There’s the classic “I Fought the Law” in the 1959 original version by the Crickets:

The original version has the line “robbing people with a zip gun”, which was later changed “robbing people with a six gun” in the Bobby Fuller Four version of 1966:

Apparently, the “six-gun” reference was more palatable as it made one think of the old west rather than “zip gun” which was connected with teen gangs and juvenile delinquency, which was a big issue in the late 50s.
And, of course, there is the line “I miss my baby and the good fun”, which many say was really “I miss my baby and a good ****”.
Fuller was found dead in his car shortly after the song’s release. The official version was suicide, but there are rumors that he was involved with a woman with Mafia ties.
Really,thanks for the background Fresh Wind ((((Hugs)))
