The Bankruptcy Bill Bankruptcy Song Contest (of which I was one of the sponsors) announced it’s winner in a cute cartoon:
“DEBTS IN WRONG PLACES”
by Judge Alan S. Trust(United States Bankruptcy Judge, Eastern District of New York)
(Bankruptcy Bill Song Contest cartoon image used by Rosenberg Musso & Weiner LLP with the express permission of the creators of Bankruptcy Bill.)
Perhaps one of the best parts of the song, which comments on the geographic disparities of the Means Test, is near the end where it says:
Cause I’ve got debts in wrong places,
where the guidelines don’t reflect the prices,
that I really pay,
to live out each day.
In addition to Judge Trust’s winning submission, there were eight other equally impressive works worth reviewing (and humming to yourself in your head):
1. “AMEND IT MY WAY” by Judge Sheri Bluebond (United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California)
2. CABARET” by Judge Sheri Bluebond (United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California) (Click song title or scroll down the page to see lyrics.)
3. “DON’T CRY FOR ME HOUSEHOLD FINANCE” by Judge Sheri Bluebond (United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California)
4. “DEBTS IN WRONG PLACES” by Judge Alan S. Trust (United States Bankruptcy Judge, Eastern District of New York)
5. “‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FILING” by Mark Sippel, Esq. (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))
6. “PHARAOH OBAMA – LET THE DEBTORS GO” by Mark Sippel, Esq. (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))
7. “THE BANKRUPTCY ABUSE SONG” by Mark Sippel, Esq. (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))
8. “DEBT-FREE GIRL” by Craig Robins, Esq. (Woodbury, NY)
9. “BANKRUPTCY WIFE’S LAMENT” by Arlene Robins (Woodbury, NY)
I would have to say my favorite among the non-winners was perhaps the very clever “Amend It My Way” by Judge Sheri Bluebond in California. Though perhaps my wife might appreciate Arlene Robins’ “Bankruptcy Wife’s Lament.”
Hopefully in reading the lyrics to the various songs, you’ll find not only a little something to laugh about, but also some helpful education and perspectives on bankruptcy law and the bankruptcy process.
