Status Quo - I Fought the law

[MarcZERO1980]

The Quo seem to have taken insperation for this from both the Bobby Fuller version and the Clash version which is surprising.

[sjFALCONPUNCH01]

The Clash>This>The Original>every other cover>Green Day

@sjFALCONPUNCH01 The Clash>Dead Kennedys>Green Day>This>every other cover

[mrTimZman]

@NigelDoes you hate status quo?

Dude from which planet are you?

[thebeanteamsnipes]

clash made this song so polegonz its not a cover its the orgional

[vinniechase26]

@thebeanteamsnipes The original was by The Crickets.

[BukurDava]

@vinniechase26 Nope, Bobby Fuller ;)

[vinniechase26]

@BukurDava

Nah, I think Fuller did it in the mid 60's, but one of the crickets wrote it and they had it on one of their albums around the start of the 60's I think. Fuller's cover was pretty good though

[BukurDava]

@vinniechase26 Yep, you're right, my father also told me the same thing. This a very good song you can't sing it bad.

Best regards !

[Shoknifeman]

@vinniechase26 Right, it was done by the Crickets a few months after Buddy Holly's death with Earl Sinks as lead singer; it was written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets who also wrote the theme to the Mary Tyler Moore show

[chrissept21]

big dirty band is the best cover

[polegonz]

The Clash made the best cover of this song

[sparkykid68]

sometimes things are just wrong and this is one . Quo should stick to being Quo, after all they do it so well .

[Magbrandt]

Best version,- long live the quo

[TheChrischi1981]

best version of that song ;)

[waterloo2003]

[eugenecraddock]

the best one is the original one by the crickets and of course the cover by Bobby Fuller Four.

[Arseface87]

[overlookNW237]

[thegrouchboy]

pretty good version but i like the other bether

[theyakkoman]

Good version, not among the best, but it was still good.

[ogdroadsong]

@theyakkoman LOL! Great example of damning by faint praise, think you're right though Quo are great but after the Bobby Fuller version and The Clash version nothing else needs to be said.
