Hark! What song through yonder window breaks? It is "(Just Like) Romeo & Juliet" by The Reflections, from 1964. It may be the last gasp of doo-wop, but what a way to go out! You wouldn't believe how many other houses have covered this song - let's start with The Fadin' Colours from the land of Shakespeare. They add fuzz!, horns, and a turbulent arrangement that matches the dramatic subject matter. Little Caesar & The Consuls are some Canucks who sped the song up and affixed some hillbilly hiccupin'! Lovers of Nuggets will expect Michael & The Messengers version and we won't disappoint - a great organ-driven garage number that deserves your ears, countrymen! Ultimate Spinach are strong to the finish with their '68 rendition - surprisingly tasty! Finally, the Fallen Angels revived the song in '75 (too bad they couldn't do the same for the main characters) and it's wisely slow - they stumble that run fast! (that's from the Bard himself!!) These violent delights have violent end!
