However, everyone (Gordon, Susan, and Luis) is bothered by the noise and assume the Count is responsible with his usual post-counting dramatics. The Count remarks that if he's going to be blamed for the thunder, he might as well take advantage of it and starts counting thunderclaps. Everyone continues to chide him, when suddenly a downpour begins. They all seek shelter while the Count continues counting raindrops. |

He begins to sing "The Transylvania Polka," which starts off as they assume, but the chorus becomes a jaunty tune they all can't help but dance to.
