This lyric rewrite of the James Bond film title song “Goldfinger” was created for this week’s CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge. Host Bettie’s theme is to rewrite lyrics to celebrate the arrival of the Beatles in America on February 7th 1964. I believe this was also the year that the movie Goldfinger was released.

GOLD RECORDS

Gold records (da DA da)
were their fate, a fate with a Midas touch;
genius touch.
Such a cold seventh,
beckoned you to enter their web of song,
which held so long.

Catchy tunes they did pour in our ears.
Fans’ swoon sighs lasted for many years.
Now those older girls and every sister
recall those great hits

which became Gold Records;
classic pearls, on records which turned to gold,
never grow old.

GOLDFINGER

Goldfinger
He’s the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider’s touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don’t go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can’t disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he’s kissed her
It’s the kiss of death …

From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
