The song "Tulane" by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts tells the story of two characters named Tulane and Johnny who run a successful novelty shop. However, their lives take a turn when an officer shows up at their shop. Johnny tries to escape but falls, while Tulane manages to get away. Tulane is urged to run as fast as she can because the officer chasing her is not strong enough to catch up. She is instructed to visit her father and ask for a loan since their business is slow. Tulane is also advised to create a chaotic scene by disturbing her father's house and lying to Dr. Keller about swallowing perfume. This creates an alibi to support their plan. Tulane is then told to involve their friend Danny and hide their possessions in a van. She must also visit her father to collect the money for bail, which will be used to get Johnny out of jail. They need a skilled lawyer who can either win the case or manipulate the legal system to their advantage, basing their choice on the lawyer's political connections. In essence, "Tulane" portrays a tale of deception, escape, and the efforts to evade the consequences of their actions.
