Green Day - I Fought The Law Lyrics

Bobby Fuller sounded a lot better!!!

I thought the cops were the criminals

Lock Trump and gop members up!!

Which album was this on?

There such a good singer

オリジナルはバディーホリー
クラッシュのカバーが有名だけど
グリーンデイのカバーもイカしてるぜ！
ストレイキャッツのカバーも良いよね！

prefer this to the original

Yo, this sounds a lot like that one clash song

I fought the law, the law won

Me- I KNEW IT WAS RIGGED

I love this version. It would've been perfect for a compilation album like Shenanigans, but wasn't on it because Shenanigans was released in 2002 while this was recorded in 2004. It's not even a B side on any single.

IT"S NOT ON THOSE MUSIC MACHINES AT THE BOWLING ALLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost this song

Jake from subway surfers can relate to this song

This is a song I can run from the police with lol ('m not in any trouble don't worry. It's just a joke)

Love this cover version!

I fought my principal and my principal won

stfu kid

I fought my mum and my mum won

Anyone who thinks this is the best version of this song has issues.

It’s a mediocre version of The Clash’s take (and almost identical minus the overproduction).

The Bobby Fuller Four, Clash, DK, and even Springsteen’s versions are all leaps and bounds ahead of this one.

Listen to more music, people!

This one goes out as a Long-Distance Dedication to all the guys about to go from the White House to the Big House...

why would anyone listen to this instead of the Clash version, which is better in every way

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my whole life.

great version, well done guys

Great version

When you jump of a bridge with a parachute and escape from the police!

no the law one in this song you don’t escape

@Caleb no he escapes to figure out eh forget all of his identification and credit-cards phone and basically everything

I never knew I needed this!

I prefer the music on the clash but the vocals are better on this

You'd think these derelicts would do the Dead Kennedys version where "I won!" Lol

Dedicated to the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Nope doesn't work for me at all I'll stick with what's proven best
The clash all the way

Im so glad I found this again

Sleeping dogs brought me here

When the cover songs they add there own stuff to these songs . But still keep it the orginal. So there you go.👍

Yes l fouth the law too......pelen perros😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😈

green day was made to cover this song

The harmonies between bille and mike are excellent in this

i personally don’t really like this version. i much better prefer the clash and dead kennedy’s versions.
(sorry for my shitty grammar, this is what happens when you don’t pay attention in class for your whole life)

American dad, Stan and Roger Smith

My buddy and I discussed having this qued up for trips to the jail. Because we're assholes like that.

It is the song that every punk rock band has to cover

St. Vincent

Ive been a fan for years and i never knew this was a thing but we all know lil wayne did it the best😉

My boyfriend thought this was the original version

smh... Bobby Fuller Four's version is the best.

@Tommy That bands version is not original tho

@Tommy crickets!

Cause they are too good

Bobby fuller
Crickets
Stray cats
Clash
Hank Jr
Dead Kennedys
Green day
All bands that done this song

The more the merrier!

The clash and Green Day version are the best

Nothing beats the Bobby Fuller version.

@The Plastic Metalhead Shitposter Bobby Fueller was great. I think he was found dead in his car in1966

The Plastic Metalhead Shitposter Yeah that version is my favorite

Dead Kennedys

Bobby Fuller & Green Day for me

Best version of this song. Absolutely amazing. Props to the clash but this is it man.

Both are great! I think it is the Clash version that appeared in the late great TV series "Motive".

Used to hear this on the radio a lot when I was a young'un. Never realized it was a cover!

and don't forget Buddy Holly and the Crickets

I fought the Law came out in 1966. Buddy Holly was long dead so any versions that are claiming to be by Buddy Holly or the Crickets are fakes

@Master101 "The song was written in 1958 by Sonny Curtis, and recorded in 1959 when he joined the Crickets, taking the place of the late Buddy Holly on guitar." - Wikipedia
The song was released in 1960 by The Crickets. The version from 1966 is the Bobby Fuller Four version, which was a cover.

I've waited my whole life to hear this

play on 1.5 speed

i prefer 1.25

Best version by far

Needs to be faster

I think it perfect

Sleeping dogs?? Anyone??

yeah boi

Green day is undeniably and unarguably the best band of all time and will be for an extremely long time. I dont think there will ever be another band like green day. At least for a really long time.

Best Joke Ever from Bob Farter Congratulations 😂😂😂😂

What a great song.

Hell yeah it is, IMO tho DK's is better, only because they are my favourite band.

Green Day Took It For Me Not The Clash Cause It Was The Version I First Heard Not The Clash One Hop On The Bandwagon If You May

Jajajajaja la version homosexual, no la habia escuchado

Just as nice if not better than the Clash's version.

The Clash did it better for sure. I forget who did the original

The Crickets

Bobby Fuller

brady73087 nah dude bobby covered the crickets

Bobby fuller
The clash
Green day
Dead kennedys
4 bands
The same song
The same great feeling in the music
MAFIA III

So which one was actually the original?

Sleeping Dogs

Ive been obsessed with the things listed

Robocop

The Crickets were the original.

Google fought the law, and the law won.

Wait didn't the clash make I fought the law?

yoshicreativian no Bobby Fuller did. Clash and some others just made covers of it.

@Erica Herring no, the crickets were the first.

Revolution Google.

Nah... where the DKS fans at

Both are great, but you can't forget about The Clash

There’s so many versions of this..

It just shows how the song can stand the test of time nearly 50 years later

River Throat I agree

Yeah but only a few of them are actually good, this one is not

@Giulia The future celebrity actually this one IS good

È meglio l'originale, però fighissima

dead kennedys will always have the best version.

Social Distortion, Green day & the Clash playing this song together.

you're gonna have some trouble getting the clash's singer...

This one is decent, but the best version is the one made by The Clash.

imho Clash improved Bobby Fuller Four's version... which of course is excellent in itself... and i have no qualms with anyone picking the original. for me... if someone's gonna cover a song... they need to do something original... indeed more powerful than the original... for example... Devo vs. Stones "Satisfaction." both are excellent.

i think The Clash did just that... their version is more brutal and raw which gives them the edge for me. Green Day's version is actually more retro... closer to the original... that's not necessarily a bad thing... but... i'd never rank it above the other two.

No, Bobby Fullers Four is the best.

I MISS MY BABY AND I MISS THE SUUUN

I fought a vampire and the vampire won.

Iron Maiden!

People saying this is inferior to The Clash when the truth is that Dead Kennedys did it better than both of them and Bobby Fuller

The Clash did it the best.

Forse più bella dell'originale.

no fidati è meglio l'originale, comunque non è male

The Clash, Green day & Social Distortion. \m/

Ok but the harmonies are good tho

this is my favorite version. I love pop punk, normal punks fine, and I can't stand hardcore anymore.

I way more prefer the clash or bobby fuller but I’ve never really been a fan of green day, also this is kind of random but green day are the shittiest people I have ever met in my entire life, they are all dicks, I have countless stories of me, my friends and people I know..

51 people fought the law and the law won

Superb cover "I fought the law" Green Day

😴😴 horrible lol

Ok what in the absolute hell is Rhythms del Mundo Revival and why is this song on it but it's not even this song it's a 2 and a half minute instrumental that's nothing like this song am I going crazy

Probably

We crossing our fingers for a Dookie 25th anniversary tour in 2019?

All we got was a pedal :(

hella mega

Davekat hella mega!

It just happened in like Spain or something

no, but we got hella mega tour so....

1:21 i fucking love you Tre

You asshole dickbag son of a whore!

Bobby Fuller Four. The original will always have a unique charm to it that places it above all the rest.

4 dudes in a full suit with guitars? ofcourse!

That’s not even the original

Plus it's so much faster

the crickets did the original it came out in 1960 bobby fuller four did it in 64

Sorry for all the Clash fans (its iconic i know) but Green Day kicked their ass with this cover. i always love to hear them... <3 (Fu** its not on Spotify...)

Dark 0Bull Like fuck they did, this is a pale comparison to the superior Clash version.

imho Clash improved Bobby Fuller Four's version... which of course is excellent in itself... and i have no qualms with anyone picking the original. for me... if someone's gonna cover a song... they need to do something original... indeed more powerful than the original... for example...

You Wish 👍

GOD is BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT AND WONDERFUL

Pop punk version sounds little shitter JS

Sounds too Happy for Punk, but still cool

This cover makes me love Billy Joel more than my mom

*Billie Joe

Oh man, I sure do love Billy Joel and his band Green Day, with such classics as Piano Man, We Didn't Start The Fire, and Uptown Girl. Just classic. Amazing. Can't be beat. Wonderful.

*_joel_*

That mistake is killing me. Hilarious.

😂😂😂

Me recuerda aquella vez que pelee con un Policia

NIGHT M.3.R.R igual, nos paro a mi y mis amigos por manejar muy rapido, paso que nos fugamos por que ibamos todos tomados.

why do Green Day sound so autotuned all the time? can they not make real music anymore?

That's where rock music's headed being more pop xd
But they sound incredible live

OMG THEY DID A COVER OF THIS?!?

I thought only this cover, but one of the comments above lists a bunch of versions!

Hi I'm Olivia They first did it live in like 2004 or so.

The Bobby Fuller Four made punk rock before it was cool...

Anyone here first heard this song ( by the Dukes ) in the Australian the movie " Reckless Kelly "? X. )) awesome soundtrack.....Sadly I don't have the Cd anymore :(

Everybody forgets Bobby Fuller

I didn't know green day had covered this and I'm not sure if it's sacrilege or vaguely cool but not better than the clash

the crickets did it better ;)

Good cover
