Bobby Fuller I fought the law

[albusal]

great song but theres no bass or any reason why that amount of instruments were used in this number

[AlbertR713]

Wow, it's so mellow compared to the clash or green day.

[ibidem80]

hmm... look at bobby fuller then look at a picture of major league pitcher zach duke. good resemblance.

[ChrisYonts]

Why did the FBI kill him again?

[diecastcarcollecter]

@ChrisYonts They didn't he was found dead in his car his death was ruled a suicide or accident by the medical examiner, however some people believe he was murdered by Charles Manson. There has been a lot of theories on his death but the FBI was never involved.

[ChrisYonts]

Crap haircuts, but they sound great!

[Bravo5656]

@ChrisYonts Dude It was the 60's -_____-

[Wayniemouse1]

This is the best version

[hahafuckyoubieber]

@Wayniemouse1 and the original



[athull08]

@hahafuckyoubieber This is not the orignal, that was by The Crickets.

But yes, this is the version most covers are based on.

[Wayniemouse1]

Who ever fights the law is very evil

[mcq413]

27 people beat the law. LOL

[264ACE]

I heard multiple version I think Green Day did the best one.

[tataso]

the cover of the clash is better hahah

[matt47forTED]

@tataso ok nice attempt at trolling, i like every version of this song just about cause it rocks so much, but this is def the best version, come on. plus the fact that he was maybe killed by the police adds a little coolness to the song

[epaadam]

27 people didnt fought the law

[elliotburing87]

my mom hasn't wanted to hear this in over 20 years.. it was one of her brothers favorite songs of all time... he died of epilepsy before i could meet him.. i found a cd of the best of the 60's and 70's she had.... and while she was at work i would play it over and over.. my mom doesn't even know i like this song... i know all the words.. and every time i hear it i think of my uncle.. I'll let her know someday.. but for now.... its better i don't tell her

[mylittlepiranafish]

[Gfigueroa677]

[sixnightsaweek]

[Khultan]

@AgentsAnonymous I can go with that.

[Wayniemouse1]

@AgentsAnonymous He must be the devil

[Falcon4761]

[Wayniemouse1]

[archaznable30]

thumbs up if Battlefield VIetnam brought you here because you were curious on I fought the law OST ... :D

[horsey05]

@archaznable30 The original Battlefield Vietnam from 2003 was the best.

[doodsalot270]

@archaznable30 i still have BF Vietnam :D!!!!

[yankmarine]

[LLLLLmartin]

[Falcon4761]

[MrJamjam87]

[mrk0per]

[TishaAldama526]

[THcBR]

[ShiftbabyShift]

I have never seen this version!

[guido1365]

girls in cages? sexist

[melaney30]

@guido1365 girls in cages? kinky.

[Darruus]

@eskimocheese the sex pistols did not write this song. It was written by Sonny Curtis and then covered by the Bobby Fuller Four.

The Clash recorded a version of it as well and it rocked. This one is great too though.

[88MSeba]

NO sabia creia q era de the CLASH!!

[randolfskichuckle]

In CARE OF TRACKS! Here ya go COOP! Much Respect Randyman

[iw32]

[tehpwnisher1337]

BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM BROUGHT ME HERE

HELL YEAH I REMEMBER

[Jordan3445]

i heard an alien sing this one time......

[shanehenning26]

great song

[83petro]

who sang the rock version? the version the clash did is crap! the other one im talkn about

[carlafierro7]

that's funny .. they don't look like the CLASH! hmm ha ha

[Freyja1133]

What are the guitar chords for this song?

Every time that I play this song on the guitar..I always play the  wrong chords

[ElephantDrunk]

this should be the opening song for the show "Cops"

[SlashManEXE]

Wishing a happy birthday to a talented singer/guitarist who's time came too soon... Never forget.

[pghjan1]

@SlashManEXE

They never prosecuted anyone for his murder....What a shame.

[Freyja1133]

@pghjan1 that's because he may not have been murdered ... it may have been heat stroke

[pghjan1]

@Freyja1133

I never heard that.....maybe.

[Freyja1133]

@pghjan1 the police report ( on that day) stated that It was 95 degrees on that July day

Usually when someone is susceptible to heat eaxhuastion,or sunstroke the body they ( the police) will find would be dehydrated.... tone of the symptopms of sunstroke is a dangerously high body temperature( I have no idea of this..since ,I'm highly susceotible to heat echuastion) ,Dizzyness etc

So i think that Bobby Fuller died of natural causes,and wasn't murdered

[theAndypu1]

Quien trunco a tan brillante compositor con esa voz tan buena, Bobby fuiste el más grande.

[flyfingers81]

I believe Bobby Fuller WAS murdered. What a shame. He could have gone on to an unbelievable career. Dude wasn't even thirty yet.

[bpb9peppi]

it´s a fantastic song, I like this original version, but also Clash´

[athull08]

@bpb9peppi This isn't the original, that was by The Crickets in 1959.

[Johnnygentle1]

This version is harder than the Clash version imo. Listen to that soul in his voice during the bridge.

[cannedheat13]

this version is nice but I prefer the clash's one

[someguy131415]

Best version ever

[TheNutReaper]

The Clash version is better.

[AdmiralCSN]

@TheNutReaper  In your dreams!

[zweirver]

welcome to the new order!

[sic82]

nah the guitar is way better in this version

[victorwebsterfan]

Thanks for sharing Jimmy,great song,band and playing,have a great day,peace and love to you :) *****

[FlavioPoliti]

Solta a Doida.

[TheMaureennm]

I like Dead Kennedy's version of this, too. Very very different, but a good song is a good song.

[MrQuoteMan]

Didn't the Crickets write this though? I always thought Bobby Fuller basically adopted it and made it better.

[athull08]

@MrQuoteMan yes, it was written by Sonny Curtis.

[iamabigfatbutt]

0:31 Is that Long John Baldry?

[SullivanDale88]

well uk rules

[sofi291]

Wait..........You misunderstand me, i just wanted to say that you shouldn't call shit other covers of this song just because they aren't equal to the original, and i meant your opinion in general....................I love the cover of the Clash and i don't think at all is shit...

[dj4muse]

Forgive my recollection of time. It was late in '65 or in early '66, whenever, it was great! Bobby Fuller was definitely there! A lot of time has passed, but the tune goes on dj4muse

[dj4muse]

Bobby Fuller Four played a gig at North Hollywood High School, The Leaves were also on the bill, it was 1967 or 1968... Great stuff!! The price was a book of Blue Chip Stamps, which I'm sure a lot of younger people do not remember, anyway I loved it then and love it now. Thanks dj4muse

[athull08]

@dj4muse those dates can't be right - he was murdered in 1966, unless it was a gig by The Bobby Fuller Four without Bobby Fuller.

[SleepyDroid]

This is the best version of this song and I'm young :D

[Alkoholizm]

@SleepyDroid

This is the best version of this song and I'm a hamster :D

[SleepyDroid]

@Alkoholizm Good to know :P

[TheJonnyEnglish]

Best version. Every cover of this song is shit.

[sofi291]

@TheJonnyEnglish

Make something like the clash version and than write your opinion..................

[TheJonnyEnglish]

@sofi291 So.. you want me to make a song like the clash, and then write my opinion.. about my own song? Are you fucking retarded?

[StarKnightGoku]

@TheJonnyEnglish Especially The Clash

[HITHEREFOLKS]

@TheJonnyEnglish is this the original one i suppose ? i heard the go getters, do it, after Bobby Fuller, it's probably the best cover version.

[athull08]

@HITHEREFOLKS The original was by The Crickets in 1959, written by Sonny Curtis.

[HITHEREFOLKS]

@athull08 thanks for the information, i heard the crickets do it, that buddy holly sound they have , maybe they were his band ?

[athull08]

@HITHEREFOLKS they wrote it soon after his death. It was one of the first songs by the post-Buddy Holly Crickets.

[HITHEREFOLKS]

@athull08 i hear that Bobby Fuller was also killed ?

[athull08]

@HITHEREFOLKS yes indeed, he was murdered. But the police investigation was completely botched, and the killers were never caught.

How ironic, just after he'd released a song about fighting the law.

[TheJonnyEnglish]

@athull08 That one is really good too. I just love bobby fuller's cover.

[MichaelD8393]

@TheJonnyEnglish the original is always the best.

[Triforceization]

@TheJonnyEnglish Green Day is better

[TheJonnyEnglish]

@Triforceization I love my green day, but still gotta go with bobby fuller

[daninet92]

@TheJonnyEnglish the clash is good;)

[kildare97]

@TheJonnyEnglish This was a cover.

And the clash fucking tore it up

[eskimocheese]

@TheJonnyEnglish this is a cover of this song. the sex pistols wrote this. But yeah this version's good :)

[athull08]

@eskimocheese It was written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets. Nothing to do with the sex pistols.

[edwardsweeney24]

@TheJonnyEnglish The Clash ?

[KaminoNeko]

@TheJonnyEnglish You realize this *is* a cover, yes? The original artist was Sonny Curtis.

[lulutalkingdolphin]

@TheJonnyEnglish But this is a cover...

[sirdan180]

@TheJonnyEnglish apart form the clash, sir. apart from the clash.

[whitedwarf13]

@TheJonnyEnglish Not true.

[TheJonnyEnglish]

@whitedwarf13 lol k

[oldermusiclover]

miss Bobby wonder what he would have sounded like if someone

hadn't killed him

[zweirver]

funeral song

[reneee1992]

im 18 and i just ate a small portion of potatoe chips

[MasacruRo]

@reneee1992 I'm proud.

[BroodGrafix]

im 18 and was born in the wrong decade! :(

[DennisGuerrerio]

Bobby was a Buddy Holly disciple. It's a shame he was taken away so young. Very sad.

[chardav58]

sweet

[maryparsley]

RIP BOBBY FULLER



[mattymath1]

It took a lot more talent to rock in a suit and tie than to rock with long, unwashed hair and tattoos.

[PufferBluntman]

That chick in the beginning - I f*ckin love her dancing. Who is she? Why is she dancing like she has a seizure? Nothing of this really matters because what she's doing is cool and I don't give a dam.

[gdav89]

@kokopilko umm then why did you red my comment? I was talking only for one person, and it was the one it is on that comment. So if u dont like it, take it easy! I wasnt talking to u ;)

[tulud]

a young george bush...

[danpfd]

great video! I love the girl dancing in the cage, er I mean the jail!

[PufferBluntman]

Was that before "Jailhouse Rrock" or after?

[rivergeek]

@PufferBluntman - Jail House Rock (the movie) was released in 1957. The Crickets (after Buddy Holly died) released the original "I Fought the Law" in 1959, written by Cricket Sonny Curtis. Bobby Fuller Four covered it in 1966 and Bobby Fuller died shortly thereafter (suicide or murder?)

[hellcatBMX468]

stray cats better. rockabilly better, but original is good too.

[notsuretwo]

Not all 50's 60's music was good, but this is a classic. Who could not like this song?

[Shakesbier]

the good old battlefield vietnam :D

[HappyClappyCanuck]

@Shakesbier  are you talking about the game ?? thats where I learned this song and I use to play it all the time when ever in a vehicle :)

[Shakesbier]

@HappyClappyCanuck yeah i mean this game. i loved to play this game while playing this song in the background :)

[HappyClappyCanuck]

@Shakesbier

[therevrend1951]

I dedicate this song to the Doughtery Gang. They will have fun singing this in prison.

[beemoth973]

And i love the clash

[beemoth973]

I do think tris is the best Classic rock song ever! So perfect and clear, much better than the clash's cover

[athull08]

@beemoth973 this version is also a cover, of course, but it;s much better than the original.

[Shoknifeman]

@athull08 yes....and no

[athull08]

@Shoknifeman pardon?

[Shoknifeman]

@athull08 I think I was saying , yes the Crickets did it first and no, this isn't the best version (The Crickets version is)
