"What the hell am I supposed to sing for Disco Week? I wasn't even alive then!" Allison exclaimed.
"Don't look at me," Kris said. "I don't even know what I'm gonna sing. None of these songs have a point. I mean, Knock on Wood? What is that? If no one's letting you in, clearly there's a reason."
"I think Danny should sing YMCA..." Scott decided, snickering.
"And besides, you're, like, the only one of us from the era," Allison quipped, tossing a pillow at Danny.
"Oh. Whatever you guys. Just make fun of me all you want. But know this: I got my song already. And it's amazing," Danny grinned happily, hugging the pillow.
"Adam," Allison jabbed him with an elbow. He had his I-Pod on and was searching through songs there. "Which one are you doing?"
"Hmm? I'm giving If I Can't Have You a facelift. Did you guys find one yet?"
"No," Allison moaned, dragging out the syllable until it was clear she was in desperate need of help.
"Here, let me see the list," Adam motioned.
"Hey!" Anoop and Lil exclaimed together.
"Now," Adam said, getting comfortable in the chair, swinging his legs over the side. "Are there any songs on here that you're familiar with."
"No," Allison huffed.
"Heck, no!" Kris added. "Let's face it. This is a horrible theme."
"Come on, guys, listen," Matt urged. He played a couple notes of Hot Stuff and raised an eyebrow at Allison. "How 'bout that?"
"What the heck was that?" Allison asked, coming over to investigate, while Kris grabbed the list from Adam, who was gesturing to a single line of text and then flipping through the stack of papers to find the corresponding one.
"Here, try this," Adam encouraged.
Kris raised his eyebrows, impressed. "I like it," he decided. "Thanks, man."
"Yes!" Allison bellowed. "This is so the perfect song for me. Matt, you're a genius!"
"Thank you," he nodded knowingly, a smile on his lips.
Allison sighed, relived to have found the one song that fit her. And as she looked around at the faces around her. Though this process could be stressful, it wasn't when they helped each other.
"Okay, so I think I'm gonna do this on the keyboard," Kris explained after kicking Matt off the piano bench to try it out. "With just a couple people doing percussion down in front. What do you think?"
"Brilliant," Adam announced, grinning.
"Okay, stop it. I don't think he needs anymore help. Someone needs to come help me out now," Lil objected good-naturedly.
"I'll help," Allison volunteered. "There's a song in here for you. We just gotta find it."
