More Frivolity: Moving an Icehouse? No Promises

From the sublime (Joni Mitchell) to the ridiculous.

Mitchill v. Lath is about a collateral oral agreement to remove an icehouse from a neighboring property as part of a real estate transaction.  I make much of the fact that my students probably have no idea what an icehouse is.  I knew there was a band called Icehouse.  Actually, I knew of two bands called Icehouse.  I play short excerpts from each band and invite the students to imagine how annoying it would be to have them on the neighboring property. 

But I didn’t know until now that one of the bands has a song called “No Promises.”  Enjoy, even though it does not seem that the promise at issue in contractual:
