"Somebody's Baby" Rule

The requirement that a couple make love any time they hear Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby" from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This rule has been around since approximately Christmas of 1982.

A wife is in the kitchen making crispy onion chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner when "Somebody's Baby" comes on the radio. She should immediately look at her husband and say, "By virtue of the "Somebody's Baby" Rule, we shall make love tonight." And the lovemaking shall commence that night after the kids go to bed.
