Sometimes you hear a song and you think, well, that was okay, but really that was nothing special. And then you see the music video for that song and you realize, oh, this changes everything. "Turn Down For What" is one such song, at least in my opinion. The video is slightly horrific, artfully done, over the top, and incredibly ridiculous. After watching the video the first time before bed, I was left laughing, but also still wondering what the title of the song signifies. I'm gonna let you watch the video and then i'm going to talk a little more about that.

Okay, did you watch that? Good. It was insane, right? And you really want to crash through a ceiling in a preposterous way, don't you? Back to talking about what the phrase "Turn down for what" means. Given the video I would say its about not stopping your partying due to complaints or outside forces, rather bringing the party to them and drawing them into your party tornado until everyone is part of your relentless drive to party. Much the same philosophy as Andrew W.K. Perhaps I'm taking a simplistic view of it, but that's alright.
Anyway, I hope that video made you laugh or entertained you for a moment. And I am going to try to feature some other videos by The Daniels in the future.
