Much beloved, utterly silly and now slightly dated: Scritti Politti's record, "I'm in love with Jacques Derrida". And thanks to J Christian Guerrero, here's a 782 k soundfile!
Less popular but no less musical: Eric Avery's trio, "Deconstruction" (American Recordings, 1994). Here are two soundfiles (238 k and 281 k, respectively), plus the lyrics and a discussion among the band members about the word Deconstruction.
Yet another gratuitous use of the word: "Decoded and Danced Up - The Rhythms of Deconstruction" (Deconstruction Records/RCA 1992)
Doomed by Deconstructo: "Justice League Europe" 37 (150 k), 38 (160 k) and 39 (150 k), by Gerard Jones, Ron Randall and Randy Elliott (DC Comics, 1992)
Toilet Humour: Steve Bell's cartoons about the Cambridge affair (The Guardian, 1992)

Micaela Henich's collection of 1003 india ink drawings, published under the title "Mille e tre", is accompanied by 5 writer-poet-thinkers who were asked each to write on 200 of the drawings in the series (the last three have no text). They are: Derrida, Dominique Fourcade, Michael Palmer, Tom Raworth, Jacques Roubaud. Derrida's appeared in "Mille e tre, cinq: Lignées" (published by William Blake & Co.)
