Get Ur Freak On-Missy Elliott

As my twenties were nearing their end, I was (mostly) saying goodbye to my wild-eyed years; I moved back to Minnesota, transitioned from elementary school counseling to high school counseling and began hanging out more in coffeehouses rather than bars. 

But as was the case with Cinderella and her magical night, Missy Elliott (with Timbaland's production) escorted me out of the decade (my Toyota Corolla serving as the carriage/pumpkin) with this banger that bounced off the walls, demanding the volume to be cranked up, joining the ranks of songs that will have contributed to the inevitable hearing aids in my future. The twenties would soon be a memory, but Missy sent it out with a ding-ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-ding.
