That's a pretty cavalier attitude considering you aren't the one that would be
dragged into court.

Although, if it was me, I'd leave it up, too.  "It's easier to ask forgiveness

Besides, if jibjab can get away with their "This Land" spoof and all the

I don't think this one will raise an eyebrow. IANAL...

I listened to both version but didn't read much of the thread.  I thought it
was _meant_ to be based on the song from the wedding singer.

Yeah, but that's just a spin on McCartney's "Silly Love Songs" ;)
