how the fuck could you mistake the kennedy's for the pistols... there is a CLEAR difference between the sound and the voices. not to mention they both have very distinctive sounds
Esta versão é um cover dos dead kennedys de uma musica dos Crickets de 1959. Aliás a história desta letra é muito interessante. Vejam como o jello biafra altera de forma inteligente o refrão. Bom punk!
@BilloShadyAftermat yeah I know the Kennedys didn't ORIGINALLY do the song..It was the bobby fuller four ..then the clash covered it..then the kennedys..which I'm pretty sure is this version!..and as a bit of trivia you'll never guess who played drums on the original recording ???..give up?..BARRY WHITE!!...the walrus of love!! fact!
1, this is the dead kennedys, how could any fucker mess that up. johnny has a one of a kind voice. 2, johnny hates both bands that your name has in it. just sayin.
@HendrikChump No...the Clash covered "I fought the law" but they definitely didn't write it nor does this cover have anything to do with the Clash. This is DK's cover of a Sonny Curtis song.
You guys! It's not even a Bobby FULLER FOUR ORIGINAL! . It's a Sony Curtis tune but nevertheless it is rightly attributed to the Clash because they made it their own as they have done with many other songs they covered through the years!
Guys, I can't beleive that you don´t know this song, I fought the law, was originally written by The Clash, but this version, with modified lyrics, was written by 'Dead Kennedys', it is included in "Give me Convenience or Give me Dead" album.
okay, first, IF YOU'RE GONNA WATCH A PUNK VIDEO, DON'T TELL US TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WE ALL HATE!!!!!!!! It's like telling a punk band to sellout! limewire is cool just cuz its like rippin off the music industry.
You are right - this is the Dead Kennedys version. Notice Jello Biafra changed the lyrics. The original is 'I fought the law and the law one'. Jello sings ' I fought the law and I won' It is , I believe, a reference to the time when the Tipper Gore brigade in America were doing everything possible to get Jello Biafra banned in any way possible. The establishment hate an anarchist with a brain, and Biafra was a real threat. Jello Biafra is an absolute hero - just check out 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off'
Sorry, but the DK song is about the Dan White's murder of George Moscone and Harvey Milk, from the murderers pov. They even mention the Twinkie defence that got him freed. It's a sarcastic song, like California über Alles.
wtf? green day version is not the worst. none of the versions are bad or "worse" than any other. where's the sex pistols version? this doesn't sound like them and it IS under the dead kennedys too so i'm guessing this isn't it
ramones are my favourite, but im just sayin they're a differant kind of punk ... where as sex pistols and clash are way "snottier" the ramones are more radio-friendly and stuff
This is dead kennedys The sex pistols and dead kennedys version are "i fought the law and i won" While the ramones and the clash's are "i fought the law and the law won" but its still a good cover thanks for putting it up
When Bobby Fuller(murdered by cops when he was 23 by fatal beatings)sang this track was legendary.When The Clash sang it this track was amazing.But whoever did this to the poor song must be at least ashamed!And its not the SeX Pistols,I think...
fuck the clash sex pistols will kick there fucking pussy hahaha STFU!!!! all you saying that dumb shit go jerk out somewhere else fucking fags liking cocks hahaha
dude, i'm not gonna call you an idiot like all these assholes, but its Dead Kennedy's. by the way, The Clash's cover is way better. a real fuckin gem. RIP Joe Strummer.
doesnt anyone look up anything anymore. if you cant tell the diffference between the dead kennedys and the sex pistols you should listen to christina anorexia
well noooooooo shit its jello, thanks for cutting edge info
