Turn Down for WAT

[PsychicTaco115]

Escapists, what makes you "turn down", as expressed by the always eloquent Lil Jon?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The song is absolute garbage but I love the music video for its pure stupidness. Plus I generally just like that music video theme of a guy infecting everyone around him with a livelier spirit.

Turn down what? I turn down that song on the radio, I turn down blue cheese in salads, but I don't think that's what you're asking...

 

[Caiphus]

I generally turn people down if they offer me something that I don't want.
Like to listen to that song again.

I'm only joking top of my iTunes most played playlist sing it in the shower every day it's the best.

Turn down WAT?

Oh, be fair... WAT wasn't Laibach's BEST album, but it had some good songs on it! Lil Jon doesn't know what he's talking about (not that that comes as a surprise).

Spoiler: WAT!

BTW, do NOT let the uniforms mislead you into thinking this band is glorifying Nazis. Lots of people make that mistake, but the uniforms are a part of their NSK movement (Neue Slowenische Kunst, meaning "New Slovenian Art"). This band has even written anit-racism songs and also songs that harshly denounce antisemitism and those who believe in it.

Just to make that clear... I would NEVER listen to a band that espoused hatred of any sort.

Police visiting the house because of noise complaints. I turn down for that.

 

[Noetherian]

Turn down for reasonable, polite requests. Is it really such a dying art?

I believe it comes from a very old saying. Back when James watt was pioneering the steam engine he would travel around a lot showing off his new invention. When travelling he would stay in a lot of hotels. As a wealthy inventor he could stay at fancy hotels that offer a "turn down" service (which is basically where they untuck your bed for you). The maid would knock on his door and say "Turn down for watt?"

Thats ladies and gentlemen is the history behind the saying

What the fuck did i just watch?

Man i'm getting old...

I mean it was funny ( the video) but this is what the kids are listening to these days?

Someone grab my cane, i got some whippersnappers to yell at.

I'm the exact opposite. I hate the video but adore the indulgent dumbness of the song.

OT: I turn down when someone dies. That's usually a sobering occurence.

Barring that, I'll turn down for a good dessert.

 

[FPLOON]

Oh... I don't turn down for anything...

All I do is...

Spoiler: TURN UP!

It's the only way to live... #carpediem

I hate trap music. It's more of a plague on the rave community than "EDM" in my mind, and that's a pretty bold statement given how much I detest what mainstream dance music has managed to destory.

I'm sure more would turnip sooner or later... *facepalms*

Man fuck this stupid hashtag. I have people spamming my facebook feed with pictures of their fucking mediocre ham sandwich with that hashtag next to it (yes, seriously). I say we stop seizing the day and start seizing the people who use #carpediem and put them in concentration camps or something.

Oh shit, dude... I didn't know... I-I was trying to make a funny and... Oh geez... I'm so sorry... I hate hashtags with a passion, but I still like making fun of them... I had no idea that hashtag actually existed...

Oh geez... I need to turn down for "hashtaging" even from a comedic standpoint... That shit be cray-cray for all the wrong reasons these days, anyway...

 

[Rebel_Raven]

Ok, I love the song (Definitely a song to crank the bass to), I love the vid, but I'm old. I have no idea what "Turn down" is. Urban Dictionary has conflicting definitions.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

please, you should only ever listen to the TRUE version of that song.


Turn down for whut indeed.

HA!

OT: I turn down the heat when spring comes rolling by.

What isn't wonderful about the best selling novel Turn Down For What? Nothing, nothing at all. Well actually I'm not a fan of the recent trend to forget about changing the music in exchange for having goons in the background shouting "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" (looking at you Fancy and Dark Horse, too). It's a cheap way to make something catchy. Plus the video isn't really that mad to me seeing as I've seen pretty much that bar the face melting but with better lighting in Beyoncé's "Partition" video (not sure if you can link 'explicit' videos, YouTube it).

Not exactly sure what turn down means. Maybe turn up is party hard, and turn down would be to calm down. In which case, WHAT would you turn down for. Maybe if I had a headache, I'd turn down.
