Bad Romance: Women's Suffrage is a parody music video paying homage to Alice Paul and the generations of brave women who joined together in the fight to pass the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote in 1920.
In 2010, Soomo Publishing launched a parody music video called Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration [www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfRaW...]. The result was a viral hit and remains a popular teaching resource for history teachers and political science professors across the United States. The response was so overwhelming that Soomo decided to follow it up with Bad Romance: Women's Suffrage.
Making music videos isn't Soomo's main focus, but education is. Check out our Teaching Resources [soomopublishing.com/suffrage/#...] for more information on how this video can be used as a learning tool.
If you aren't familiar with the original video that prompted this parody, you should watch the original by Lady Gaga [ • Lady Gaga - Bad Romanc... ] (content advisory for suggestive/violent imagery). The song "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga went to number one in 17 countries and peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The video won a Grammy and seven MTV Video Music Awards.

10 years and this video still holds as one of the best parodies on the internet
Yes indeed
Auyyeee I’m here in 2022 for the first time 🙌🏼
@@thecoldglassofwatershow same!
i dont think it really qualifies as a parody just because of how well made it is. I'd consider it an adaptation
This song was so good that Lady Gaga made her own version of this song
LMAOO
I bet she butchered it.😏
She beat the cover up
My daughter sang for this video 😊
wow really? she has a great voice!@@wendypiazza6017
"I WANNA WEAR PANTS" Hell, that's a reason to fight right there.
Do you not get it? Who wore pants then oh yeah it was men and what do men have THE RIGHT TO VOTE so its saying they just want to be treated like men do!!!! Try to actually be smart next time
Leah Cormier Jokes must be hard to understand where you come from.
Leah Cormier Damn girl I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with the video.
Dr. Banjo
My sister was part of the group that fought for the right of girls to wear pants in our schools in our town. There was a time when girls Weren't allowed to wear pants to school. I remember it. It wasn't fun. And we fought to wear pants.
Honestly, I’m all about not wearing pants
ngl, history is by far my least favorite subject in school but THIS GOES SO HARD i listen to it unironically ☠️☠️
LMAFO SAME
Me rn 💀
Literally this is so true just had to listen to this a couple days ago in class
My teacher played this today and I had to come back to it 😭😭
It is very factual. It even has the Alice Paul character quoting a modified version of the Equal Rights Amendment, and Abigail Adams (wife of John Adams) quote from a letter to her husband: “Remember the Ladies” imploring him to write women into the new Constitution. Sadly, he just laughed at her request. Well done!
Harry T Burn, the man in the video who changed his vote, was my great uncle. His mother, my great grandmother, wrote him that note in his pocket to encourage him to do the right thing. There's a statue of the two in my hometown that says:
"Every vote counts
Every letter or phone call counts
One more person doing the right thing can make all the difference"
That story, the story of doing the right thing for others even when it is hard, has inspired so much of who I am. I will forever be grateful.
This music video still makes me tear up after all of these years. I'm so grateful for its creators.
I learned something new today from you. So thank you so much for that! :)
Wow, that's so awesome! I'm glad you were able to find this video!
Thank you for your comment. That’s some great family history. Kudos to them both! I also got a tear in my eyes when I thought of what those women went through, not only for themselves but for us! We stand on their shoulders, and we also have our own fight today. I only ask that the ERA get put into the Constitution in my lifetime, but it’s not looking like that’s going to happen (I’m 73). I will continue to fight for as long as I’m able.
That is just AWESOME! What an amazing bit of family history! I think my mother (who wouldn't have particularly liked the music) would have approved of this video if she'd ever seen it -- when I was a kid she would bring me into the voting booth with her, like my dad with with my brother). Because she was raised that VOTING IS IMPORTANT! And I remember the first time she ever voted a split ticket, instead of just pulling the big GOP lever -- it would have been in the mid to late 1970s, when the "Right to Life" party was moving in on judgeships in NYS. And she was going "OMG -- I do NOT want those people anywhere NEAR the bench! Hmmm --- Republican line, Conservative Party line, RtL party line..." And voted for the Democrat in EVERY JUDICIAL RACE (If my MAGAhat cousin ever heard that she did that -- and the reason why? His brain would explode....)
I also find it interesting that many people today think it was so long ago, but, to me, because I’m 73, remind myself that my own mother was already five years old when women got the vote. Doesn’t seem so long ago when I remember that,
.
I listened to this in history class so long ago and it still hits hard
I heard this in my history class today and I've already listened to it 10 times.
Me too
Same
My college American History II professor showed us this a couple days ago.
I just listened to it in history
My daughter loves this video. Her social studies teacher showed the class this video to help them learn about women's rights.
my grandmother was a sufferagist in Cleveland Oh. my grandfather supported her in her quest for the vote.
i know her
GoddessNeith your grandfather seems like a very nice guy. He must have really loved your grandmother. That is exactly what a husband or boyfriend should be to their partner ie loving and supportive. I thank him for doing the right thing by supporting your grandmother in her efforts.
I'm glad they finally added the credits. After I saw this for the first time quite a few years ago, I had to look hard to identify Meredith Garrison as the Alice Paul character. She's brilliant!
the feminism in me manifesting when my 5th grade teacher showed us this video
OMGG YESSS but she didn’t show us this she showed us the Declaration of Independence but it’s still a banger😝
same but showed us the Declaration one in 4th grade, this is my first time seein this video@@vae5612
the power this song has that even its parodies are masterpieces. Its already a classic. And to think that it was written by Gaga when she was only 23 🤯
this is very, very catchy. cant stop listening
Heard this in history but ngl, loved it
My history teacher played this in class.
SAMEEEE
History is my favorite subject and this song was played only once but I now listen to it every now and then because it’s so good
Same
My third grade teacher showed this video in class 10 years ago and it still gets stuck in my head sometimes
the choreography is sick. I want to learn it so bad smh
It’s not hard
Like seriously, that's what I was thinking the whole time! :D
Have a great day!
They mafe a behind the scenes video for this
I would like to say, thanks to Professor Fink for introducing me to Alice Paul and showing me this video.
If you see this comment, I really appreciate what you have taught me in your classes.
This is such a good way to learn about this stuff I love it it’s like learning in a fun way but better
God this youtube creator needs to make more history parodies.
Listened to this a good 8 years ago.... listened to it over the years and still have it memorized. This song is a jam
2024 anyone?
"Freedom, it is contagious."
I love songs with a shit ton of meaning behind them
i love songs with a crap ton of meaning behind them too. The just move u so deeply like what the heck
But women not fully developed brain shrink like shrimp
@@toycats2ndcousinshalfbrother smartest 12 year old boy
2023 here and this deserves to go viral again
Man brings back memories when i was in history class
My history teacher put this on in class with no context 😭
I DIEING OF HOW MUCH I LOVE IT
How have I not seen this sooner!!?? I love this! Timeless!!!
My history put this on and my entire class made her set it on repeat and we listen to it for like thirty minutes and now I just listen to it every now and then it's a really good song
My teacher made us watch this today and it was so good I came home and watched it again! Thanks Mrs.M!
Me toooo
I watched this in history class almost 10 years ago and I still watch this I cry this is so good
I used this video in my History and government classes my last 10 years before I retired!
Thank you for teaching students about amazing stuff that the students will love!
@@al_exnxusx I hope they make a few more videos like this that resonate with the Current Generation of teens! 🙌🏼
my history teacher made us watch this and i fell asleep bro☠️☠️☠️☠️
My AP US history teacher showed me this in class a few weeks. XD
Today is the anniversary of the vote being granted. I had to come back and watch this again, AND share it on social media.
I remember Middle school watching this, now I'm a senior about to graduate thought I'd revist memories 😂
I low-key thought that this was the actual version of this song for like 7 years until about three weeks ago.
Still my favorite song. Very empowering!
best song ever I love history
ty for the song I love it
A woman who is a lawyer posted this on a web forum she and I are both on. And I was going "OMG -- this is FABULOUS! Thank you for posting the link! I LOVE this! Best "filk" EVER!"
My social studies played this to us and I got so excited because I LOVE the song, but I never expected it to be THIS song
Same what teacher
@@toycats2ndcousinshalfbrother Perez
@@JustMiranda08 same fr
@@toycats2ndcousinshalfbrother wait, what school do you go to? 😭💀
@@JustMiranda08 ensor middle school Tx
Mr Booth seventh grade, that class was agony and everyone was screaming during this.
History teacher clicking on this right now :
we need more of these!
I watched this video in my American History class today...I was funny n....veryyyy beautiful.
Hey hey, me too, are we in the same school? 👀
@@ZK-ib2wp okay..who's this??
@@wahaylagonnie1328 never mind lol, sorry
Needed today more than every in 2024, when widespread misogyny is on the rampant rise on TH-cam.
my whole class was vibing to this-
me and my friends still talk about this song 4 years after we listened to it in 5th grade history class
I love the symbolism in this video
civics go hard with this song lowkey
my history teacher made us watch this ☠️☠️☠️
bruh my whole class was laughing-
also can someone tell me what they are doing with the angrey woman 1:49
That part represented that young women suffragists were put into prison for drinking when it was illegal at the time in the 1920's. Many women went on a hunger strike in those prisons in which they refused to eat. In this specific scene, it demonstrated how law enforcement force fed them through tubes through the nose. It was a form of torture, very painful
To add to what Mael said, this was depicting Alice Paul, one of the more radical suffragettes, who herself hunger striked and was forcefed. I would link to a depiction of it in the film _Iron Jawed Angels_ , but all I can find isthe full movie, but a crappy quality version. There's supposed to be a clip that's of better quality, I don't know why I can't find it. Here's a link to the wikipedia article about Paul: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul.
th-cam.com/video/jldfd8MUxaQ/w-d-xo.html. They force fed Alice Paul- a suffragette leader who went on a hunger strikes for women to get the right to vote
Listened to this in history and got me hyped for women’s rights 🔥
I want woman rights
my teacher thought this was actually a lady gaga video and made us watch the whole thing…
2022 and the overturn of roe v wade . . .
Didn't even think of that, but yes the song absolutely applies!
And people laughed when feminists warned that 45 would do this exact thing. Always trust your gut feeling
I love this and it’s amazing
This made me very emotional. I don't realize on a daily basis how hard women fought for our right to vote. Thanks ladies :)
Best version of this song ever.
The Economics of Sex
BEST parody I've seen! So well done! Gaga would be so happy to see this!
she wrote it
I'm guessing she's seen it, and that she's proud to have her music used this way!
I really liked that at the end the father was happy his daughter got to vote.
Which part are you talking about?
Near the end when all the guys are voting, and the last one votes "yes", and they start fighting you can see him smiling in the background.
That's meant to be the President of the United states...
myvampirediary1 Oh, I always thought it was that girl's father.
Treeslawood
No, it's President Wilson.
My teacher showed us this in social studies yesterday heheheh
***** wow XD
I feel sorry for both for you.
I saw this is SS too
same here she showed us this today XD
same here she showed us this today XD
In my opinion this song is way better than the original video thank u so much for creating this video
yea
Just cuz you don't like an artist, doesn't mean you have say a cheap and boring alternate version of their art is better than what they made.
same
+rurumad they didn't offend gaga I prefer this vid
+Aviva Corre good for you
Happy Women's Suffrage Day!
+Anastasia Alexandra Говоришь по-русски, Настя?
Do I speak Russian? No.
+Anastasia Alexandra hilarious
I swear I get chills everytime I see this. It's so amazing!
We watched this in US History the other day and I absolutely love it. It was amazing to see the class go dead silent during the video. Amazing video and clever lyrics.
I'm a guy. I support feminism. I do not support misandry or misogyny. Shouldn't be that hard to wrap peoples heads around.
hey u alive
I'm really impressed that they were able to do that choreography in ankle length dresses!
you hear everything profound and about voting, and then at 4:36
"I wanna wear pants!"
is this the same people who made the declaration of independence song?
John Lee the same company, yes.
Angeline Ma™ It was actually an issue. Skirts in those days were long and heavy to preserve "modesty", and severely restricted movement; countless women were burned when their skirts caught fire, fell down stairs by tripping on a hem, drowned if they fell in water, and plain couldn't do anything physically active--no sports, or even bike-riding. And any woman who wore sensible clothes, such as trousers, was arrested for cross-dressing. So pants do contribute to progress.
Rosa Night oh yeah, I do agree. what I mean is that many people might not understand what they mean because the line sounds so sudden. I mean that they should maybe provide some introduction to the "I wanna wear pants!" line so that people can understand that they might take their freedom for granted.
Rosa Night Exactly. There was a whole movement around it called rational dress. It started out advocating against the tight lacing of corsets and expanded into other things, bicycle suits, bloomers (not underwear, a sort of precursor to pants), skirts that were above the ankle and easy to move in etc.
Much much much better than the actual Bad Romance song and music video
My teacher showed us this in Language Arts. I really love it
my history teacher showed us this cause he got bored
LOL
+NonSleepy Zebra same lol
mine too I th out I could check it out
My civics teacher show me.
I watched this in civics!! lots of hidden things in here we discussed it in class. THANKS MR.LOYKO!!!!
well this is my new favourite informational song
I came on to share my delight at how creative and fun this video is and just find a bunch of men freaking out about it? SERIOUSLY? This video speaks only to equality and the bravery that women had to fight for the vote. Men attacked women marching for that right, it was not an easy movement. I'm very disappointing in the little boys complaining right now. This is a 100 year anniversary tribute boys, get over it please and celebrate with the rest of us.
Who would dare dislike this video? WHO!?
Ikr woman should get their rights and woman rights jokes aren't funny and I'm talking about some people who does that 👥
Thank You!
if someone comments "shut up bitch and make me a samich" i swear to god...
i feel you
Isabel Wolf No offense, but women do have rights. (At least in the US.)
This is so well done and also modern, which makes it appeal to a younger crowd. What an awesome idea!
I remember I saw this in my U.S History class, then saw your other video of "To late to Apologize" in Middle school :) I still suggest this to any history teacher who wants to both:
1. make a point in their lesson
2. and still have your students attention near the end of the day
This did do just that, least for my class
The women (and some men) fought so hard for all of us to be given the chance to vote. And now a lot of people don't even participate in any political matter small or big that requires a vote. I feel like it's so disrespectful to women's suffrage.
I have watched this 19 times in a row already. I love this parody so much!!
My 8th grade class was extremely engaged in this video, and I heard one young lady even say, "That was AWESOME!" as she left class. Thank you!! I hope you'll make more wonderful history videos like this!
This is like, the best thing ever, idk why it's taken me so long to see it
it's really iconic that most women are still fighting for rights and it's 2015
OMG I LOVE 5SOS TOO!!! SORRY I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
irene clifford Gonna exercise my Freedom of Speech here. Ahem... Those bigots in congress need to (wo)man up and accept everyone having certain unalienable rights.
Nicole Speaks
LIES! I'm sorry but women have more rights than men do these days.
Matthew Conroy i'm sorry, but around the world there is STILL women fighting for their rights. men still think they're superior to women, women get less pay than men do, men treat women as if they're objects, etc. you're not a woman and clearly you don't know how it feels.
this is my favorite parody i've seen it talks about the past and how women got there right and I learned about that in school last week and this is a really good review it makes it easy for me to remember because I can get this song stuck in my head pretty fast thank you for all your time and dedication for this video I have a teacher that's really in to photography and he said this video must have been a lot of money thanks once again for making learning easy for me with this song.
Whoever song this song, you have a wonderful voice. Holy crap!
Still makes me tear up
heck everything makes me tear up these days
I've already seen this almost literally a gazillion times!
Watched this in social studies. Absolutely love it.
This video was done incredibly well. Fabulous job - the balance between originality and Gaga was perfect and the topic was even more fantastic.
Went straight from the Mary Poppins 'Sister Sufferage' video to this... not sure what to say really, but I *am* laughing happily at the creativity.
+Richard August so, what, I'm not allowed to laugh?
+Toto Ressorp I LOVE your profile pic ^_^ So kawaii _
+Dan Penguin thank you! I quite like yours ^_^
+Toto Ressorp Hehe thanks :D
I love this! Very creative! I wonder if Gaga seen this ...
My teacher showed us this and she said the lady singing was Gaga.
EpicSara101 no this isn't gaga singing. Doesn't even sound like her.
EpicSara101 It's based on a Lady Gaga song but that's it
Probably, she's said before that she enjoys the parodies of her songs on youtube and I'm sure she'd be interested in the subject matter :)
EpicSara101 She's wrong - vocals were by Stephanie Sanders
People that hate this video and think us woman should not have rights. I put a middle finger up to you. This video is amazing, and shows the history of woman suffrage.
Your a meanie.
He ment those who were AGAINST this video.
Fuck life
@@dylanrowland8736 felt
I don’t put a middle finger up. That isn’t kind
Lol ever since history class showed this video , I love itttttt
i like how aroud 4:18 the president is just smilling
"I wanna wear pants."
This is my all time favourite version of this song! Great production values, and a fantastic message.
i like how the guy sings near the end
I don't know why but this brings me to tears every time I hear it :/ Maybe its because I've studied British suffrage and know some of the hardships they've had to endure? :( It was truly horrific...
Makes me realise how easy we have it today compared to back then.
4:15 I get chills every time. This music is good to begin with, but it's awesome when put to lyrics about stuff that matters. I know it's ment to be silly, and it is, but still!
Saw this in Civics class today, and absolutely loved it. It was stuck in my head all throughout the day after that. XD So awesome!
