West Site Story of the Twitter Age
This is a little bit different, because I've never talked about a musical before. And it's not a traditional cover, because it's a spoof on a bunch of different songs. But Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" is one of the most popular musicals on Broadway. It's a racially-driven version of Romeo and Juliet, with American Tony trying to be with the Puerto Rican Maria as their friends and family try to rip them apart. It's been redone as "West Bank Story," which won an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film, but the most recent version is probably the funniest.
CollegeHumor.com decided to update the musical for the Internet generation, telling the story of how Tony and Maria met on the Internet. They Twitter, they Facebook, they like to be on e-Harmony, the whole nine yards. Enjoy!
