Listener Renae wrote in with today's topic idea - songs that mention Romeo and Juliet. She says "the classic tragic tale from William Shakespeare pops up in songs quite a bit - some songs tell the tale and some just reference it."

Written in the late 1500s, it's certainly true that this popular play makes a guest appearance in many songs, and let's come up with a playlist of the best ones today.
