Rebel Yell by Billy Idol
(Enjoy the lyrics, at your own risk, here)
A great song from the 1980s from criminally underrated legal philosopher, Elvis impersonator, extra in Oliver Stone’s The Doors movie, and all-round top dude W. S. Idle[1] which wins special recognition from the Jolly Contrarian for its anatomically correct use in the first verse of the legal concept of a limited licence.

She said, come on baby, I got a licence for love
And if it expires, pray help from above — [2]

Rebel Yell also achieves commendation for similarly underrated[3] axeman Steve Stevens’ ray-gun noises in his guitar solo. And hairdo longevity.

Anyway.

A “licence for love” would usually be an exclusive licence, but when it comes to rock stars, and persons with whom they consort and who explicitly tout the availability of their own love to whomsoever should for the time being hold such a “licence” possibly not so much[4].
