", placing the single at number 76. Danielle Pascual wrote "fusing a rhythmic vocal base line ("doh doh doh"), a blaring horn section, a Trinidad James lift and Bruno Mars' soulful tone to create a brilliant and unpredictable modern disco-pop song". [183]

In September 2024, Billboard's Kyle Denis affirmed that "Uptown Funk" "is the kind of genuine cultural phenomenon and musical juggernaut that feels damn near impossible in this age of hyper-fragmented social media silos. From Mars' annoyingly charming vocal performance to an irresistible brass breakdown, 'Uptown Funk' was simply inescapable. Mars' presence on the track was also so outsized that many forget it's not even his song." [184]

Music video

Development and synopsis

The music video was filmed at the 20th Century Fox Studios' "New York Street" backlot in Los Angeles. [185] Mars and Cameron Duddy directed the video released on 17 November 2014. [186] In it, Ronson and Mars are wearing clothing from the late 1970s and 1980s. [186] [187] Mars wears a "salmon-colored blazer" and both put on sun glasses. [188] Throughout most of the video, Ronson, Mars and The Hooligans are singing, walking and dancing in the middle of the streets. Ronson is seen mostly lingering in the background, while Mars takes the spotlight. [186] [187] [188] At one point, during the video, Ronson and Mars get their hair put in perm curlers at a hair salon and their shoes shined. [186] [187] [188] As Mars sings "Fill my cup, put some liquor in it", one of his bandmates does so. The singer also yells at his chauffeur to get the limousine as he, Ronson and the band "jive" next to it. [186] [189] Towards the end of the video, Ronson, Mars, The Hooligans and Jeff Bhasker perform the song in a closed set to several people. [190]

Reception

Joe Lynch of Billboard praised the video, finding it to be as "ebullient" as the song, calling Ronson and Mars "impossibly cool". [188] Rap-Up praised the dance moves performed by Mars and The Hooligans. [187] Tom Breihan of Stereogum said, "I had no idea [Mars] had "ersatz Morris Day" in his arsenal."

"Uptown Funk" was first performed live by Ronson and Mars on Saturday Night Live on 22 November 2014. [199] Mars wore shades and a salmon-colored blazer. [200] Their performance was well received by critics. Colin Joyce of Spin magazine praised Ronson's "electric guitar performance" describing it as something "that Prince ... could have been proud of". Joyce also commended the effortless singing and rapping skills of Mars. [201] The Village Voice 's Hillary Hugues praised the vocals by Mars, dance moves and the "taut line between cheeky confidence and charm" that he was able to walk. [202] Iyana Robertson of Vibe complimented the "groove" of the song, as well as, the reenactment of "the retro swag" music video. [203] The track was also performed live during the North American version of The Voice final on 16 December 2014. During the show, Mars and his band, The Hooligans, performed a rehearsed choreography, while the singer wore gold rollers in his hair. [204] Critics found the use of rollers by Mars in his hair hilarious. [205] [206]

Ronson and Mars performed "Uptown Funk" live on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on 13 January 2015. The performance began with Ronson demonstrating some of his DJ skills by scratching and doing hypeman work. Then Mars, dressed in a red blazer, snap back and black shades, and some of his band-mates, led the "audience through some choreography", before making their way to the stage, where Ellen also showed "her little two-step". [207] [208] Chris DeVille from Stereogum characterised the performance as a "blast", while NME's Nadia Khomami dubbed it "energetic". In the same vein, Shenequa Golding from Vibe, called the show "dope". [207] [208] [209] In 2016, this performance earned them a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award at the 43rd Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. [210]

After Coldplay were announced as the lead performers for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, Chris Martin asked Mars to join them, but he declined. Martin explained he wanted Mars to perform "Uptown Funk" with Beyoncé. Mars still did not think it was a good idea, but Beyoncé was receptive to the idea. [1] On 7 February 2016, the trio took the stage during the halftime show. Ronson appeared handling DJ duties, while Mars and his dancers performed "Uptown Funk", wearing an all-black Versace outfit with gold chains. [211] [212] During the show, Beyoncé, in a Michael Jackson-inspired outfit appeared with a set of backing dancers dressed as Black Panthers. She performed her single "Formation" (2016) in choreography before being challenged by Mars to a dance-off, while singing the track. [212] [213] [214] At that point Martin joined Beyoncé and Mars singing the song. [212] [213] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times explained that Beyoncé and Mars brought "soul and funk" to the show, while The Guardian's Alex Needham and Caroline Framke of Vox praised Beyonce, but criticised Mars and Coldplay's performance. [212] [213] [214] During The Late Late Show with James Corden on 13 December 2016, Mars included "Uptown Funk" on the popular segment Carpool Karaoke. [215] Mars performed the song as the closing act at the Apollo Theater alongside the majority of the 24K Magic (2016) album for his CBS prime time special titled Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo , which aired on November 29, 2017. [216] On the 24K Magic World Tour (2017–18), Mars performed "Uptown Funk" as the last track of the setlist, sung as an encore. [217]

Use in other media and covers

The song was also featured in commercials for L'Oreal's Garnier line, Skippy peanut butter and the Cadillac XT4. [218] [219] It is also featured in the film Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022), on the episode "Child Star" of the sixth season of Glee, and the video game Sackboy: A Big Adventure . [220] [221] [222]

The song has been parodied several times. Scot Pankey, a teacher at A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School in Dallas, gave his students a video project using the track. His students came up with an idea and once Pankey heard it, he wanted to join them. After seeing the video, Mars admitted he cried. [223] Mikey Bolts, who is known for his impressions and parodies, recreated the "Uptown Funk" singing in the voices of Family Guy characters. The voices of Peter Griffin and Stewie Griffin are the most prominent on the track. [224] In September 2015, YouTube channel What's The Mashup? used 100 dance scenes from various films synchronizing them to the rhythm of "Uptown Funk". [225] Later the single was mashed up with dance moves of different actors, such as Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Gene Kelly in films from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The speed which the scenes are shown was unchanged. [226] The YouTube channel known as Baracksdubs created the illusion of President Barack Obama singing "Uptown Funk", using snippets of his speeches. [227]

Ronson recorded a new version of the song with six unknown musicians for YouTube at the Abbey Road Studios. Initially, the group thought they were covering the track for a documentary about Ronson. [228] On 12 February 2015, Ronson premiered the first official remix of "Uptown Funk", a radio-exclusive, during his interview on Hot 97. It includes a new intro verse by rapper Action Bronson; the final version includes a verse by rapper Bodega Bamz. [229] The song has been used by Ligue 1 club Paris Saint Germain to celebrate home goals. [230]
