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”.
