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

In which Kiera sings this really dorky parody she wrote to Taylor Swift's "Love Story".

You can download a free mp3 of this song (and some of my other songs) at http://kierajo.bandcamp.com !

Lyrics:

We were both dead when I first saw you
And way too young to be in love
We didnt care
On that balcony in Summer air

See the feuds, see the blood and the duels
See us actin like two young fools;
Im callin, Oh!
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?!

But you were Romeo Montague--couldnt change that
Both are parents said, Stay away from Juliet!
But we were married in secret
We didnt know where to go
Then you said,

Juliet, theres gotta be a way for us to keep our love
We might have to run away, but thats all Im dreamin of
Were both hot--what more could we wisheth?
Its a love story, but it ends with death

You killed Tibalt; Im engaged to Paris
Hes not the guy that I wanted to kiss
He isnt you
There was nothing left for us to do

Dont know why Im referencin The Scarlet Letter
Lets get back to Romeo & Juliet
Cause you were everything to me
But the law forced you to go
Then the friar said,

Romeo, go off somewhere youll be all alone
Shell be waiting; we will get this thing done
Youll both still be hot--what more could you wisheth?
Its a love story, but it ends with death

Romeo left; now theyre tryin to tell me how to feel
Ill feign death--but it wont be real
Im not afraid cause this plan couldnt faileth
Its a love story, but it ends with death

(FUNERAL MARCH INSTRUMENTAL SOLO)

You got tired of waitin
Then you heard the rumor that I was dead
You saw the death that I was feignin
Then you drank the poison on my phony death bed
Then I woke up

Romeo, you idiot! Now youve left me all alone!
You shouldve waited--Oh! You were so dumb!
Whats this on your belt? Its kept in a sheath
Oh, happy dagger! I grit my teeth
AND STABBED!

Romeo & Juliet: we couldnt even die alone
I loved you I guess, and thats all I really know
Our families felt bad, and they no longer fighteth
Its a love story, but it ends with death

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

We were both dead when I first saw you

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!

[Thejesusfreek316]

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

[ianswertobob]

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

[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. :)

[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.

[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

[miss94alicia]

wow wow wow

This is amazing!!! Soooo funny :)

[Drizzt1545]

This... is...

AMAZING

[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

[ni66ascrappy]

[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 :)

[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.

[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.

[Amamasa1]

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

[Arialuvsyou]

[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!
