I remember I got community service for graffiti and I'm listening to music while picking up trash and this song came on my playlist I just smiled laughed.
+M3RK “action” CHAOS They didn't say that was the original...they said The Clash version was their favorite. Try reading what they wrote before calling them out on it, cause it make you look like the dumb one, and a jackass
This song has been going long before the Clash were around so you can't really hate on Green Day for covering it, lots of bands have its just a great song and every band has done it well
This all gets back to the great Buddy Holly, who Bobby Fuller idolized. Clash version is good so is the cut by Sam Neely but nobody touches the original.
if i read it right..this song was written by Sonny Curtis of the group The Crickets but it was popularized by the group Bobby Fuller Four back in late 50's and early 60's.
+TheEpicMonkyman5 i don't know why green day covered this song, it gets covered way too much as it is the bobby fuller four then the crickets the clash green day and probably a dozen more if you search.
since when is there a limit on how many times a song can be covered? what's 'way too much'? I imagine Green Day were trying to connect themselves with the original punk movement through the Clash version (the most well known, while not by any means the best version) and the Dead Kennedys one. I agree with you that musically it's a bit pointless, but if you like the song, and you like Green Day's punk pop sound, it's another good cover.

Honestly, I've listened to several different versions and covers of this song, and Green Day does it the best.
I don't care what anyone says; this will always be my favorite version of this song.
Agree
Green day's version kicks ass, I love it. Billie has a voice that can sing anything and still make it sound Awesome As Fuck! XX
Anonymous 27 I totally agree
Anonymous 27 no the clash version is wayyyy better
Mew2master150 nah mate green days sounds better
Preference isn't it? I grew up on the Clash cover. However, Green Day do a good cover but I prefer the Clash cover as it is the one I grew up with.

Why isn't Green day's version of this song on Spotify?
because Spotify is a bitch
+Lilly Ward I agree

This song is my favorite song ever. It's not as good as the clash's version, but it is great.
What the heck are you saying..
This is my best song in the whole history.
I was in high school when this song first came back in '65 or'66. We used to sing 'I fought the bra and the bra won"

I love how they covered this song 🎵 ❤
His voice just made this song 10x better
Hmmm - you've heard the Clash? This is an uninspired cover - the solo is a straight ripoff, note for note. I like GD, but this is just a toss-off
Great cover of a classic song.
Never thought this day would come. This is good. Too good for green day.
Green day was the perfect band to cover this song!!
Not their original song but still it's an awesome cover :)
the song is like 60 Years old so I think we know this clash isn't the original either
@@kanjionshasteen9159 The comment is like 8 years old so I think I don't give af anymore. 😂
You cared enough to go out of your way in your pathetic ass life to respond

love this song!!
I like this version, but it's nothing compared to the original...
Thankyou
Arkhamheart I think the clash is the best.
+BladeXFire Yes!!
+BladeXFire the clash didn't make the original
Q: who made "i fought the law"
A: sonny curtis and the crickets

I’m singing this for my school talent show
How'd It go?
this is from the crickets,then bobby fuller covered it,then clash covered it,then green day did,clash is the best
It's been 3 years, how did it go
he's rotting in jail for life for a mass murder he killed the show
I love this song! My friend was singing this so I looked it up
Green Day is probably the best band out there. Their songs speak the truth that no one wants /spoken/ to them, which makes them awesome
But they did not write any of it
The Clash was one of Green Day's biggest inspirations, so they have every right to play this song. :)
It's not from the clash either
I FOUGHT THE LAW AND LAW WON!
"extincting" isnt a word. but you have the right spirit, I give you that.
One of the best songs of all time
thanks american dad!

Just watched that lol
Me too lol
I'm not in the mood to perform stan! Oh you know I can't resist LOL
Both versions are of equal awesomeness! I love both just as much as the other, it's not that hard

This was a really cool song to end RoboCop with. Hah, anyone else watch RoboCop and just needed to hear this song again?

I love Green Day!
I like that song...

This would be a great song for GTA 5/ Online, The COPS are EVIL man. They take my baby every time, my beautiful mustang.
no, Tom Sawyer would be a good song, wait that songs good for doing blow
I fought the law, and the law won. Got blasted by a sheriff shotgun in GTA Online
Love this song
Excellent version
When I fought the law, I didn't win :(
I like this version but I have to be honest
the clash 's version is 10 times better.
I like the green day version because they say the chorus more than the clash and that's my favorite part
+Lilly Ward Bryan Adams versions kicks all the others asses in my opinion
+Lilly Ward Y'know that's not the original thought right?
+P Brachno YESS!!!!
Sadly, I feel the same. Sorry Billie.
A fun song. Loved it.
This song is awesome
My ex sung this when he got arrested
This all gets back to the great Buddy Holly, who Bobby Fuller idolized. Clash version is good so is the cut by Sam Neely but nobody touches the original.
sadly, it was recorded just after his death and it doesn't feature his voice or guitar
great
Awesome cover!
Robocop brings me here
Needs to be I fought the Navy, and the 90,000 tons of diplomacy won.
Catchy
Thanks.
I'm not sure what the 90k tons of diplomacy is...
The U.S.S Nimitz.
+Le Jackomatic Ok. Thanks.
Robocop great thanks for introducing me to this song :P
For me it was Sleeping Dogs.
Love an amazing person who fought the law
Everyone is saying clash's was better or green day's was better can't we just show equal apparition to both artist and keep our opinions to ourselves
Duck_Alpaca i think you mean appreciation but yes i think you are right
I disagree. Everyone has favorites. You can admire and like one but you can also like one more than the other
But where's the fun in that
Duck_Alpaca, no
Fuck you
because so many bands covered this song, i dont know who originally sang it
if i read it right..this song was written by Sonny Curtis of the group The Crickets but it was popularized by the group Bobby Fuller Four back in late 50's and early 60's.
Wikipedia says it was recorded after Buddy Holly's death early 1959 and released late 1960.
Best with a back-beat!
I never knew Green Day did a cover of this. Muy cool.
well i'll tell you what didn't win. The spelling in this video.
Austin Grubb True.
Oh shut the fuck up
WHY? What's Wrong W/ IT ???? 😆
Green day made this song I never knew
Devin Jones it’s a cover the original is by the clash
@@brandonc2069 The Crickets wrote the song
Green Day I hope will always be timeless
freakin' genius!
Am I the only one that thinks Billie Joe Armstrong sounds like Aaron Paul in this song
Yeah, I think I can -see- hear some Aaron Paul.
prefer this cover
damn roght
Shut up.
How come ive never heard this? I mean, its just so great.
Each to their own.
Video Game High School. Law's theme song.
This version is good, I still like the Clash one better
How?
Skyler Sanders What do you mean how? Are they supposed to say exactly why? That's just their opinion, consequently, it's mine too

TheEpicMonkyman5 ..... Totally agree!!!!!
1) Crickets
2) Clash
my 2 cents
(that being said, haven't heard a bad cover yet)
i just realized how applicable this song is to John Marston's situation after the bank robbery gone wrong in Red Dead Redemption 2
Nicee
Or I fought the Marines and the Marines won.
I fought the RAF and the RAF won
+Nate Thurlow No offense to the Marines, but the RAF has a more amazing history
meh
Battle for Britan
1 more year and imma win. i got a 5 year sentence in the marines.
Not bad this version, but i think the best version was made by the clash
the best version is the original by bobby fuller 4
Brent Pawlowicz Bobby Fuller Four version wasn't the original, it was a cover. The Crickets made the original.
StonedRockz Sonny Curtis actually.
Agreed!
Lucarnosky1 agreed. Furthermore the Clash were better songwriters than Greenday.
Very good cover song!The Clash would be proud.🤘👍🏻
It's not even The Clash's original song
Good cover :)
I like this version, but The Clash did it better.
Bobby did better then both
