Title: "To Be, or Not to Be" in Song (by Courtney Welbon)

Description:
So... I had to memorize Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy (by William Shakespeare) for my AP English class and figured that it might be a bit easier to remember it with a melody.**NOTE** Just wanted to clarify that, yes, the melody does not reflect the content nor Hamlet's tone in the actual play. I saw that some listeners were very worried that I did not grasp this concept. Simply put, I needed a way to memorize the piece for a quiz solely based on memorization. As for the analysis quiz on this soliloquy, I got an A+ :)Thank you for listening! check out my band, Town!www.youtube.com/TOWNofficialand give us that thumbs up on Facebook :)www.facebook.com/TOWNofficialSpecial thanks to Mr. Meyers!

Mar 25, 2012 - It's ironic that the song has a happy sound while the soliloquy is about suicide haha. Thought it was a little funny, but I still love it!
