Romeo A Go-Go
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romeo A Go-Go is the lead track from the album Hot Damn! by the New York band Every Time I Die. The song is very fast paced and contains smart lyrics.
The lyric are smart because singer Keith Buckley draws inspiration from prominent literary figure such as Milton, Shakespeare, Donne, and Chaucer.
"At the time that we wrote the record, I was like finishing up at U.B., and I had to take like, a ton, a ton of literary courses because I was an English major and I had to take a ton of literary courses to get my degree in the amount of time I had. So, I was taking like, six literature courses. So I was taking like Milton and Shakespeare, and John Donne and Chaucer, like all at the same time. So that was pretty much pervasive in my life. Like, all that old literature. So, I mean, if there is somebody out there that would actually put the time into reading hardcore lyrics, which I doubt there is, then, you know, there is a lot of Shakespeare images in there, just because that was what I was reading at the time."
