Hi, Web-ed. Thanks for being the first to comment on the latest installment of my new
O. T. Katie story.

Her attempt to avoid the spanking scene by suggesting she could sing the theme song from the movie was of course futile - Katie may think she can avoid spanking, but we know better!
I'm glad you liked it. I've mentioned before that one of my inspirations for Katie was Lucy Ricardo. Besides being a pretty redhead... besides getting spanked in four different episodes of her show... there was a running joke that she always wanted to sing, in spite of having a terrible voice. However... I think
this time she made the suggestion
knowing it was futile.

Audiophiles and physics majors will recognize "Hz" as the abbreviation for Hertz, or cycles per second. A soprano's high "C" (two C's above middle C) would be 1046.5 Hz in the modern tuning system and is certainly hard on the ears if the soprano isn't very good.
I wasn't sure how many people would get that one. I'm glad that you, being the first to comment did get it. (I figured that, if no one else did, Phil O, the musician, would be able to explain it.)

Imagine a cranky feminist version of Kiss Me Kate with the spanking removed - everyone would hate it! So it's time to rehearse the spanking scene, and it's fun to see. But as Katie says, we meanies want to see her get a real spanking, and I'm sure it won't be long in coming, as even Katie (for once) realizes.
Yeah! In Katie's universe,
Northern Assignment is considered a classic, and perhaps the best movie Scottie MacHottie ever made. And, of course, a large part of its appeal is the final scene where the naughty spy-girl finally gets the spanking she's deserved since the opening credits ran!
