You don't mind another of these, do you?

[katernater]

I just finished watching Shakespeare Retold : 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

I think I love that play over all Shakespeare's others.

And Beatrice/Benedick are my Elizabethan drama OTP. So, naturally,

oo1. LOVE ME DEAD [RADIO EDIT] : Ludo
[ BENEDICK AND BEATRICE ] ♫

LEONATO: You must not, sir, mistake my niece. There is a
kind of merry war betwixt Signior Benedick and her:
they never meet but there's a skirmish of wit
between them.




oo2. GUTTERMOUTH : Bree Sharp
[ BEATRICE ] ♫

LEONATO: By my troth, niece, thou wilt never get thee a
husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue.




oo3. HANDSOME MAN : Robbie Williams
[ BENEDICK ] ♫

BEATRICE: Very easily possible: he wears his faith but as
the fashion of his hat; it ever changes with the
next block.




oo4. LOVE YOU MADLY : Cake
[ BENEDICK TO BEATRICE ] ♫

BENEDICK: Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of
the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?
No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would
die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I
were married.




oo5. A SORTA LOVE SONG : Marin Mazzie
[ BEATRICE TO BENEDICK ] ♫

BEATRICE: What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true?
Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much?
Contempt, farewell! and maiden pride, adieu!
No glory lives behind the back of such.
And, Benedick, love on; I will requite thee,
Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand:
If thou dost love, my kindness shall incite thee
To bind our loves up in a holy band;
For others say thou dost deserve, and I
Believe it better than reportingly.




oo6. FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE : Bright Eyes
[ BENEDICK AND BEATRICE ] ♫

BEATRICE: I would not deny you; but, by this good day, I yield
upon great persuasion; and partly to save your life,
for I was told you were in a consumption.

BENEDICK: Peace! I will stop your mouth.




+ BONUS TRACK
SIGN NO MORE : Mumford & Sons

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
