Happy Sonnet Birthday!
Today, May 20, marks the 401st birthday of the publication of William Shakespeare's sonnets. I am currently swamped with day job things, so rather than post something half hearted let me point you at Bardfilm's Best Uses of Shakespeare Sonnets in Popular Culture. Enjoy!

One that didn't make the list is the song Summer Girls by LFO:

Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets

Not a pop culture "best use?" Who's to say? In 1999 the song reached number one in Billboard Hot Single sales and went platinum.
