Call me dumb, but I never knew this was a Buddy Holly song.

Always thought it was a Bobby Fuller song from 66.

Watched both videos, Bobby Fuller did have the go-go dancers in 66.

You are dumb.

Well, kind of. Financial Times says: “I Fought The Law” was first recorded by The Crickets, on the album they completed after Holly's 1959 death in a plane crash at the age of just 22.

Wikipedia notes: The song was written in 1958 by Sonny Curtis, and recorded in 1959 when he joined the Crickets, taking the place of Buddy Holly on guitar. The song was included on their 1960 album, In Style with the Crickets, and the following year appeared as the B-side of their single, "A Sweet Love". The song received very little airplay.

It's a good version of the song, for sure!

It’s not a Buddy Holly song.

He’d died before it was released.

I know Buddy songs and you lack understanding.

Simon Peter cut off a Roman slaves ear when they came to arrest Jesus. Talk about 2A...damn sword fights....

Not JUST go-go dancers, but go-go dancers WITH SIX GUNS! One in each hand! Think of the triggering, so to speak, this would cause today.

[plain talk]

Ouch. The EQ on those vocals is dreadful and unlistenable. Not necessarily the Crickets fault. Poor production.

Call me dumb, but I never knew this was a Buddy Holly song.

No, you're smart, because Buddy Holly wasn't on this recording.

[Fiji Hill]

Note that the Crickets were robbing people with a zip gun (homemade firearm), while Bobby Fuller was robbing people with a six-gun.

This crickets b side. I knew the Bobby Fuller 4 song around the time I graduated HS in 66. Didn’t know the crickets did it. I don’t think Holly was alive when they recorded it

[BipolarBob]

I prefer fighting with Dorothy.

This song is very close to I Fought the Law. Written by Buddy and Sonny Curtis.
