    well certainly Marty Robbins "Devil Woman" [1962]

    and I was thinking of the tritone diabolus in musica - tho' that's perhaps a chord rather than a note -

    and there must be some Devil Hawks out there if I rootle about a bit...
    Well, you can stop that rootling right now. I'm afraid Devil is completely wrong. I was just curious to see whether there was a valid parallel answer...

        Desafinado, Portuguese for "off-key" (apparently)

        a 1962 hit for Ella Fitzgerald and/or Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd

              Never turn your back, especially if butter is in the vicinity...

              We're not quite there yet, Mercia has yet to bring in the hawk.

              EDIT: Ah, he has

                Is that a direct quote from that lass in 'Last Tango in Paris', rubbers?

                Recently deceased, I believe

                  Don't doubt yourself, you're there. The Hawk is Coleman and Desafinado was the album title.

                  The song was originally penned by Antonio Carlos Jobim, of course

                  You make it look so E-zee!
