Perhaps burned by mendacious agents and conniving record companies, Mr. Wonder enjoys discussing formalities of legal contracts in his music, and there is no finer example than his R&B standard Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours), which addresses not only exchange traded derivatives but also the formalities of correctly documenting them as obligations under a deed[1].

We got [a] future, future, baby[2]
Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Here I am, baby, whoa-oh
(Signed, sealed, delivered) I’m yours

  1. If that is what you really want to do: let us park for now the uncomfortable fact that one wouldn't normally document ETDs as deeds — that’s a bit of a ninja point and I don't think it’s reasonable to expect a pop star to have that deep a knowledge of the market conventions for ETD. Hardly anyone who works in the industry does, after all.
  2. Not clear what the underlying is, though reference to "Here I am Baby" suggests physical and not simply cash settlement.
