"Knock Three Times" is a popular song recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn. It was released as a single in November 1970, paired with their other hit song "Candida". The single hit number one in January 1971 and eventually sold nine million copies. In the song, the narrator tells his beautiful downstairs neighbor, whom he's never met, but nonetheless is in love with, that she should knock on the ceiling three times, if she wants to meet him, twice on the radiator pipe, if she is not interested. It was covered by Billy "Crash" Craddock in 1971 and became a number one country hit. In Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs, Barry comments that if Tony keeps that up (knocking on the ceiling), the neighbors are going to come over and start knocking on him.

Article 1 - A player shall not remain for three seconds in that part of his/her free-throw lane between the end line and the farther edge of the free-throw line while the ball is in control of his/her team in his/her frontcourt.
Article 3 - Allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the restricted area for less than three seconds, dribbles in or moves immediately to the goal.
Therefore, coaches, fans and players can't tell when a referee is actually counting three seconds because it is not a proper mechanic to count with the hand.
After the recording, Dave and Hank dubbed in the voices of two background singers, Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson, long time friends who had sung together anonymously on hundreds of sessions since 1964 (it was Telma, for instance, who told Isaac Hayes to "shut your mouth" on "Shaft").
"'KnockThreeTimes' was the follow-up to 'Candida' and came from the same album," said Tony.
"KnockThreeTimes" was released in November1970 and within a month had sold its first million.
