2. A few days ago I made a rash remark about filking The Living Daylights as a celebration of Jo Grant — Assassin for hire!

   Turns out it's not an easy song to filk, because A-Ha seemed to have a somewhat cavalier attitude to rhyme, scansion, and singing the words that all the transcripts say they should be singing. But if anyone is morbidly curious,

   A Midi file with the tune can be found at midis.jamesbond-online.com.

   Cute girl you'd like to cuddle,
   Gets papers in a muddle,
   Wears a bandeau on her head —
   One wrong move, she'll strike you dead.
   
   She's been killing people since the age of ten
   She can cut your head off with a ballpoint pen
   When you launch your planet-conquering attack,
   It's Jo Grant who'll stick a dagger in your back.
   (She's the) blonde assassin.
   
   Her sights are on you now
   Your death is in her mind:
   She knows everything you've tried.
   You can run but you can't hide.
   
   No-one ever sees her gun until she shoots
   She's got knives inside her four-inch platform boots
   Every ring can kill you in a different way
   Cross her and you'll never see another day.
   (She's the) blonde assassin.

Thanks — I've now got the tune from the MIDI stuck in my head, but these sacrifices are sadly necessary :-)
