The dice were loaded from the start

So, having gotten as far as the Spin Doctors in my ripping process (and coming to their song that references Guildenstern and Rosencrantz) I started work on a mix collecting songs that reference Shakespeare.
I think I've opted against using the ballets and operas based on his plays, but I may use tracks from Romeo + Juliet, or Richard III. I've also got "When Love Speaks" that I may pull a track from.
Feel free to pile on with any suggestions of your own.
I was going to make a list of the stuff I've already grabbed (I don't own a copy of "I Am the Walrus"...) but I can't figure out where iTunes stores their playlists and I'm not sure I feel like typing it all out by hand. That may change because I'm bored. Currently at seventeen tracks, and I'll probably cull one of the two Sting tracks and one of the two Indigo Girls tracks.

Dire Straits: Romeo & Juliet

"A lovestruck romeo sings a streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?"

*swoon*
