President Barack Obama is up to his singing ways again. On Thursday ,the president was touring New Orleans to mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina when he encountered a woman named Weezy.

“Weezy? Really? Like, Weezy? Like in ‘Sanford & Son?'” the president said, clinching his chest and mimicking the old Red Fox routine.

However, the real-life Weezy corrected Mr. Obama and reminded him that she shares the name with the character from the 1970s sitcom The Jeffersons. Always a good sport, the president made up for the mixup by belting out “Movin’ On Up,” which is the theme song from the classic sitcom.

This Weezy seemed to approve. Watch this cute moment unfold.
