Thin man decides dancing is nothing for him and he goes to a different section of the gym. (Close-up of DVNO)While wearing a white t-shirt with DVNO printed in golden letters on is he is making a lot (full body shot/tilts: vertically scans the scene) of effort to push himself up, (medium shot/birds-eye-view shot) doing weights, (full body shot) doing sit-ups etc. (Medium shot/high angle) Eventually he starts to sweat and wipes the sweat of his forehead with a towel. This all happens while different shots of the muscular guys are shown doing the same thing as he is but then more intense and without ‘any’ effort.

2nd chorus

Song: ‘No need to ask my name’.

(long shot develops into medium shot/eye level) When thin man tries to chat up one of the girls they are just looking at him as if they are disgusted and walk off.

Before 2nd refrain:

(several shots and angles of him getting ready; brushing teeth, putting on pajama's etc.)He goes to bed and the next morning he wakes up and can’t get out of his bed because all his muscles hurt.

Song: ‘Ladies are all waxed’

(Three shot/eye level)Girls are chatting and flirting with a very handsome man who is sitting behind the till. (full body shot of thin man, close-up of girls' faces) When thin man shows up they leave with an arrogant face.

3rd + 4th chorus:

(Several types of shots and angles) Thin man goes to the gym again and starts exercising using the rowing machines.

(Camera spinning around character) Thin man goes absolutely crazy, dances his lungs out, drinks a lot. (Close-up of face when 'thin' man wakes up, medium shot of him lying in bed with pretty girls) Eventually he wakes up the next morning in a bed with two pretty girls and smiles at the camera.
