Answer 1

• Witches Brew - David Casper
• Poker Face - Lady Gaga
• Disturbia - Rihanna
• Guilty - Rasmus
• Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
• Papercut - Linkin Park
• Back Stabber - Kesha
• Poison - Alice Cooper
• The Man Without Fear - Rob Zombie

• Godspeed - RJA

Answer 2

'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder, 'Papercut' by Linkin Park, 'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay, and 'Disturbia' by Rihanna. "Roll Away Your Stones" by Mumford & Sons is the best fit. It was directly written about the play...one of the lines is actually a direct quote from one of Macbeth's soliloquies.

Answer 3

The witches appear only in Act 1 Scenes 1 and 3, Act 3 Scene 5, and Act 4 Scene 1. The only songs referred to are 'Come away, come away', in Act 3 Scene 4; and 'Black spirits' in Act 4 Scene 1. The texts of these songs appear, not in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', but in the play 'The Witch' by Thomas Middleton [April 18, 1580-1627]. Otherwise, the witches usually talk in fairly short and rhymed lines. But whether their rhymed lines can be considered songs in the true sense of the term is doubtful. 'Round about the caldron go', in Act 4 Scene 1, has the best chance of being a true song, especially with the refrain 'Double, double'. But by that standard the stanzas are of irregular length.

Answer 4

Not a lot of songs relate to Macbeth. The entire play revolves around revenge and reckless ambition. These themes are not found very often in songs.

Answer 5

It's hard to describe Lady Macbeth in song. No one in a song is as painfully ambitious as she.
