Law Songs in the Classroom

As the Series Editor of Foundation Press's Law Stories series of books, I was struck by the potential for a new genre of law student supplemental resource -- Law Songs -- after listening to today's NPR piece, Singing Law Professor Rocks the Classroom, by Tovia Smith:

It's not hard to imagine how "Contracts" can be one of the most tedious, dry and dreaded classes that first-year law students have to take. But one professor at Boston University School of Law has gone so far to keep class entertaining, that he is known on campus as the professor who rocks — literally!

For nearly 20 years, Professor Mark Pettit has been spicing up his classes by singing legal spoofs of Top 40 hits, from Michael Jackson's "Beat it" (Pettit sings "Breach it") to Brittany Spears. (Think: "You're not that innocent!")

Check out Professor Pettit's contracts songs here.  I have previously blogged some great tax songs:

• The Gross Income Song
• IRS Theme Song
• It's My Money
• The Mellon Ditty
• Sales Tax
• Tainted Stock
• The Tax Man
• Taxes Are Best When You Pay Nothing At All

Cf. One Ball; Tax and Colonoscopies.

Update:  The WSJ Law Blog has more in The Minstrel of BU Law School, by Ashby Jones.
