<p dir="auto">Pre-Series 6. An actress with big ideas, who brought two ready-made characters to her first audition but failed, is determined to try again. Perhaps coming up with a third character will clinch it for her. Based on Grace Kelly by Mika. <a href="http://lyrics.doheth.co.uk/songs/mika/life-in-cartoon-motion/grace-kelly.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Lyrics</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaEPCsQ4608" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Video</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">"I wanna work for you."</p>
<p dir="auto">"The last time you auditioned, Miss Kennedy, you reduced me to tears. I promise it won't happen again."</p>

<p dir="auto">I'll show them duty</p>
<p dir="auto">Putting my life on the brink</p>
<p dir="auto">I'll be compelling</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe dispelling</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd even beat up an elf</p>
<p dir="auto">Do I need leverage</p>
<p dir="auto">Should I show cleavage just to be put on your shelf?</p>
<p dir="auto">I tried to be a Greystaggy</p>

<p dir="auto">A shiiiin-GUARD!</p>

<p dir="auto">Back a few decades for one that I hope two forum members in particular will appreciate. Plus the one inadvertently name-checked in the first verse.

<p dir="auto">A journey West</p>
<p dir="auto">In a deep and dark Descender</p>
<p dir="auto">I on my way</p>
<p dir="auto">Wolfenden, I coming to your streets and square</p>
<p dir="auto">For a freshly filmed sixth series of Knightmare</p>
<p dir="auto">I am Ah Wok</p>
<p dir="auto">I am from China</p>
<p dir="auto">I have stall</p>
<p dir="auto">Emporium o' many</p>
<p dir="auto">I even give it wheels</p>
<p dir="auto">I no like Scaramonger, accent is no good</p>
<p dir="auto">Mine better and it mean I can be rewd</p>
<p dir="auto">I am Ah Wok</p>
<p dir="auto">I am on Knightmare</p>
<p dir="auto">Don't talk of Fear</p>
<p dir="auto">Well I've heard the name before</p>
<p dir="auto">It keeps me out of Level 3</p>
<p dir="auto">I won't disturb the witches, or fight the Samurai</p>
<p dir="auto">[Just then, <a href="http://interactive.knightmare.org.uk/component/legacy/page/display/lexicon?s=view&amp;EID=Ah%20Mok" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Ah Mok</a> appears, and shoos Ah Wok away. He takes over the song.]</p>
<p dir="auto">Right you done a year and now you say bye-bye</p>
<p dir="auto">You were Ah Wok</p>
<p dir="auto">You were annoying</p>
<p dir="auto">I have her boobs</p>
<p dir="auto">And my special sauce to protect me</p>
<p dir="auto">I am gifted in my humour</p>
<p dir="auto">I made dodgy deals, now evilness appeals</p>
<p dir="auto">I touch Morgaine and Morgaine touches me</p>
<p dir="auto">I am Ah Mok</p>
<p dir="auto">I am a legend</p>
<p dir="auto">And Ah Mok feels Morgaine</p>
<p dir="auto">And a Knightmare never dies</p>

<p dir="auto">Finally, another from the 80s. It's a lazy effort on my part, but watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYqIJqlPNc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">video</a> at 1:22 and tell me it wasn't meant to be.  Based on Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham.</p>
<p dir="auto">Level 3, lotta bricks</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a long way down to Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Team has brains and team has brawn</p>
<p dir="auto">But they can't survive 'cause they left the horn</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Can't use spell, key or tricks</p>
<p dir="auto">Only one way past this Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
<p dir="auto">Jericho 6</p>
