Well, since the attorney who drafted the bill was Steve Miller, this should be set to at least one Steve Miller tune.

Shopliftin' Ladies
tune; Rockin' Me Baby

Well I've been working real hard to stop shoplifting at stores
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I gotta do my part to find goods in the cart
With anti-theft tags that have not been disabled

I design hi-tech receptors used as shopping inspectors
That start wailing when you smuggle stuff out
But now shoplifters dare to wear foil-lined underwear
And it's made me start to tear my hair out

Can't catch those shoplifting ladies
Can't catch those shoplifting ladies
Can't catch those shoplifting ladies
Can't catch those shoplifting, shoplifting, lifting,
Baby baby baby it's those shop-
Shoplifting ladies
It's those darn shop-
Shoplifting ladies
Ooooo, ooooo, yeah.

They're down in Phoenix Arizona, and they're up in Tacoma,
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Wearing silver panties that my beams can't see through
So they can shoplift with impunitay

But now a law's been put through up in Coloradoo
That makes wearing metal panties a crime
If there's a crinkle or rustle in your skivvies or bustle
You'll be in the jailhouse doin' hard time

If you're a shoplifting lady
If you're a shoplifting lady
If you're a shoplifting lady
If you're a shoplifting, shoplifting, lifting,
Baby baby baby you're a shop-
Shoplifting lady
If you're a shoplift-
Shoplifting lady
Ooooo, ooooo, yeah.
