Juliet Of The Spirits (song)
"Juliet of the Spirits" is a song recorded by The B-52's. It is the second single from the band's eighth full length studio album, Funplex. A digital single and remix were released on September 9, 2008.
The song was inspired by the film Juliet of the Spirits (Italian: Giulietta degli spiriti), a 1965 surrealist drama about an Italian housewife directed by Federico Fellini. The song's lyrics project themes of sexual liberation and awakening.
Although the song only features the vocals of female singers Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, the band has noted that Fred Schneider was a driving force behind the lyrics. The music was written by the band's guitarist Keith Strickland.

Famous quotes containing the words juliet and/or spirits:
“For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He asked me whether I would not go with him to his house; I declined it, from an apprehension that my spirits would sink. We bade adieu to each other affectionately in the carriage. When he had got down upon the foot-pavement, he called out, “Fare you well;” and without looking back, sprung away with a kind of pathetick briskness, if I may use that expression, which seemed to indicate a struggle to conceal uneasiness, and impressed me with a foreboding of our long, long separation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
