The Carter Family is back with another side-splitting parody, and this time they take on the reality of life after turning 40. Their latest video cleverly explores the unexpected changes that come with this milestone age, like feeling tired earlier and realizing you’ve lost that “cool” factor — but there’s a silver lining: you simply stop caring.
Their catchy parody of Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” is packed with relatable humor. Here’s a snippet:
“Headed to a club, thought we’d get a little wild
But the babysitter asks, ‘Why the late night, child?’
Just need you to feed our kids some mac and cheese
We learned to party early, oh, please!”
It’s a laugh-out-loud take on the realities of getting older, and it hits home for many of us.
“When we arrived, there were barely a few folks around
The sun was still shining, and Nancy Grace was on the sound
We danced to the old hits until the clock struck nine
Then the DJ played the latest jams, and I knew it was time.”
Ah yes, when did going out become a challenge?
“I can’t do these things with my body now
Yes, it’s too late now ’cause I’m 40
I wish I could still get down, but oh wow
It’s just too late ’cause I’m 40 now…”
It’s a real struggle when your favorite shows start at 10 p.m. What has happened to us?
“We do the Macarena, but now folks just stare
At 40, we’ve accepted that we truly don’t care
Knowing we’re not cool can be so freeing
We just enjoy ourselves until we start feeling sleepy.”
“Turning 40 in June, but I’ve been prepping for ages,” shared Lisa Carter with TODAY Parents. “I’ve been writing ‘40’ everywhere for months! I’m totally fine with it. I love my sleep and elastic waistbands. I’m more comfortable in my skin now than I was in my 20s. I dance like it’s the ‘90s and I don’t mind if people laugh — there’s joy in that!”
Indeed, there are upsides to aging gracefully.
