People Just Ought to Know Better

In Shanghai, we went to the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was, in short, a giant tower and you rode an elevator to the top and snap snap goes the camera...you know, the usual.

Since it was a cloudy day, the most amazing thing there was the entrance plaza. The music being piped in was ridiculously loud.

The song was killing me. I mean literally, on the inside, just like law school.

And I thought about law school b/c the song, despite being a pop love song, was full of the cheesiest legal expressions. I knew I could never do it justice, and I just HAD to remember it, so I took this video. And I just found the lyrics. So, enjoy!
