Answer 3

when i first hear it i think of this thing i read somewhere which says.... One Tequila, Two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR...lol but then i also found out that it was "Especially common in techno, an unaccented 4/4 time pattern in which each beat is marked with a heavy kick drum. This is desperately boring at normal volume but at club levels takes over your entire body. Usually sourced from a Roland 909. OR Four to the floor is a common beat pattern usually found in House music. Its a drum beat accompanied by a heavy base line, and maybe a looped sample of jazz, funk, or disco usually..The basic backbone of most dance music.

but i still prefer One tequila,two tequila,three tequila....FLOOR!!! Haha
