From A Midsummer Night’s Dream:
A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
Which is as brief as I have known a play;
But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
Which makes it tedious.
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
My mood? Vocal Roger Ebert had a symbiotic relationship with dry Gene Siskel, then shone solo.
If it was thumbs up or down, it was always kindly.
This is the 30th in a series of 40 pop-music parodies for Shakespeare fans.

Navarre Shake
based on the Internet meme featuring “Harlem Shake” by Baauer(With no apologies…)
[The KING, LONGAVILLE, and DUMAINE are engrossed in study. They ignore BEROWNE, who is dancing wildly while music plays.]
Con los reconquistas!
Hey, Shake!
Hey, Shake!You can do the Navarre Shake!
[Quick cut. The KING, LONGAVILLE, DUMAINE, and BEROWNE are now all dressed as Muskovites. They are joined by the PRINCESS, ROSALINE, MARIA, and KATHERINE. All eight are dancing wildly as the music plays.]
Con los reconquistas!
Hey, Shake!
Hey, Shake!Do the Navarre Shake!
I am moving a mouse while the button you press;
I’m a cigarette hit; I am cross-gendered dress;
A fast race with two cars; slowing force to suppress;
Or to make one go with you while under duress.
Who am I?
