I think if they hadn't been a holocaust survivor and his family it would have been disrespectful. I thought it was very cute.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Other than "white guys can't dance" I don't have a problem with it. But the author is afraid there will be complaints to Youtube when it gets more exposure and he wants to be ready.

I like it. It's quite uplifting while being sad at the same time.

Btw... what words are written on his grandchildren's shirts?

I don't see how it would violate the terms of service but YT has been known to interpret it's own TOS very differently on various occasions. I can see this video getting a flag but the maker can protest it and I think it has a good chance of being reinstated if it does get taken down.

lol.
Old men dancing are funny.

Other than that, meh? I've got no reason to be offended, I wasn't there. Nobody else has the right to say what is appropriate.

I should amend:

The guy was there. If he wants to stand outside there and dance he is quite entitled to
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I watched it open-mouthed till the end.
They should put the bit at the end at the beginning. That would help prevent a lot of misinterpretations of who they are and what they're doing and why.

And the blonde is gorge! srsly
