Culture Shock

In the song, Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult, obvious references to Romeo and Juliet are made. They are obvious because they mention the names Romeo and Juliet, and the quote: "Valentine is done/ Here but now they're gone/ Romeo and Juliet/ Together in eternity" I found the song because of Rockband. C: Yep, and I remembered they had a song that mentioned Romeo and Juliet so I searched on google, 'song on rockband that mentions romeo and juliet' and I instantly got it without even having to open a website page. And now it sounds like I'm advertising Google. I'm not, okay? But I did get these lyrics from Google:

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
