S.O.A.P. -Not by Other Girls - Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something´s happening to me

In the summertime I met a guy
He was so fine, He blew my mind
My friends are telling me
Girl he's a loser
But they can't see

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something´s happening to me

From the first time I saw his eyes
There was sunshine
Everytime he walks into the room
I feel my heart go boom boom boom

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something´s happening to me

There was a time, when I was young
And love it felt so strong
Now it comes back to me
What's going on

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something´s happening to me


In the song Romeo and Juliet, by Soap(Not by Other Girls) , there are many direct references to Romeo and Juliet(the novel). 
The song not only uses the names Romeo and Juliet, 
but also talks about the plot-how two people fall in love(in the song in the summer), 
and also the song brings up the very common motif of "sun" in the novel. 
Although unlike in the novel, the person in the song realizes that it was a typical "summer love", 
while in the novel their love is much more(all though weird) real. 
Also, instead of being in feuding familes, other people (like her friends) 
thought that he was a loser(as it says in the text of the song) which in the book is one of the main conflicts.
