Friday music theme - 2 songs that are complete opposites on 18:46 - Aug 11 by DJR
"There ain't no sanity clause"; one of the best song titles ever.
I'd forgotten this but the title comes from the Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera, where Groucho plays Driftwood and Chico plays Fiorello.
Driftwood: Now just eh...(hands Fiorello a pen) Put your name right down there and then the deal is eh...Then the deal is legal.
Fiorello: Eh, I forgot to tell you. I can't write.
Driftwood: (shaking the pen) Well that's okay, there's no ink in the pen anyhow. But listen, it's a contract, isn't it?
Fiorello: Oh sure. You bet.
Driftwood: We've got a contract, no matter how small it is!
Fiorello: Hey wait, wait! What does this say here? This thing here?
Driftwood: Oh that. Oh that's the usual clause...that's in every contract. That just says...eh...it says...eh..."If any of the parties participating in this contract are shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know...
Driftwood: It's alright, that's in every contract! That's what they call a "sanity clause."
Fiorello: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...you can't fool me. There ain't no sanity clause!

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
