Contract on Love by Stevie Wonder
|
Relatively straightforward and uncontroversial use of legal concepts by Mr. Wonder, who elsewhere has musically ruminated on the formalities of executing deeds in Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).
Here Mr. Wonder addresses the formal ingredients of a binding legal agreement.
“You've got to sign/My contract on love,” he sings. “Write it in your heart/That you'll never do anything/To ever make us part.”
Clearly, the formalities of evidencing a consensus ad idem are important to Mr. Wonder, as they should be to all of us. They were at the forefront of his mind in Signed, Sealed, Delivered, of course. Here, he finally implores his contractual counterparty of love to: “Sign it. Sign it. Sign it. Sign it.”
This does sound rather like the JC’s own Confidentiality Agreement - Rock ’n’ Roll Style — ironic isn't it —but be assured the intellectual property in our song was developed entirely in ignorance of Mr. Wonder’s song, which we only found by googling this afternoon — amazing how bored you get on an all-hands conference call isn’t it. It really just goes to show how authentically rock ’n’ roll our confi song really is.
