Romeo (disambiguation)

Romeo is the male protagonist in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo may also refer to:

Romeo (Wipers song)

"Romeo" was the second single by punk rock band Wipers.

Along with B-side "No Solution", it was recorded during the Youth of America sessions in a small studio in Vancouver, Washington. After deciding it did not fit with the idea behind the Youth of America album, it was released as a 7" single on leader Greg Sage's own Trap Records.

Both the "Romeo" single and Youth of America album featured members of Stiphnoyds, a band who also recorded on Trap. The DeShazer bothers, Craig and Steve, and Bryan Wilson played trombones and trumpet on the track, while Brad Naish played drums.

"Romeo" was later rerecorded for 1983 Wipers album Over the Edge.

Romeo (Ketil Stokkan song)

"Romeo" was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, performed in Norwegian by Ketil Stokkan.

The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Stokkan addressing the object of his desires. He sings about his elaborate preparations to "seduce you" - going to the lengths of borrowing clothes to look better. Unfortunately for him, his advances appear to have been over-eager, as he sings "My greatest pleasure was to touch you/My biggest stupidity was to feel you up". His paramour compares him unfavourably to Romeo, telling him that "the Gods shall know that you will never become a/Romeo, Romeo, try to take it easy", even as he is begging on his knees for the relationship to work.

Despite the somewhat unconventional lyrics - Eurovision entries tending to be about requited love - the song is more significant for the appearance onstage of a drag queen, a member of the Norwegian drag troupe " Great Garlic Girls", dressed in stylised clothing reminiscent of the 18th century.

The performance thus represented the first occasion on which a sexual minority was visible onstage. The Contest is frequently associated with a gay audience; however, there had been no displays of this sexuality in previous years.

The song was performed fourth on the night, following France's Cocktail Chic with " Européennes" and preceding the United Kingdom's Ryder with " Runner In The Night". At the close of voting, it had received 44 points, placing 12th in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1987 Contest by Kate with " Mitt liv".

Romeo

Romeo Montague is one of the title characters in William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. He serves as the play's male protagonist. Romeo, the son of Montague and his wife, secretly loves and marries Juliet, a member of the rival House of Capulet. Forced into exile by his slaying of Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, in a duel, Romeo commits suicide upon hearing falsely of Juliet's death.

The character's origins can be traced as far back as Pyramus, who appears in Ovid's Metamorphoses, but the first modern incarnation of Romeo is Mariotto in the 33rd of Masuccio Salernitano's Il Novellino (1476). This story was adapted by Luigi da Porto as Giulietta e Romeo (1530), and Shakespeare's main source was an English verse translation of this text by Arthur Brooke. Although both Salernitano and da Porto claimed that their stories had historical basis, there is little evidence that this is the case.

Romeo, an only child like Juliet, is one of the most important characters of the play, and has a consistent presence throughout it. His role as an idealistic lover has led the word "Romeo" to become a synonym for a passionate male lover in various languages. Although often treated as such, it is not clear that "Montague" is a surname in the modern sense.
