Loathsome § 2-207: The Musical

From the Department of Contracts Musicology, the first song about the U.C.C.’s most infamous provision that you can actually slow-dance to . . . .

                        § 2-207, I Hate Your Loathsome Way

words by Y. Jack Fan
music by Peter Frampton

[To the tune of Baby, I Love Your Way by Will to Power (1988), Peter Frampton (1975)]

Circles grow so dark beneath my eyes
With UCC there’s no legal gauge.
Suddenly the school closed at midnight
And I’ve not read “conduct” yet,
But don’t hesitate
‘Cause, Hill v. Gateway ain’t straight, oh no no

(Ooh) oh § 2-207, how I hate your loathsome way,
(Ooh) wanna tell you, courts don’t want you to stay,
(Ooh) don’t wanna let merchants get away, but hey yeah
someone’s still gotta pay

If forms don’t match quite narrow
Will a binding contract be?
Else negotiations may drag on now
Here on out to infinity.
But if expressly conditioned,
Things just wouldn’t be the same.
‘Cause it’s a counter-offer now,
And these terms will never change
And these terms will never change

Circles grow so dark beneath my eyes
Was the change material wise?
I wonder how to apply section three
Its not exactly ABC.
But don’t hesitate
‘Cause, Klocek v. Gateway was straight.

(Ooh) oh § 2-207, how I hate your loathsome way (every day),
(Ooh) wanna tell you, courts don’t want you to stay (night or day),
(Ooh) don’t wanna let merchants get away (everyday, everyday), every day now
(Ooh) oh § 2-207, how I hate your loathsome way
(Night and day, night and day, oh oh oh) I hate your loathsome way
(Ooh) oh § 2-207, how I hate your loathsome way (’cause terms may or may not change).

[Repeat]
