IN THE WORDS OF THE SONGWRITER EARL WARREN: Taking Matt's post about song lyrics in legal writing as a jumping-off point, what about the use of legal writing in song lyrics?
I have two, one of which is cheating: (1) Soul Coughing's Soft Serve ("my sister/your words can be held against you in a court of law"); and (2) the greatest of all Schoolhouse Rock tunes, the optimistic and ambitious Preamble to the Constitution, which my band used to play in a medley with "Powderfinger."
I'm sure Toby Keith, or perhaps Rage Against the Machine, must have something that fits the bill. Let's be the ones to undertake the definitive study.
