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.

If anyone wants to read the YouTube comments for this absolutely spectacular video, please don't. You just might lose faith in humanity (and men) all over again.

[ginnyrules13]

You mean besides not making equal what a man makes for doing the exact same job, the government not thinking we should be able to make choices concerning our own bodies and living in a country that perpetuates rape culture and sympathizes with the rapists? You're right! Why should we complain? After all, we only make up about 54% of the population of a country that treats women like second-class citizens.

[FireboltWild17]

We will never forget the Founding Mothers as well as the Founding Fathers. Behind every great man, there was a mother who raised him.
