Romeo and Juliet: It's Everywhere.

Romeo and Juliet has a hand in many modern love stories in Hollywood and in today's literature and music. A good example of this is the song Romeo and Juliet by The Killers. The song is a musical composition about the play. The lyrics are modified to fit the time period, and the music fits the band's style, giving the song a modern appeal. The song has sad and somewhat sentimental tone to it, and it fits the feeling of the play quite nicely. The fact that the band dedicated a whole track to this play is proof of its continued influence of modern culture.
