Brief Explanation

A man repeatedly looks into his fridge. Each time he checks the fridge we can see the usual contents inside. He’s not exactly sure what he’s searching for and he leaves a little unsatisfied each time. He opens his fridge door once more. As he swings the door open, a room behind the fridge is revealed with Lionel Ritchie inside it playing a grand piano. Lionel looks up at the man as he begins singing his song, Hello is it me you’re looking for? Lionel pours the man a beer from the Tap King which is sitting on top of his grand piano. The beer flows into the glass, Lionel passionately sings his song during the entire demonstration. The man, still in his kitchen remains transfixed at the events unfolding in front of him inside his fridge. As Lionel finishes pouring the beer and hands it over from inside the fridge. The man takes the beer looks deeply into Lionel’s eyes and whispers the last sentence of the chorus in unison, ʻI love youʼ, to Lionel Richie. Tap King. Refreshing draught.
