WATCH THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO: http://youtu.be/MuPCfIM3NWo

Bad Romance: Women's Suffrage is a parody music video paying homage to Alice Paul and the generations of brave women who joined together in the fight to pass the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote in 1920.

In 2010, Soomo Publishing launched a parody music video called Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfRaW...]. The result was a viral hit and remains a popular teaching resource for history teachers and political science professors across the United States. The response was so overwhelming that Soomo decided to follow it up with Bad Romance: Women's Suffrage.

Making music videos isn't Soomo's main focus, but education is. Check out our Teaching Resources [http://soomopublishing.com/suffrage/#...] for more information on how this video can be used as a learning tool.

If you aren't familiar with the original video that prompted this parody, you should watch the original by Lady Gaga [http://youtu.be/qrO4YZeyl0I] (content advisory for suggestive/violent imagery). The song "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga went to number one in 17 countries and peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The video won a Grammy and seven MTV Video Music Awards.

    I thought that this was a really moving piece you did here. People seem to think it's funny but I didn't think so; it's just amazing how you can teach so much with music and words when you put them together. Is there any place to download the song (like iTunes)? :)

    Oh really? You think so? Women don't want to have to go through such agony for a baby they didn't even want in the first place. When babies are aborted, its before they can think, feel, or are even considered alive in the uterus. Watch "Two Men Experience What It Feels Like To Give Birth" and see if you're so fucking sexist afterwards! -_-
