For Daegaer, with love & Lemsips.

She has an Evil Cold and wanted ficlets to cheer her up. I foolishly offered to rewrite a song of her choice. In other words,

With apologies to Abba, to the people who own Weiss Kreuz, and to anyone who gets Fernando stuck in their head as a result of this. If it makes no sense at all, (1) go to YouTube and watch WK, and (b) go to daegaer's journal and read her La Femme Sakura series.

Sakura, as sung by Schuldig. I dont like to think why he inspires filk so easily.

Can you hear the guns Sakura?
I remember when you hung around the Koneko with Ran
In the flower shop Sakura
You were stalking Fujimiya though you drove him round the bend
I could hear your thoughts of love
Convinced in time that he’d choose you for his girlfriend.

Then we came for you Sakura
It was perfect how we kidnapped you from underneath his nose
You were innocent Sakura
You were young and full of fear and ready to be taught to kill
And I’m not ashamed to say
That turning you into this gave me quite a thrill.

Chorus:
You’ll put a bullet in his head
He’ll wind up dead, Sakura
You’ll be a killer just like me
It’s fun, you’ll see, Sakura
And I always knew that you’d come through
Cos I taught you
Wait for the first time you get paid,
You’ve made the grade, Sakura.

Now you’re on your own Sakura
Killing businessmen who can’t believe the pistol in your hand
Will you make them scream Sakura?
Will you still recall the first job you did and what Crawford said?
You were useful camouflage
No-one expects a schoolgirl to collect their head.

Chorus:
You’ll put a bullet in his head
He’ll wind up dead, Sakura
You’ll be a killer just like me
It’s fun, you’ll see, Sakura
And I always knew that you’d come through
Cos I taught you
Wait for the first time you get paid,
You’ve made the grade, Sakura.

You’ll put a bullet in his head
He’ll wind up dead, Sakura
You’ll be a killer just like me
It’s fun, you’ll see, Sakura
And I always knew that you’d come through
Cos I taught you
Wait for the first time you get paid,
You’ve made the grade, Sakura.
Yes, wait for the first time you get paid,
You’ve made the grade, Sakura.

(I'd like to point out that the original really *does* scan that badly. I'm embarrassed enough at whan my brain's done without having you all think I have no idea of metre and rhythm *as well*.)

I loved that to little pieces :)

Aw, thank you! You were most helpful last night (as you may be able to tell from the fact that the Bad Verse has been changed a lot...) :)

Now go & read the fic it came from :p

Yaaaaaaaay! Thank you :-)

Hee, this is great! And now I have the tune going round in my head, of course. I can just see Schuldig singing this (off-key, natch)!

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Glad you don't hate like it!

Off-key, and in bad fangirl German? Eeeep!

*applauds* ABBA songs are great for filking - I did a few Star Wars ones, back in the day.

Star Wars Abba? *boggle*

Thank you :) Now go & investigate WK properly so I can share the insanity with you ;p

Oh, but it is good crack. XD Though it is disturbing that I can hear Schuldig singing this, yes?

Thank you!

It would be more disturbing if Nagi started doing the harmonies, I think ;)
