The Bankruptcy Bill Bankruptcy Song Contest<\/strong><\/a> (of which I was one of the sponsors) announced it’s winner in a cute cartoon:<\/p>\n

\u201cDEBTS IN WRONG PLACES\u201d<\/a>
\nby Judge Alan S. Trust<\/strong>(United States Bankruptcy Judge, Eastern District of New York)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Bankruptcy Bill Song Contest cartoon image used by Rosenberg Musso & Weiner LLP <\/a>with the express permission of the creators of Bankruptcy Bill<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the best parts of the song, which comments on the geographic disparities of the Means Test<\/strong><\/a>, is near the end where it says:<\/p>\n

Cause I\u2019ve got debts in wrong places,
\nwhere the guidelines don\u2019t reflect the prices,
\nthat I really pay,
\nto live out each day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to Judge Trust’s winning submission, there were eight other equally impressive works worth reviewing (and humming to yourself in your head):<\/p>\n

1.  \u201cAMEND IT MY WAY\u201d<\/a> by Judge Sheri Bluebond <\/strong>(United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California<\/a>)<\/p>\n

2.  CABARET\u201d<\/a> by Judge Sheri Bluebond <\/strong>(United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California<\/a>) (Click song title or scroll down the page to see lyrics.)<\/em><\/p>\n

3.  \u201cDON\u2019T CRY FOR ME HOUSEHOLD FINANCE\u201d<\/a> by Judge Sheri Bluebond <\/strong>(United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California<\/a>)<\/p>\n

4.  \u201cDEBTS IN WRONG PLACES\u201d<\/a> by Judge Alan S. Trust <\/strong>(United States Bankruptcy Judge, Eastern District of New York)<\/p>\n

5.  \u201c\u2018TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FILING\u201d<\/a> by <\/strong>Mark Sippel, Esq.<\/a><\/strong> (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))<\/p>\n

6.  \u201cPHARAOH OBAMA \u2013 LET THE DEBTORS GO\u201d<\/a> by <\/strong>Mark Sippel, Esq.<\/a><\/strong> (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))<\/p>\n

7.  \u201cTHE BANKRUPTCY ABUSE SONG\u201d<\/a> by<\/strong> Mark Sippel, Esq.<\/a><\/strong> (Sippel & Carroll PLLC (Kingman, AZ))<\/p>\n

8.  \u201cDEBT-FREE GIRL\u201d<\/a> by Craig Robins, Esq.<\/a> <\/strong>(Woodbury, NY)<\/p>\n

9.  \u201cBANKRUPTCY WIFE\u2019S LAMENT\u201d<\/a> by Arlene Robins<\/strong> (Woodbury, NY)<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s no laughing matter if you’re facing financial problems or contemplating filing for bankruptcy in New York.  If you need Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy help in New York, please contact me<\/a> for a free initial consultation<\/strong>.  I\u2019ll be happy to share the benefit of my 30 years of New York business bankruptcy experience to help you get the full protection of the bankruptcy laws so you won’t need to sing the blues.<\/p>\n
