Pop songs and the law

Interesting how country and western songs seem preoccupied with insurance concepts - life insurance, double indemnities and so on.

Pop songs which correctly use legal concepts

• Contract on Love — Stevie Wonder: Legal concept correctly used: “contract”.
  
• Lend Me Your Love — Memphis Slim: Legal concept correctly used: “mortgage”.
  
• Rebel Yell — Billy Idol: Legal concept correctly used: “licence”.
  
• Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours) — Stevie Wonder: Legal concept correctly used: “deed”.
  

Pop songs which mangle legal concepts

• Spank Wagon — Wesley Willis: Legal concept mangled: “equitable”.
  
• Triumph — Wu Tang Clan: Legal concept mangled: “novation”.
  
• Swap It Out — Justin Bieber: Legal concept mangled: “Swap”.
