Code not working. Have been stuck for a while now.

I'm trying to follow the video Call and Apply to answer this code challenge and I'm still unable to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title> JavaScript Foundations: Objects</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Objects: Call and Apply</h2>
    <script>
      var genericGreet = function(name, mood) {
        name = name || "you";
        mood = mood || "good";
        return "Hello " + name + ", my name is " + this.name +
          " and I am in a " + mood + " mood!";
      }

      var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew"
      }

      var args1 = ["Michael", "awesome", ":)"];

      var greeting = genericGreet;

      greeting.apply(andrew, args1)
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

It might just be that you're missing the semicolon at the end of greeting.apply(andrew, args1).

Actually your code is correct. Maybe little inefficient, but still should work. You can check it, by simply pasting it into browser console. The issue must be in challenge checking sctipt. If you want to see that your answer is correct, use code from first answer.
