L'Homme Invisible lurks in the bushes, late at night, outside the flats of unsuspecting batchelorettes:
*knock-knock-knock-knock*
----eerie voices whistle and wail and a stalking, slow-jazz rhythm strikes up----
femme: "Who is there?"
----silence----
*takes the latch off the door*
femme: "Who is there?"
*opens the door and looks outside*
femme: "Who is there?"
homme: "L'homme invisible"
----the sinister, brassy orchestration swells----
femme: "What do you want?"
homme: "You... YOU"
femme: *gasps*
----eerie wailing and whistling continues----
femme: "No... NO!"
----invisible man ravishes woman soundtracked by a saucy, rasping trumpet----
femme: *gasps* *moans* *groans*
----invisible man leaves - a deathly silence hanging in the air----
So ladies, if it's getting late and you hear a faint knock-knock-knocking at your door, and you're not expecting visitors, turn the Dansette up, keep the lights on and just pretend you didn't hear...
