Michelle Obama brought the funny last night as she posted a video of herself holding a turnip and saying “Turn up for what?!” while head-bobbing to the instrumentals of DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s “Turn Down For What?“.

The video was a response to comedian Alphacat’s question, “On average, how many calories do you burn every time you turn up?” while impersonating President Barack Obama. The First Lady’s hilarious response has already gained over 42,000 likes on Instagram and over 63,000 likes on Vine.
