"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, also claiming the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart. 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.
