Now? by the one-hit band free. Across the street a young man looks out of his apartment window and notices
her. He moves closer to the window, taking interest. She cranks up the volume and continues dancing, looking
out the window at the fellow, who smiles hopefully and waves meekly. He kisses the bottle and excitedly says,
?Yesss?. Then, he gazes around his apartment and realizes that it is a mes. ?No!? he exclaims in a worried
tone of voice.
Frantically, he does his best to quickly clean up the place, stuffing papers under the sofa and putting old
food back in the refrigerator, he slips on a black shirt, slicks back his hair, sniffs his armpit, and lets out an
excited, ?Yeahhh!? in eager anticipation of entertaining the young lady. He goes back to the window and sees
the woman still dancing away. He points to his watch, as if to say ?Com on. It is getting late?. As the just
continues dancing, he looks confused. Then a look of sudden insight appears on his face, ?Five?, he says to
himself. He turns on his radio and it too is playing ?All Right Now?. The man goes to his window and starts
dancing as he watches his lady friend continue stepping. ?Five, yeath?, he says as he makes the ?okay? sign
with his thumb and forefinger. He waves again. Everyone in the apartment building is dancing by their window
to ?All Right Now?. A super appears on the screen: ?Are you on the right wavelength??
