Clash´ version is absolutely my favourite of all the great versions. Thanks Sonny for the great song. I could listen to Clash version 100 times a day, the energy is just magic. As if he made if for the band.
@B.Hausen5 ай бұрын
Crickets' Version is wonderful, maybe the best, I agree - and it is just because of a small detail: Delaying the third usually second hit of the snare on the drums to the fourth, as usual in many RnR-Songs that time. Nobody has done that since - wether the Clash, nor the Kennedys, nor.. anybody. Or? Cheers...
@B.Hausen5 ай бұрын
@Jimbo: Clash's version has caught the best tempo that song needs, therefore I agree. And the most possible aggressive guitar sound available at this time.

Sonny Curtis is a songwriting genius. Anybody who could come up with "Love Is All Around" is as good as they get. I was a kid back in the '60s when "I Fought The Law" first hit the jukeboxes. I was totally fascinated and entranced by that song and I would play it every chance I got. Still love it to this day, not to mention all his other great songs.

I sure enjoyed this interview. Was never sure who wrote the song, but I grew up in my teen years going to the teen club that was owned by Bobby Fuller in El Paso, Texas. I always thought he had written it. Oh Well. I was there 2 to 3 nights a week. I can’t tell you how much fun I had dancing my butt off to all of their songs. The only one that was an “original” for them was "I Fought the Law”. I always had a special fondness for these guys, especially Bobby because he was the cutest and of course, the lead singer of a band in my home town!! The rest of the songs they performed at the teen club were Beatles, the Animals, and a few others from the early-mid 60’s. And, at the ages of 13 to 15, I thought they sounded exactly like the famous bands whose songs they sang! The teen center kind of flopped after the Bobby Fuller Four moved to L.A. I was devastated when I heard that he had died. A real shame. All through the years, whenever this song has come on the radio, I have relived those fun, carefree days. Lucky me!! And, for those of you who don’t like Sunny Curtis’s singing, hey, give the guy a break! This was a nice nostalgic moment for me until I read some of the petty comments toward the bottom. Shame on you.

I always thought I FOUGHT THE LAW was a great song not only for the words but for its length. The MUSIC and the instrumental portions were blended in just the right proportions to make the timing of the song not too short and not to long. The 6 drum beats mimicking the sound of the 6 gun was especially good timing that enhanced the overall beat of the song.

copyright law is entirely different from intellectual property law which covers inventions (patents), but even then it's not always dfficult to obtain a patent of your own invention if you work for a company. back to copyrights, if you wrote a book while working for a company, you own the copyright. it's yours. it works the same for songs.
@markshade8398 Жыл бұрын
That is true if the nature of the employment is relative to the song writing AND if you do it on their time. If the job is not relative to songwriting (like carpentry or being a mechanic) then it would not be so. And if you write the song on your own time and with your own personal equipment then it also would not be property if the employee.

@@mikegooch8525 thanks for clearing that up, I was stumped for just a second because of the original comment. I worked at a place that had a policy of, if you invent something, the company owns the patent, I never even thought about music (and I did play in a band and write songs back then) , but your correct, music is copyrighted, and is not covered under the same policy as patents are. But also I’m sure that if the song was work related, ( maybe you wrote a jingle for the company) If the company wanted it, they would pay you for the copyright to own the song.
