Funny Lyrics:
"I Fought The Law"
The Funny Lyrics: I needed money 'cause I had none
Why They're Funny: Just wished to clarify that buddy holly did not write nor ever record the song 'i fought the law'. sonny curtis actually penned the song and it was recorded after holly's passing and subsequently released on the "in style with the crickets" in 1960, when curtis had become a member of the crickets.

| "I Fought The Law"
The Funny Lyrics: I needed money 'cause I had none
Why They're Funny: Just another lyric reinforcing the idea that Buddy Holly was long ahead of his time, an innovator and poet. Its such deep thought as this that puts him somewhere between Shakespeare and Hemingway
