Strutter, the cool owl, sat in his nest until sunset, and as soon as the last light dipped behind the mountains, he swooped down to the ledge of the warehouse down below and waited for the music to start. He didn't have to wait long before a thumping came from deep within the building, which reverberated throughout the structure. Strutter felt the beat, turned his hat backwards, put on his sunglasses, and began to strut along the ledge.
All the woodland critters came out to watch Strutter strut, and after he had gone back and forth a couple times, they joined in the dancing too. Late into the night the parking lot was full of shimmying racoons and pronking deer. Squirrels tried to dance, but they didn't really understand the concept, so they mostly just ran around in circles, then ended up chasing each other like usual. The rabbits all took turns bobbing up and down to the rhythm which was all fine by the rest of the animals.
Suddenly, one of the deer stopped moving and turned its head to stare straight into the dark alley. One by one the rest of the deer perked up to stare down the alley. The rest of the animals continued dancing to the thumping, and Strutter kept on strutting. Suddenly, two cops jumped out from the alley shining bright flashlights at a now empty parking lot. They heard a "hoo!" from the roof and spotted an owl standing there keeping watch.
Grumbling, the cops departed the scene and moved onto their next call of the night. When they were sure the cops had departed, the animals resumed their dancing, and in one swift motion Strutter replaced his hat and sunglasses and continued his strutting. The animals kept dancing until the twilight of early dawn, when they returned to their various burrows and nests. All except Strutter, who kept on strutting until the sun shone its very first rays of the next day, and only then flew back to his home to rest and wait for the next Night of Pulsing Bass.
