Romance Soundtrack Research 1

This clip is from the 1999 film '10 things I hate about you' this film is of the rom-com genre. The clip includes the main male protagonist singing to the main female protagonist, this is seen as a romantic gesture as he is singing about his love for her. "Can't take my eyes off of you" is a well known romantic song and the lyrics revolve around love therefore this is the reason this song has been included in this scene of the film. I probably won't create a rom-com film but it is interesting to see how the soundtrack ties in with the scene and how whilst the scene is intended to be funny, it is also meant to be romantic and the song helps to achieve this.
