Hey Nonny Nonny

Joss Whedon wrote music (with a modern sound) to :
"Sigh No More"
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sigh no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny.

All the music Joss wrote for 'Much Ado About Nothing' is available for purchase at amazon, but the best (by far) is 'Sigh No More' sung by Joss' sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen and his brother (her husband) Jed Whedon:

you can listen to a clip of it for free at that link, worth it just to hear the hauntingly beautiful minor keys of hey nonny nonny.
This is my new favorite song (listening on a loop)!

sigh no more, much ado about nothing, maurissa tancharoen, jed whedon, shakespeare, joss whedon
