Todd (VO): Swerve! Yeah, you heard me, I kinda enjoy it, I do. I have very rarely in my life heard anything dumber than this. Before I heard it, people were telling me it was the stupidest song that ever existed, if you could even call it a song, and I agree. Not only does this not deserve analysis, it might not even be analyzable. Todd (VO): It's just pure aggro screaming and noise. Todd: "Turn Down for What" is the exact opposite because it is not about anything. It ended up doing a lot less than that, but you can tell it was trying, what with the possessing actual words and everything. It wanted to do more than just make you get up and dance. It had more ambition than your average techno song. And also unfortunately, it's a little hard to talk about. Todd: Unfortunately, there's also a song that comes with the video. Should I be censoring this? I feel like I should. Todd (VO): You know what isn't awesome about this? Nothing. Video plays with "O Fortuna" playing over Todd: And for the lazy people out there who didn't watch, the highlights. wasn't that the greatest thing you've seen in your life?!
#TURN DOWN THE WORLD TONIGHT PIANO MOVIE#
While we're waiting for everyone else to come back, you seen that new Godzilla movie yet? I'm looking forward to it. if you haven't seen it, before we continue, I need you to pause this review and go watch that video. Todd: It will be impossible to talk about the song without the video overshadowing it, so. Yes, that one I said I wouldn't review in the last video I changed my mind. Todd (VO): "Turn Down for What"-the first hit single for French producer DJ Snake. Todd: So instead, this week, we'll be looking at a bona fide smash, in the Top 10 right now and rising, and spawning a massive catchphrase that will probably stick around for a while. Now that I've gotten a taste, I need to get my hands on a real hit.
It's just a minor blip on the pop culture radar, and no one's listening to that one. the faux-viral novelty club song " #selfie", but that only briefly dipped in the Top 20 before dropping precipitously.
Todd: Now I made my first baby steps into understanding this genre in my last review. Pino (John Turturro): They're not really black, I mean, they're black but they're not really black, they're more than black. I feel like the racist kid in Do the Right Thing talking about Michael Jordan. They.like, they transcend the boundaries that. I mean, I'm a huge fan of Daft Punk obviously, but they're.they're different. Todd (VO): So I have difficulty decoding this kind of music, I don't really listen to it. Remember, you can't spell "manure" without "newer." I prefer more basic, more normal sounding stuff over newer, more modern genres. Todd: And unfortunately, I'm kind of a boring traditionalist. I mean music where the producer is the main artist and the actual vocal performer is subsumed to the point of anonymity, and which is meant to be played in the club, uses pounding blip-bloop synth lines as the main hook, and often doesn't even follow the standard verse-chorus-verse lyrical structure of your average pop song. Todd (VO): Now, to clarify, this doesn't just mean every pop song meant to be danced to and made of studio electronics that's practically everything. Todd: Welcome to part 2 of Todd's coming to terms with the growing EDM onslaught. Todd plays "Turn Down for What" on the piano
