Lyrics
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
And little man, little Lola wants you
Make up your mind to have, no regrets
Recline yourself, resign yourself you're through

I always get, what I aim for
And your heart and soul, is what I came for.
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
Take off your coat, Don't you know you can't win
You're no exception to the rule,
I'm irresistable you fool, Give in
(give in, you'll never win)

Whatever Lola wants
Lola gets

Eeeeeeeeee omg secret festividder you made me a FISH CALLED WANDA VID! ♥♥♥ This is adorable and fab and I love it! The song is PERFECT - sexy and knowing and cheeky, just like Wanda. And the use of clips *really* highlights just how thoroughly Wanda plays all of the men in the film to get exactly what she wants, steamrolling over them all much like Ken with Otto at the end, only with much more charm and less cement. I really love the use of the beat as well - so many lovely little motions and and actions on the beats, which is so subtle and really manages to bring out all the humour in a film that has a lot of verbal comedy.

Also, MICHAEL PALIN. KEN, MY DARLING ♥ Thank you so much for this!

Hahahahaha! I'd forgotten how delightfully crackpotty this film was. You've captured it perfectly.

[lyonie17]

Thanks! It was a delight to work with.

AHAHAHAHA!

I had forgotten just how many familiar faces there are in this movie. I love the way you make the caper plot clear here (another thing I've forgotten).

[lyonie17]

YAY! Thanks :)
