Hey guys! It's super late Thursday night and I have a ton of homework due tomorrow, so naturally I'm avoiding it all and procrastinating in the BYU practice rooms. And, um, excuse me, I was playing Romeo and Juliet's love theme on the piano and I noticed something kind of weird. It sounds kind of like something else. So of course, here's the Romeo and Juliet love theme. And of course you got the main theme. Does that sound like anything else? Or I mean, does that sound funny to anyone else? Maybe if I play it even. It is the Hunger Games 4-note whistle tone thing. It was— they totally stole it from Romeo and Juliet. Mm-hmm. Yep. Mm-hmm.
