Friday Fun: Top Ten Law Songs

Did Above the Law get it right?

  1. I Fought The Law - The Clash
  2. Lawyers, Guns, and Money - Warren Zevon
  3. 99 Problems - Jay-Z
  4. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
  5. We're All Winners, as arranged by Nixon Peabody
  6. Law and Order theme song
  7. Hurricane - Bob Dylan
  8. Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
  9. I Fought The Law - Bobby Fuller 4
  10. The Road Goes on Forever - Robert Earl Keen

Would you rank Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues so low? And where is his I Walk The Line? Details with links to lyrics and YouTube videos at Above the Law. Check out the explanation for Nixon Peabody's We're All Winners. The video for the song was pulled by YouTube.

My favorite law song didn't even receive an honorable mention. It's Homer Simpson singing Judas Priest's Breaking the Law.

Videos of Johnny Cash performing I Walk the Line and Folsom Prison Blues (much better than the video linked to by ATL) in San Quentin Prison below the fold. [JH]
