"Love Story" Parody...the True Shakespearean Version

[tyrannosaur1]

my little sister laughed at my because i like romeo and juliet, "I'ts a Romance movie!" she said, "You're a guy!" then i told her that there's fout different duels, and half the major characters die, including Romeo and Juliet. now she no longer says she want's to fall in love like juliet

[NaidyAdy]

Girls at my school always sing the crappy original and they all hate me cause I scream at them 'IT"S A FREAKIN' TRAGEDY!!' Now, I can save my voice and just throw a link to here, my hero <3 :)

[ianswertobob]

@NaidyAdy Hahaha. Glad you liked it and that you could relate!

[miss94alicia]

wow wow wow

This is amazing!!! Soooo funny :)

[Drizzt1545]

This... is...

AMAZING

[Thejesusfreek316]

Is it bad that I know every word to this song now?

[ianswertobob]

@Thejesusfreek316 Of course not! That just makes me really happy. :)

[Flohastheflow]

I know right! Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy...not some soap...

[xxjanie182]

This. Is. The. Best.

[EndlessObscure]

Congratulations on your brain.

[shelver93]

'What more could we wisheth?" maybe one of the greatest song lyrics ever. Just saying :)

[TeamRomeo9th]

I really love this!!! SHAKESPEARE ROCKS!!! <3

[BaileyAwesomeSmile]

I don't know how I just found you! I am actually reading this for fun. My friends think I am a bit crazy considering I never read, but Shakespeare is different.

[ianswertobob]

@BaileyAwesomeSmile Oh yeah, I love reading Shakespeare! I've mostly read his plays for classes, but I often end up re-reading them later on my own. :)

[ni66ascrappy]

Lmao nice GJ on this best parody i think ive seen n a while

[spbookworm]

I LOVE THIS.

Siriusly, I can't stand that song. It makes R&J to be some sappy tale. It's famous because it's a tragedy. And it wasn't all happy-go-lucky story. Like you said, it's about two far-too-young people in spontaneous like who ended up killing themselves.

I started laughing when you said, "I don't know why I'm referencing Scarlet Letter."

THIS IS SO GOOD.

Less than three.

[ianswertobob]

@spbookworm I'm so glad you liked it--thanks for your awesome comment! <3

[NargelsLikesMe]

We were to performe the original on our "end of school party" with my class, but I was so disturbed by the text that I skipped the whole event... Thank good I'm not the only one to get disturbed by this :)

[featheredskyblue]

Dorky: yes.

Accurate: yes.

A perfect adaptation which edits out the misuse of Romeo and Juliet, one of my literary pet peeves: yes.

You are my new favorite.

[ianswertobob]

@featheredskyblue I know--while I have nothing against Taylor Swift, that lyrics to that song have always driven me crazy. Glad I'm not the only one! Ha.

[Amamasa1]

is more like the true story sad and tragic but a beautiful love anyways Aww <3 T-T

[Arialuvsyou]

nice romeo mustach

[Justtubed]

i would like a mp3 of this.

[ianswertobob]

@Justtubed Aw! Good to know. I've done free downloads of songs in the past, but I'm never sure how many people are actually interested in having them... I'll let you know when I make one available!

[WhatTravisSays]

Oh my gosh this was amazing. You should switch the title around and put Love Story Parody at the beginning to get more traffic. xD

[ianswertobob]

@WhatTravisSays Will do, oh guru of the views! Ha.

[amhernandez9]

This song annoyed me since it came out however this parody is too clever not to rate it 5 stars and comment. This was really good!

[ianswertobob]

@amhernandez9 Yay! I'm glad you liked it! :D (And didn't you help Beth with our super duper top #SekritProject which is still as of yet undisclosed and Top Secret?!)

[amhernandez9]

@ianswertobob yes I am the one who helped out with that I can't wait to see what the final product is like :)

[theamberyone]

Kiera, words just can't do JUSTICE to how much I heart you. <3

[ianswertobob]

@theamberyone I absolutely adore you and your justice. :D

[kilamiranda]

hahahaha Oh Kiera, i can't tell you how much i loved this!!

[ianswertobob]

@kilamiranda Hooray! I'm so glad you approve.

[Christi543]

Hahaha this is wonderful, and you have a lovely voice! :)

[RockstarRaquel]

Um... HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?

You are too beautiful for words. I want to be you when I grow up.

[ianswertobob]

@RockstarRaquel My love for you cannot be described in words. It's too strong! Thou art a shining star in the night sky of my heart...or something. ;)

[Jopankee]

i love it!

[TheCasperOne]

so watching this again. I just realized your Romeo sounds a little like Tay.

[ianswertobob]

@TheCasperOne Aw, yay! I'm glad you liked it enough to watch it more than once! :D And PAHA! Tay Zonday Romeo. That's FABULOUS. <3

[Palereader19]

This is by far the funniest parody I've ever heard! I loved the mustache and I loved when Romeo is moaning/dying in harmony with Juliet :)

[ianswertobob]

@Palereader19 I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Natalie. I exist to strive for your praise. <3

[jenswriter]

Hahhaha, awesome.

[aaachannel]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And... I had to write a semi coherent comment. Basically this was hilarious. Very nice joib. Joib? Job.

[ianswertobob]

@aaachannel JOOIIIIIIB! That's how COACH Z from HOMESTAR RUNNER says job!!!! :D

[carmenriots]

This is the best song of my life. <3

[sineadsmithh]

This is awesome :)

[TheOrangeDream]

I love love love this! Brilliant! :D

[dougieobern]

If you answer to BOB what does your mustache answer too?

[ianswertobob]

@dougieobern I've decided my mustache answers to Fabio Fernando Wilson. He is THAT special--he demands a FULL NAME. ;)

[LilyJay]

EPIC WIN SAWCE. "Like" x 1,000,000,000!!

[ianswertobob]

@LilyJay Your spelling of SAWCE is epic win sawce. ;) I'm glad you liked the song! :D

[Sprink768]

This is my favorite! Go kiera!

[ianswertobob]

@Sprink768 Yay! Thanks McKell! :D

[TheDietKiwi]

chalk this up to the MANY reasons you're way too cool for your own good.

[ianswertobob]

@TheDietKiwi Aw! <3 Thanks so much! You're a sweetheart. ;)

[supersharayah]

i LOVE this! It's great! :D

[kaylasturner]

I love this. I love you. love love love  haha :)

[finchiphile]

love.

[SignoraDelTempo]

Wow, absolutely awesome! Alot better than the original. Lol

[ianswertobob]

@SignoraDelTempo Haha, thanks! I do like the original--I honestly do...it's just that its intense inaccuracy/cliche misrepresentation of Romeo & Juliet has always bugged me. *fixed* ;)

[BENCHILDSy]

Brilliant!

[SciFiGirl1023]

haha... i was hoping someone would do this! So great!

<3smk

[ChateauOfADoubt]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. You with facial hair. HOT.

I also love that you've parodied this song in this way. You clever girl:)

[ianswertobob]

@ChateauOfADoubt I know, right? I think my facial hair is pretty flipping attractive away. It makes me look like a fetching beauty...I don't understand why the guys aren't lining up to date me when I have a mustache like that! Also, I'm glad you liked the song! :D

[fizzylimon]

hahahaha you witty, witty girl you

[WillsOdyssey]

Ace. Simply ace.

[ianswertobob]

@WillsOdyssey Thanks, Will! :D I think your comment is simply ace...because ace is a cool word. Glad you liked my parody!

[ELLtheBAG]

amzing you imaginative person u

[Beniqwa]

This is amazing.

[easavoy]

Kiera! You are hilarious. I'm glad someone fixed the lyrics so that they were true to their references.

[ianswertobob]

@easavoy It had to be done!!!! ;) Also, you're SO hypnotizing.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

aaaaaaaaaaaah I love this. Beautiful and tragic and funny. I love the combination of the three.

[ianswertobob]

@lesliefoundhergrail HOORAY! Thanks, Leslie! I'm glad to have seemingly found a recipe for success in this parody. ;)

[Justtubed]

do you know that I love you?

[ianswertobob]

@Justtubed <3<3<3

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahaha.

beautiful.

[emmfan09]

I like the "don't why I'm referencing the Scarlett Letter" line :D Also, yay Windows Movie Maker!

[ianswertobob]

@emmfan09 Thanks! And yes, I'm definitely among the few who STILL use WMM for videos. Ha!

[LizzieRadio]

Yeah, this is fantastic! I LOVE.

[ckXcore]

This is awesome! You must have worked really hard for this!

*dramatic dying noises at end* EPIC!

[ianswertobob]

@ckXcore Those weren't dramatized, Cody. This is SERIOUS STUFF. I totally died twice in the filming of this video.

[nenalyzed]

love it!

not sure that I get the first sentence though

'we were both dead when I first saw you'

[ianswertobob]

@nenalyzed Glad you liked the song! What I meant by "we were both dead when I first saw you" was that upon first glance their fate was already sealed--like the moment they saw each other they might as well already have been dead because that's exactly what the one look was leading up to the whole time.

[Addi3]

this is epic!

[doorwaysmag]

This was excellent. Creative and funny!

[duplicatehelix]

Wow.. that was pretty impressive.

[meganhibner]

Aww, I love it! Great job!

<3 Megan

[TheCasperOne]

been up for 16 hours so it's kinda hard to put good sentences together.

[TheCasperOne]

FIRST. said you uploaded 5 minutes ago. Very Good love it. wish I had a good singing voice. I can only make a joyful noise which is ok.

[ianswertobob]

@TheCasperOne Glad you liked it! :D It's okay if you can only "make a joyful noise"! As the wise writers of A Very Potter Musical would say, "MAKE A JOYFUL SOUND; VOLDEMORT IS GOING DOWN!"
