Yo! Wordsworth Raps

Yo! Wordsworth Raps

William Wordsworth's famous poem "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" has been turned into a rap song. The star of the accompanying video is some poor, squirrel-suit-wearing schmuck dubbed MC Nuts. "As well as making the works of Wordsworth relevant to a new, younger audience," claims the British tourism organization that commissioned the new version, "it also shows how modern-day rap and its clever use of wordplay is a distant relative of poetic rhyming verse."

Yeah, we see all kinds of kids getting into Romantic poetry after watching this. Next up: Lady Sovereign does "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner."
