After I let it around my head for a couple weeks,
I've finally punched out the following QB filk. Before
I get to it though, I wanted to ask, what other
Bond themes can we corrupt in the name of quiz bowl?


So the challenge is to take any of the themes, and
give it a QB twist. [But please, any one of you who
might be tempted to do them all yourself, leave some
for others.] Please also state whether or not I can
archive them on my QB filks page.

"For Five Points Only"
by Kevin Michael
Wilcox

to the tune of "For Your Eyes Only"
by Bill Conti
and Michael Leeson


For five points only,
surely that can't be right.
For five points only, not
to sound impolite,
But given how low that is, how
low is that first part,
I don't believe it should
be so hard.

For five points only, what a hard
clue!
It should be for ten or fifteen, the hardest I have
seen,
For five points only, what a hard clue!
The points
seem too low to our team; why'd this bonus go to our
team?
What a hard clue, really hard clue.

For five
points only, that really seems too low.
That's simply
a clue that almost no one knows.
If the packet's
all like this, there's no way we'll
endure,
Because this clue is so very obscure.

For five
points only, what a hard clue!
It should be for ten
or fifteen, the hardest I have seen,
For five
points only, what a hard clue!
That question was
unduly mean, was oh so very cruelly mean.
Super hard
clue, for five points only.
