Wikipedia:
Lawyers, Guns and Money lent its title to a tongue-in-cheek radio program on the Melbourne community radio station 3RRR that looked at the legal fraternity in the city. The program started in 1985 and ran for several years hosted by the pseudonymous duo “Donoghue & Stevenson”, being Dennis Connell and Ross Stevenson. The song was used as both intro and exit music for the program.
The program was later picked up by commercial radio station 3AW, which broadened its content scope and added Dean Banks as anchor.

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too
