(House move over - I can now resume the blog posts :) )
My fourth rap parody deviates slightly from Whitney Avalon's as it instead uses the Run DMC/Jason Nevins hit to put a spin on a standoff between classic Shakespearean characters.
It's Like That Love's Like That not by Run DMC or Jason Nevins
Men (Ferdinand, Berowne, Longeville & Dumaine):
Lack of true zeal is at a record high
Scholars strive and scholars fail, now it’s our turn to try
Won’t let love cause us to let it go by
‘Cause love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Women in the world want a man to meet
And we blindly follow on marching to their beat
Always a shame when they then retreat
Love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Huh!
Women (Princess, Rosaline, Maria & Katharine):
We have come here to end all your woes
But your gates against us you have closed
As women are something of which you must dispose.
“Love’s like that”, and that's the way it is
We came here to talk – but you just won’t let us in
To disrespect a princess now that would be a sin
Please don’t do that or no-one will win
“Love’s like that” (what?) and that's the way it is
Huh!
Men:
We mean no offence but we must stick to our sworn vow
Revise not romance is what we do now
Don’t get us wrong we think you’re so pretty - and how
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
We’re not going to woo, we’re going to study hard
Against your wiles we will be on our guard
Don’t even try we won’t even give you a yard
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Huh!
Women:
If you really think you’re all that you must be mad
Your antagonism to us will make us sad
Stop playing games because they’re just a fad
Love’s like that and that's the way it is
Dangerous is what we are not
Don’t be scared by all that we’ve got
If you won us you would win the jackpot
Love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Huh!
Men:
Beauty so great - want to cancel our ban
Each of us just wants to be your man
Can we forgo our studies we think we can
Love’s like that and that's the way it is
Passion grows more day and night
But soon reality bites
Want to leave us? How can that be right
“Love’s like that”, and that's the way it is
Huh!
Women:
Do not despair for we will be back in a tick
This state of affairs ain’t one we’d pick
The thought of losing you it makes us sick
Love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Here's another point on which you could now muse
Now is your chance to prove your love isn’t a ruse
Love is a thing you should not abuse
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Love’s like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Huh!
Men:
You know love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Because love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Men:
You know love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Because love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Both:
You know love’s like that, and that's the way it is
Because love’s like that, and that's the way it is
