[edit] Which song was first?
Article is ambigous on which version of the song was released first. --Bensin 02:43, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Accuracy of Detail?
Some of these facts seem a bit off to me. I know there was a Rimes/Yearwood question as to which version would end up in the film, but I do not think that anything happened without Rimes's knowledge. The article makes it sound as if Yearwood and her company acted in some unethical way, whereas in actuality nothing sinister occurred with the release of either version, to my knowledge. If there was a scandal, I'd like to see reliable documentation of it. GassyGuy 03:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reason for the Yearwood recording
As I recall the reports regarding this song; the producers felt that the passion & emotion in Rimes version might be construed as improper for the then 14 year old and subsequently ask Yearwood for a recording. Obviously the public didn't feel the same as the Rimes version far outsold the Yearwood version.
[edit] Acronyms should be avoided
Could someone please give the details of what MCA, the CMAs, and ACM are? I find the end of the article very hard to understand as it is. Thanks, Pruneautalk 23:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

STATEMENT OF FACTS
(To be sung to the tune of LeAnn Rimes, "How Do I Live." & (r) 1997 Curb Records, Inc.)
- LeAnn Rimes
- A very rich and famous star
- Wasn't so rich in times afar
- But what a talent she had!
- Enter Curb n1
- To sign a contract, they hoped
- After her talent they scoped
- They saw the cash in her eyes
- But LeAnn
- Who at twelve was hardly dumb herself
- Wanted to retain her future wealth
- Oh
- If you could have seen
- Baby those attorneys changed everything
- But so many lines!
- They missed one thing.
CHORUS # 1
- Why did you sign, LeAnn Rimes? n2
- So long ago
- Off on that choice of forum? n3
- Your attorneys didn't know?
- They made lots of changes, but one thing survived...
- Forum clause, to that clause, what weight do we give?
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
VERSE # 3
- Many times
- Back and forth from judge to attorney n4
- Both in Texas and in Tennessee n5
- There was so much to review.
- And LeAnn
- With a guardian to oversee n6
- She disavowed her own minority n7
- Oh
- Now she believes
- Her age will invalidate everything n8
- She ever signed
- We must decide
CHORUS # 2
- How do we read the forum clause?
- Binding or no?
- How could she see, at age twelve
- Or truly know
- That the Curb-Rimes relations, would never survive?
- Forum clause, to that clause, how much weight do we give? n9
LEGAL ANALYSIS
(To be sung to the tune of LeAnn Rimes, "I Need You" (r) 2000, Curb Records, Inc.)
- The law ain't clear on lots of things
- Sometimes it tells you nothing
- To their arguments the parties cling
- You never know what motions bring
- But we've got all we need to decide on this venue
- Forum selection clauses, they point us towards the truth
CHORUS # 1:
- That Venue! A clause, clear to all to see
- That Venue! It says "go to Tennessee."
- There's a freedom of contract, that carries on to
- The Venue
VERSE # 2
- State courts never liked these things
- They never found them valid n10
- But revolution the High Court can bring
- Changed that policy -- the High Court did
- They first upheld a forum clause, in admiralty n11
- Then they pushed the holding, to cases in diversity n12
CHORUS # 2
- Then came Shute! n13 Slip- and-fall, while on a cruise
- That darn Shute! Filed in Washington, they lose
- The ticket said "you come to Florida, if you want a suit"
- That darn Shute
VERSE # 3
- Now LeAnn has arguments
- That there's a balancing of interests n14
- That her case has a twisted bent
- That her minor status ends this mess
- But minority can't void this clause before the case is tried n15
- And the Fifth Circuit has spoken, balancing tests won't fly n16
CHORUS # 3
- Through and through! Mitsui n17 Amplicon, n18 Kessmann n19
- Require proof! She's not met the burden.
- While there's freedom as a judge, re-inventing the rule
- I won't do.
CONCLUSION
(Also to be sung to the tune of LeAnn Rimes, "How [**12] Do I Live." & (r) 1997, Curb Records, Inc.
- How Do I
- Deem this forum the right place
- If I were to sit and hear this case
- What kind of judge would I be?
- Although I
- Would love to meet LeAnn Rimes
- It's gonna have to be another time.
- Oh
- This case must now leave n20
- Baby you must take away everything
- Away from my court
- I order now
CHORUS
- This case now lives in Tennessee n21
- Following Ricoh n22
- The Middle District of Tennessee
- Not because I say so.
- 'Cause forum clauses forever, ever survive!
- 'Cause that's the way, that's the way, that's the way the law is. n23
n23 Credit for both the words and the lyrics in this opinion goes entirely to my law clerk, Elizabeth Falk, who is now a devoted LeAnn Rimes fan.
