I included all mentions of lawyers or judges and also anything to do with the law in this connection (at least a three parter). I've done gigs with lawyers speaking and these are a couple of the songs I play. Pretty much the top lawyers people know are Perry and Saul, so I am including songs about them. The Bobby Darin talks about the shark in town and most people associate sharks with lawyers. It's not really a fair comparison for the bulk of lawyers, but the stereotype does exist. And yes Jaws will be on one of these volumes. I love the barely associated Fall Out Boy with longest title ever and you don't need to make a defense for including The Fall ever.

ReplyDeleteBut the worst poison I know (Mother -in-Law - Ernie K-Doe)
This is not a band I'd like to promote. In short, they were asked for a John Peel Session, said yes and soon after they got themselves (apparantly) involved in racial riots in Britain.
The 4 Skins - One Law For Them
In the first Oi-punk years they made beautiful and powerful punk.
