  You all would not have done that

Track two on [*Plague Beats, Vol. 1*](/albums/plague-beats-vol-1/) (**September 21, 2020**), one minute, Luke solo. The title is the [**decreasingly verbose**](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/decreasingly-verbose) meme: the same idea stated in fewer words each line until it collapses into the fake-archaic syllable *dothn't*, standing where a whole sentence used to be.

No verse, no bridge. The joke is the arrangement, and it's the same pure-meme-title energy that carries the rest of Vol. 1 after [*Oddly Satisfying*](/songs/oddly-satisfying/).
