Stray Cats - I Fought The Law

The Stray Cats are a rockabilly band formed in 1979 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer (Bloodless Pharaohs/Brian Setzer Orchestra) with school friends Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, New York. The group had several hit singles in the UK, Australia and the U.S. during the early 1980s.

[@MrMViceroy]

My favourite version, it combines the better musical elements of the Bobby Fuller Four's version with the faster pace of The Clash's version.

[@ibuprofen303]

Go go Stray Cats this version is great . You can't beat the best rockabilly band in the world yesss Stray Cats.

[@jumpinfred]

Two versions were recorded. One around 88/89 as a b-side for Bring It Back Again. The other one in 1992 for the Original Cool album.

[@Nachito460]

¿From what age is this song of this band?. If someone knows, answer me please

[@lolxdtyp]

The original was from the late 50's, then Bobby Fuller covered it in the 60's, which, in turn, was covered by the Clash in the late 70's and THAT'S how we end up with the Stray Cats - a band that created the neobilly sound in the 80's. Long story short: It's an 80's song from an 80's band ;) I Hope I could help

[@lolxdtyp]

Gentleman Frank I think I like both equally. Sometimes I'm in a bit of a Stray Cats-mood and sometimes I feel like the Clash just does it for me.

[@ibuprofen303]

TheGreatUtopiaCat The Crickets :-o no less. The year after Buddy Holly died, if I'm not mistaken. It's certainly not him singing on it.

[@bennevisplace]

Great pop song. I like this version but it's a bit percussion-heavy. For me Bobby Fuller is better, so is the Clash. Sonny Curtis (of the Crickets) does something different and real good with this.

[@federalwhippingboy]

+bennevisplace In case you didn't know, Sonny Curtis was the original guy.

[@lauranewberry6520]

bennevisplace the clash has the edge here. Try playing all three after each other. And you will see what I mean

The Clash don't even use the correct chords. Sad.

[@donnix1192]

The stray cats were much better musicians than the clash and it shows in their respective covers of this Sonny Curtis tune.
