John Mellencamp Authority Song lyrics

[pankclaw]

I swear at 0:22 it sounds like he's saying Pikachu.

[rolandmartinez100]

just saw him last night in grand rapids, mi. awesome show!

[Xxthe12reaperx]

I would of loved to live during this time, you could do alot more things than you can now because cops are asses now?

[sorcerio]

I always thought he said, "Diane to me don't sound like all that much fun", referring to Diane in his Jack & Diane song.

[TheAgnew3]

I love this song. <3

[SpartandudeChannel1]

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! MY FIRST VIDEO THAT REACHED 10,000 VIEWS!!! THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME! KEEP ADDING COMMENTS! I LOVE READING THEM!

[nadinerocks101]

Check out 'I Fought the Law" by Bobby Fuller on YouTube.

@DesignKoogle/Ubercream - I get you. Good one! Maybe if they watch this video, they'll understand your humor.

[nadinerocks101]

I always thought "Diane, to me, don't sound like all that much fun!!" LOL!

And btw - this song is a modern-day version/takeoff on "I Fought the Law."

[cgarbiano]

I heard this song today and I could NOT figure out the words !

[DesignKoogle]

dannyphantom390,

I don't have it confused - Ubercream does.

[DesignKoogle]

Ubercream:

Where does he say, "I fought the law and the law won."?

[dannyphantom390]

@DesignKoogle ummm...sorry but he never says that line in this song...maybe you have it confused with a different song?

[dannyphantom390]

@DesignKoogle I did a little research and indeed you do have it confused with another song. The song you are thinking of goes by the title 'I Fought the Law' by Bobby Fuller and it was written in the 60's. So it is NOT in John Mellencamp's 'Authority Song'

[DesignKoogle]

@dannyphantom390

Yes, I have been aware of that all along.

Please look at the post from "Ubercream" from 4 months ago.

Ubercream (not me) states, "I like the part when he says, "I fought the law and the law won."

My question was to Ubercream concerning their comment. That is why I addressed my comment to "Ubercream."

Ubercream started this line of inquiry, not I.

Yes, I know, Melencamp does not say those words in this song.

[dannyphantom390]

@DesignKoogle well i am sorry i did not mean to direct anything to you. Ubercream, first of all what kind of a name is that but second, he was the one who had the songs mixed up, not you. I didnt mean to offend you in anyway and thanks for supporting me and my video!

[PalvoChekov]

@dannyphantom390 Exactly. The Dead Kennedys covered it in the 80's. Bobby Fuller WAs the original. :)

[Isbadd]

I changed one word, and sing this song everyday. Change fight to am. Try it!

[ubercream]

I like the part when he says, "I fought the law and the law won.:

[pablito6951]
