Pop songs and the law: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:41, 27 March 2021

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”.
Call Me — Blondie: Legal concept correctly used: “Alibi”.

Time Is Of The Essence — Michael Brecker: Legal concept correctly used: “Contractual performance standard”.

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