Music for law students
Listening to my iPod in the brief gap between some Con Law reading and a Business Associations meeting, I heard The Jam's "'A' Bomb on Wardour Street" and I thought I could probably enliven by Biz Ass studying and memorize some tricky hostile takeover rules by rewriting it as "Revlon Rules on Wall Street," a reference to Revlon v. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings on selective dealing and fiduciary duties. But I get the feeling that not many people have heard that particular song or take that particular class. Besides, I'm not completely clear on Revlon duties anyway. Maybe later...
Instead, inspired by Cella, I wrote a song about Con Law, the other main bane of my existence at the moment:
Such Great Rights
(To the tune of "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service)
I’m
thinking it's divine
that the Griswold court did find
that we could buy the pill and when
We screw we’ll have some piece of mind
And they
Cannot regulate
The embryos we make
Unless they show lack of burden
Like Casey, waiting for a day
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Penumberas we will fetch
In terms of sex
And reproduction using substantive process
When you
are out there on the road
pulled over, you are loaded when they
cuff you, they will read your rights or else you can go home
(Chorus)
These days we can exercise such great rights,
'culture wars,' they'll say
But everything looks better than Lochner’s day,
Poor Filburn, he must pay...
I hope the court could stay
the same as Thurgood’s day.
But these appointments freak me out we could be trying witches
That frankly cannot fly.
The fundies they will come after our porno
When they get tired of spying on the liberals.
(Chorus)

Looks like someone may be forcibly recruited for the law school musical writing committee!
