tareth Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 O Valencia!, and We Both Go Down Together by The Decemberists both have images in them that are very similar to Romeo and Juliet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmel Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 i differentiated between dire straits and knopfler... I know its a strange one to be picky about. Sorry for skimming that line also yes, O Valencia by the decemberists, always makes me picture romeo and juliet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Because this is a class assignment, I think I'd avoid songs that are about (or explicitly reference) Romeo and Juliet ... too obvious. For some reason "Leader of the Pack" crosses my mind (the Shangri-Las), but I think any teen love song where one or both of the principal characters wind up dead would work.

bsr8j Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Because this is a class assignment, I think I'd avoid songs that are about (or explicitly reference) Romeo and Juliet ... too obvious. This former English teacher completely agrees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Analogman prefers King Lear. I prefer when A-man refers to himself in the third person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just in case you're still working on it: Question - Old 97'sI Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie But I do rather like the all-Wilco list that A-man came up with. Lends some cohesiveness to it that way with one only band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Speaking of English teachers - when Analogman was in the 10th grade, his class watched that Romeo and Juliet movie made in the 60s. Before it started - someone asked the teacher if there was going to be nudity in the film - she replied that you could not love someone in bed with your clothes on.

H.Stone Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 she replied that you could not love someone in bed with your clothes on. I will be using that line... Thanks Analogman's English Teacher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well, that was the 1980s. I don't think teachers could do such things now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
