17 Songs Morgan Freeman Needs To Read Dramatically
Bruce Almighty

Recently a video of Morgan Freeman dramatically reading Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" was released, and unsurprisingly the video instantly went viral. There is something about Morgan Freeman's pauses and tone adjustments that bring laughter and amusement to audiences of all ages. The dramatic readings shouldn't stop now; below are 17 songs that Morgan Freeman needs to read dramatically:

1. "My Humps," Black Eyed Peas.

That's right, the world needs to hear Morgan Freeman say, "Whatcha gonna do with all that junk, All that junk inside your trunk? I'ma get get get get you drunk, Get you love drunk off my hump."

2. "A Thousand Miles," Vanessa Carlton.

We've all seen the hilarious clip of Terry Crews' jamming to this song in White Chicks (and he recently lip synced the song on "Lip Sync Battle"). I think it's time for another laugh worthy rendition of the song. Don't you?

3. "Who Let the Dogs Out," Baha Men.

Sure, there aren't too many words to memorize when reading this song's lyrics, but it would still be a unique, memorable performance if Morgan Freeman were to perform this song.

4. "Big Girls Don’t Cry," Fergie.

Justin Bieber recently lip synced to this song on "Lip Sync Battle," and since then I've had a strong desire to hear someone– -- preferably James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, or Morgan Freeman --read these lyrics with emotion. Sure the lyrics are about big girls not crying, but I'm sure a lot of adults would shed a few tears of laughter if Morgan Freeman were to work his magic by reciting these lyrics.

5. "Hot In Here," Nelly.

Bonus points if he changes his voice's pitch and read the female parts by himself.

6. "Yeah," Usher.

I never realized the message that the song's lyrics were about until I reread this song's lyrics very recently, and I'm sure that Morgan Freeman reading the lyrics would get the message across quite clearly.

7. "Low," Flo Rida.

It would be extremely entertaining hearing Morgan Freeman dramatically say, "Them baggy sweat pants and the Reebok's with the straps (the straps); She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (a smack). She hit the floor, next thing you know... Shawty got low low low low low low low low." Can you already visualize his facial expressions? Priceless.

8. "I Kissed A Girl," Katy Perry.

9. "Fireflies," Owl City.

This song was a hit when it came out, but no one really knows why. The lyrics are so odd, which makes it all the more entertaining.

10. "Alejandro," Lady Gaga.

Just hearing him dramatically say "Alejandro, Alejandro... Ale-ale-jandro, Ale-ale-jandro," would suffice as a dramatic reading in my book.

11. "Whataya Want From Me," Adam Lambert.

This reading would have a bit of sass and attitude, making the performance that much more thrilling.

12. "Call Me Maybe," Carly Rae Jepsen.

"Hey, I just met you... and this is crazy. But here's my number, so call me maybe? It's hard to look right, at you baby. But here's my number, so call me maybe?" Another song with stupid lyrics that is oddly entertaining.

13. "Funkytown," Lipps Inc.

Won't you take me to Funkytown? I'll tell you what: I'll go to Funkytown if Morgan Freeman goes with me.

14. "Applause," Lady Gaga.

Morgan Freeman could probably relate to these lyrics once he fulfills our dreams of doing more readings. Come on, admit that you can see him saying: "I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause. Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me... the applause, applause, applause."

15. "Shut Up And Dance," Walk The Moon.

Reading to the camera, making eye contact with the audience, would make this song all the more catchy and fun.

16. "SexyBack," Justin Timberlake.

17. "Never Gonna Give You Up," Rick Astley.

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you..." That's right, Morgan, none of us fans will ever desert you. We'll be cheering you on forever, especially if you give us some more dramatic readings to enjoy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
