So I’m thinking of West Side story while standing in Hollywood, and thinking the dance happened near Lincoln Square, but it actually took place on The Lot.

Or some other dance from a movie or music video was shot near where I am now, but I’m thinking it took place somewhere else.

No, nothing like that.

I think that’s almost it. I think he didn’t actually say “Naked Desire”, but he implied it, by asking for a K.

The amusing part was he had:

A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE

He spun and asked for a “K”

That’s kind of embarrassing.
