In 1979, sound editor Nicholas Eliopoulos encountered Dolly Parton, who shared her new melody for '9 to 5' on her day off. Nervously, she played a syncopated rhythm on her nails, then sang the tune, asking Eliopoulos if it was any good. His immediate recognition of the song's potential led to it becoming a massive hit, winning two Grammys and earning an Academy Award nomination. The melody not only defined her career in film but also complemented a significant workplace comedy, visually portrayed through efficient snippets of women preparing for work in a vibrant San Francisco setting.

She asked if he wanted to hear a new melody she was noodling around with.
