Q is for....
....
I racked my brains hard for this one but that didn't yield any results.
My mind started wandering and my ears suddenly became aware of a song playing in the background.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night...
Sounds familiar?
Yes of course, it's Istanbul (Not Constantinope (mind you)) by They Might Be Giants. Soundtrack for Tiny Toon Adventures. It's a comical, trippy number with a steady quick pace. I could probably dance along with the music. With someone to accompany me.
It makes me want to take quick steps.
That's it!
Quickstep!
I researched a bit about this song and concluded that this song is of the genre Quickstep. Technically speaking, it is an energetic form of dance, that involves swift movements, brimming with zest. Quickstep, as a dance music genre, is dominated by unconventional rhythms or as Wiki puts it, syncopations, that add the oomph to the dance. It has a strong essence of the genteel Foxtrot, tempo increased. Quickstep, is thus an elegantly zingy genre!
The steps come to you quickly when you hear Quickstep. Not only that, but it also enlightened me quickly!

How clever of you to make the connection between the song and your word for the A to Z Challenge...;0)
