We had it coming/We had it coming/We only have ourselves to blame/We tried to fix it/Instead we nixed it!/We helped Dewey go down in flames.
— Michael McMahan, an associate at Arent Fox, who wrote the lyrics to “Cooperator Tango,” a parody set to the tune of “Cellblock Tango” from Chicago. The number is part of a satirical musical performance, for CLE credit, natch, set to take place at the offices of Debovoise & Plimpton this Wednesday. The show tells the fictionalized tale of Dewey Cheatem and Howe LLP and its merger with Beef, Mutton & Suet P.C., to form Dewey Suet.
