Default Best Version of "I Fought the Law"

Cause why the **** not. You got the 1960 original by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets, the 1966 version by The Bobby Fuller Four, the best version by The Clash, the other best version by the Dead Kennedys, and Green Day did a version too apparently. Vote, bitches.

The first two are fairly cool, and the Green Day version is... there, but god damn is The Clash's version the highest form of musical crack. The Dead Kennedy's version is also fantastic but musically not quite as on form but holy **** are the lyrical changes ****ing amazing. Jello 4 mayor of San Francisco.
