Chicago-based American alternative country band The Waco Brothers’ ‘I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)‘ showed up on the legal drama So Help Me Todd this week — So Help Me Todd, Season 1, Episode 15, “Ivan the Terrible”.
The song was heard on the episode as the court room is being hacked.
The Waco Brothers’ ‘I Fought the Law‘, of course, is a cover of the original song most famously released by The Clash and then later by The Dead Kennedys and Green Day.
The Waco Brother’s cover first showed up on the compilation album For A Decade of Sin: 11 Years of Bloodshot Records, and was then re-released on the band’s own 2020 studio album RESIST!.
As covers go, it is a pretty solid version true to The Clash track, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

The first season of So Help Me Todd is currently airing via CBS.
