[facnypantsman23]

*Waves hands crazily* I'm pretty sure everybody did a cover of I Fought The Law. So, erm... Shut up.

-Peace-

[NazRabi]

Dogs bollocks version.

[themrgreendayman]

@NazRabi this is the fucking original you fuckhead

[NazRabi]

@themrgreendayman

You fucking ape moron. This is a cover of a Bobby Fuller original. Find another brain cell and rub it with the one you got and you might get a spark. Now fuck off you trog.

[IPlayTehGtar]

@NazRabi Dont go thinking you're smart for pointing out, to whom is most lightly a 12 year old child, that this song is a cover because a bet you listen to 10 songs a day that you dont know are covers. Dont think you're better than anyone else cps' you sussed one out

[PatolaLoko]

Why the fuck you guys are talking about green day anyway? This is Clash's version, Green day just did another cover from the same music.

But please, don't go around screaming that Green day is punk, you're embarassing yourself

[CarloZzToVaR]

I left my baby and it feels so bad, guess my race is run. She's the best girl that I ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the...

[BronzeTurd]

British Punk fucking rocks!

[CarlosCoy135]

Holy shit this videos got over 90,000 views. They are even putting commercials on it now. Sorry about that, I had nothing to do with it. I HATE COMMERCIALS BEFORE YOUTUBE VIDEOS!!!

Thanks for the views everybody.

[LocalHippie420]

@CarlosCoy135 |Carlos Coy? As in South Park Mexican? If so I never thought id seea SPM fan on a clash vid haha. Not a fan of rap myself but props man.

[CarlosCoy135]

@LocalHippie420 Actually this was my best friends account he fucking loved SPM but honestly I listen to him too.

[nguyenvu97]

Real Punk Rock is here !

[1337justME]

Really good song ;)

[garekvh]

law one

[AntonsCinemasPr]

breakin the rocks in the hot sun...

[doylie45]

Some Scouse vernacular

Bollocks = crap "he´s talking bollocks"

the Bollocks = brilliant "this is the bollocks" (short for)

The dogs bollocks = fuckin brilliant!

[KedViper]

@doylie45 Kinda like how we Americans use the word shit such as

shit = crap "this is shit"

the shit = awesome "this song's the shit"

?

[cameron7tam]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[smurfboywv77]

Copied this from bobby fuller four, don't like this version.

[viking977]

@smurfboywv77 its called a cover, and the artist needs permission from the original one. not copied.

[CarlosCoy135]

@smurfboywv77 Then why dont you go eat shit if you dont like this version? Why did you click on a song you dont like you fucking genius?

[CarlosCoy135]

But hey all you fucking retards out there, quit flagging peoples posts as spam just because you dont like what they have to say. Just call them fucking idiots like I do.

[agostinijoerg]

@smurfboywv77 wrong, the original is from Sonny Curtis and the Crickets.

[bigmarty11288]

@agostinijoerg Wasn't Buddy holly in that band too?

[MisFire45]

@bigmarty11288 Buddy Holly was with The Crickets. After Buddy died, Sunny Curtis (one of Buddy's old friends from Lubbock) became the lead singer for The Crickets and then wrote I Fought The Law. Later (in the 60s) Bobby Fuller (who was inspired by Buddy Holly) did a very popular cover of I Fought The Law. After that many other versions of this song came out, like: The Clash. Green Day. Dead Kennedy's. etc.

[bigmarty11288]

@MisFire45 Okay, thanks. I'll have to start listening to them more.

[MisFire45]

@bigmarty11288 No problem, glad to inform information! ;)

[Robbingwithasixgun]

Love this song!!

[kevin950523moviesHD]

@ArtisDaSpoonman They're coming....

[teebeartheunicorn]

is it me... or are they all completely amazingly smexy???.... hmmmm <3

[MsRandomperson1]

although i believe green days cover was good everyone shouldnt be arguing over green day. this vid is about the clash so this is the vid we should be commenting on

[GDBJAfan]

@MsRandomperson1

Agree ,, Green Day's version is good 2 ..

[smiwytube]

This song is flippin sweet, and I just figured out this is a cover of the crickets song!

[peeaches]

I also fought the law, and the bastards bet me to!

[PunkRockFreak09]

This is real fucking music...not over-processed shit.

[littlelynuhh]

Green Day doo it better =D

[TumisHumis]

@littlelynuhh Green Day is an anti-american cover band. 

[littlelynuhh]

@TumisHumis so...?

[TumisHumis]

@littlelynuhh Every cover band in the history of history has sucked balls.

[jackal11394]

@TumisHumis yuh, too bad the original is a bobby fuller song and the clash covered this song, which means it sucks balls. oh well

[NHLfan96]

i came here cuz the song played on that 70s show :D

[crazystairs712]

Leave it to The Clash to bring real rock n roll to this world.

[heatherzhy]

it's on my shirt as well! yay

[oscarstones]

ESTA VERSION DE THE CLASH ES LA MEJOR KE HAY DE ESTA CANCION !!!!!!

[stoprejectingmynames]

I find it hard to believe Joe Strummer lost the damn law...

[1mizzmizzsarah1]

I Fought The Law And The Law Won, I Fought The Law And The Law Won!

[AriProAna]

This is the by far my favourite cover but they can't compare to Buddy Holly's version.

[ItachiAce]

Great song. Classic, never gets old.

I don't think people should hate on Green Day for covering it though. How is honouring a classic and influential song by spinning your own twist on it a negative thing?

[forestfenn1]

Cracking Tune

[GreendayfionaxD]

OMFG. Fuck the people who hate Green Day for covering this. It's just like we all do. Play songs of our favourite bands. It's not like they were breaking the fucking law. I do prefer The Clashes Version, still no need to slag off Green Day. Stfu

[archerjen09]

@GreendayfionaxD

hey.. i think we just need to understand that idiots do exist..

maybe they're thinkin if someone made a cover of a song it will ruin out the original..

[thedadam1]

@GreendayfionaxD if it means anything now, i like the greenday cover way better than this version

[Shenanigans07]

@thedadam1 That's because your deaf.

Billie Joe's whiney voice has damaged your voice.

no, no, I like Green Day... but to say that they did anything better than the Clash is total fucking blasphemy. Clean your ears.

[greendayforever]

@Shenanigans07 whiney?? thats the new green day dude xD thats bjs new way to sing. he sounded different only 5 years ago.

[Shenanigans07]

@greendayforever Billie has always sounded whiney.

Sounds whiney when he speaks too.

Love Green Day though. But anyone who says Billie Joe is a better singer than Joe Strummer, is a complete moron. Same goes to anyone who says Green Day are a better band... these people need to be disposed of.

without the Clash Green Day wouldn't be the band they are...

[greendayforever]

@Shenanigans07 hes not the best singer ever, and green days not the best band ever. sometimes he sounds kinda whiney, but its not that bad. their music is good anyway?? i dont know... actually i dont care. im just a biiig fan xD

[Shenanigans07]

@greendayforever Well, me too. Green Day are one of my favourite bands, just before the Clash

[greendayforever]

@Shenanigans07 nice ;) I respect that. :)

[littlelynuhh]

@Shenanigans07 Stfu about Green Day.. Omg.

[Shenanigans07]

@littlelynuhh You just mentioned them? So you shut the fuck about Green Day? 'omg'.

But then, the fact you said Green Day do this song better than the clash, makes you a moron. Your opinion on anything is now void.

[littlelynuhh]

@Shenanigans07 HAHA die.

[Shenanigans07]

@littlelynuhh Wow.... you're a retard, aren't you? xD

There's about as much use from you as there is a dead sperm cell.

[vanilinstapic]

THIS IS THE PURE MUSIC......FOREVER....

[vanilinstapic]

THIS IS THE PURE MUSIC......FOREVER....

[Alex9Twilight]

I think Billie Joe sing it better

[xeoriffic]

@Alex9Twilight u r probably  146 years old, leave this to the old school son

[Shocuda]

Fuck Green Day, Fuck hits. Dead Kennedys' version is so much better.

[HalfDeadFatGuy0]

pure rock and roll rite here. green days cover isnt bad either

[pastranoNickolus]

i like green days version better.

[pigeonhammer]

fuck greenday for covering this

[mafia101011]

i love the clash they are not like sex pistols who has like only 3-4 super hits

[TalarisEveningstar]

Always like how Strummer presented an image of being the poverty stricken working class lad done well, when in fact he was a public school educated diplomat's son.

[1954JagXK140]

The greatest BAND ever & that's all THAT MATTERS

[Emrys141]

This is quite catchy

[1559godhead]

this is the bollocks, real rock´n´roll

[KillSwitch2]

@1559godhead

If it were "the bollocks" then you'd mean it was bad, moron.

[CarlosCoy135]

@KillSwitch2

"bollocks" means bad

"the bollocks" means good

you moron

[Schnizelbee]

@KillSwitch2 its like saying this is "the sh*t" and not saying this is "sh*t"

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@KillSwitch2 If it's saying "this is the bollocks" it's like saying this is the shit retard.

[AbelLynch]

@Mr11MUSICMAN Actually bollocks = balls. As in, this shit be awesome. It's a British thing.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@AbelLynch I know it means balls but saying this is the bollocks is like saying this is the shit.

[1559godhead]

@KillSwitch2 No, I wouldn´t , you ignorant cunt. Bollocks is Irish and British vernacular for the best, you cretin.
