Michelle Obama makes a ‘Turn Down For What’ parody Vine



So what will Michelle Obama turn out for? Turns out it’s a turnip.

Video of the first lady dancing with a turnip has gone viral after the White House placed it on her Twitter feed late Tuesday.

Participating earlier that day in a social media Q&A, Mrs Obama was asked via video how many calories she burns on average “every time you turn up?”

In her response, the first lady holds up the starchy, root vegetable and says “Turn up for what?” before beginning to bob her head and groove in her seat.

The video's soundtrack was Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil John. The song was also used in Turn Out for What, a video encouraging young people to vote on November 4.
