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

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
