Another Chicago Parody

Hello and welcome. It's another post in the Un-Zone. I think I might change the blog description to something more interesting. What is already up there is fine, but it seems to lack a certain something. I'm not exactly sure. I think I might change it to "Official Site to all things Un, just without the membership fees of most fan clubs. That and the indoctrination ceremony of most cults." Yeah...

The sunlight is doing minor miracles for my brain. I am more creative. I work much better. In fact, I managed to write another Chicago song parody. The all natural vitamin D is good. It's law school based, but it does not focus on beer. That would have been overkill. Instead, it pokes fun at LexisNexis, quite possibly the greatest online research system ever. Some might consider it Westlaw. I like LexisNexis as for me, it is much easier to use. Ah...nothing like a legal research scism. Fans of the musical will recognize it as "Razzle Dazzle 'Em."

This is becoming quite fun. I particularly don't care if you copy it, spread it around, or burn it, thinking it to be sacrilegious to make fun of Chicago. Hey, at least you are finding enjoyment with the song in some way. That's why I write 'em.

Lexis Nexis 'Em
LAW SCHOOL GUIDE(Spoken)
Hey Ryan, this is John. He's a future student

RYAN(Spoken)
Thank you. Just a moment.
You ready?

JOHN(Spoken)
Hey Ryan, I'm scared. What's law school like?

RYAN(Spoken)
John, you got nothing to worry about.
It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.
These classess- the whole world- all show business.
But kid, you're with an experienced 3L, the brightest!

(Singing)
Breif cases on LexisNexis
LexisNexis 'em
Westlaw is great professionals use it
In every state and in every Circuit
Give 'em the old legal outlines
Brief and motion 'em
How can they fight with papers in their eyes?
What if your research is just lousy?
What if, it does, make you feel drowsy?
Lexis Nexis 'em
You're guaranteed a C!
Give 'em the old Lexis Nexis

RYAN AND 3Ls
Socratic Method is so tedious

RYAN
Rule after rule they'll go beat into us

RYAN AND 3Ls
Spout out the old legal jargon
Lie and bullshit 'em

RYAN
How can they fail you if you know the rules?

RYAN AND 3Ls
Make 'em think that you're a smart thinker
When instead you're a problem drinker,

RYAN
LexisNexis 'em
And you'll party much more!

RYAN AND 3Ls
Give 'em the old high court cases
Give 'em precedent
They like phrases like juris doctorate
But you know, you'll probably forget it
Who really knows jurisdiction
Is it here or there
Can't read the cases, go log on real fast
Your legal knowledge ain't that pretty
You're out of school before four thirty
LexisNexis 'em
And you always go pass!

3Ls(The same time as RYAN's)
Give 'em the old
LexisNexis

RYAN
Breif cases on LexisNexis
LexisNexis 'em
Regurgitate the Restatements right now
Your legal knowledge may be lacking
You can do well although you're slacking
LexisNexis 'em

RYAN AND 3Ls
LexisNexis 'em
LexisNexis 'em
Because research's a bore!
