Twenty years after “The Cosby Show” went off the air, Bill and his TV family still have the moves to make them suitable stand-ins for Robin Thicke’s super catchy “Blurred Lines” video.

In a mash-up of the practically saintly and the definitely sexy, a new viral video replaces the opening theme song to the late-’80s sitcom with the 2013 hit from Thicke, Pharrell and T.I.

In the original, Cliff Huxtable, wife Clair, and kids Vanessa, Theo, Denise and Rudy all get down to a jazzy instrumental number — “Kiss Me,” composed by Cosby and Stu Gardner. Bill Cosby’s grimace and stiff moves are lovingly juxtaposed alongside his groovier family members.

In the remake — complete with a giant #COSBY stamp to match the #THICKE one it mimics — the family’s dance moves don’t miss a beat when set to Thicke’s R&B track. Every spin, arm swing and knee bend makes it seem like the actors are really dancing to “Blurred Lines.”
