108 words about 'Turn Down For What.'

The first time I heard the song I said, "what song is this?" One of my friends informed me that the song was called, "Pterodactyl Walk." I did not question this. My friends and I, being 30-somethings who are super hip and "with it," determined that a Pterodactyl Walk was, "probably something to do with krumping?" Henceforth, upon hearing the song, we do the Pterodactyl Walk, whereby we would make our arms into little wings and mimic walking with all the authority of a prehistoric flying reptile. Then I found out that the song is actually called, "Turn Down For What?"

So I don’t really like that song anymore.

I can feel your disappointment, and I sympathize.

I now also wish it was called pterodactyl walk.

Yeah this more or less ruins the song for me too

Yep.

This is like finding out that every poem Emily Dickinson ever wrote can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas".

Oh, wait, should’ve prefaced that with a spoiler alert, I guess. My bad.

By the way, Emily, did you come up with the headline and then set out to write exactly 108 words?

If so, that’s very impressive.

Incidentally, I call the foregoing comment "25 words about '108 words about "Turn Down for What."'"

Actually...

I knew I was just going to write a paragraph, or just a few sentences. In my head I was thinking 107 words. When I finished writing and counted, it was so damn close that I just ran with it.

Cool.

I am suitably impressed. Much obliged.
