title: Let Music Sound while She Doth Make Her Choice.
abstract: To attract females during courtship, Drosophila melanogaster males sing songs with motifs of varying temporal structure. In this issue of Neuron, Clemens et al. (2015) identify a song feature indicating male fitness and propose a neural mechanism for how it may be extracted from the auditory signal by female flies.
