What better way to start your Thursday off right than by watching an old man dance awkwardly with a big goofy smile on his face? Trick question: there is no better way to start off your Thursday!

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders appeared on The Ellen Show on Wednesday, and if you thought for one second that the dude who always appears seconds away from shouting at you to get off his lawn wouldn't want to get down…you are dead wrong. Check it:

Ellen's interview with the Democratic candidate airs Thursday afternoon. Come for the dance moves, stay for his opinion on One Direction.
