I Fought the Law


I fought the law is a nice little song. I like the version by The Clash a little bit better. I think the guitar play by The Clash does this song good. But the versions are not so completely different. Bobby Fuller also did a good job with his song.

The Clash really made this song their own.

Hello! The true original of this song is by The Crickets (Buddy Holly's former band) from 1960. Bobby Fuller sounds much like Buddy.
