Ever wanted to hear your guilty pleasure song performed in the most dramatic way? Well now's your chance.
#15SecondShakespeare - the latest trend to hit social media - sees Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill and Ben Barnes performing their favourite bad pop song with a Shakesperian twist to raise money for Red Cross.
Much like 2014's Ice Bucket Challenge, participants are nominated to take part - and the results are downright hilarious.
Arthur Darvill - Black or White
