I Shot The Sheirref

[Perfection]

Who plays it better Eric Clapton or Bob Marley

 

[amadeus]

What do I think? Doesn't matter.

I hate the song

 

[Fez_Monk]

Warren G

 

[Richard III]

Gene Pitney's "The man who shot liberty vallance" trumps both.

( )

I voted Marley

 

[De Lorimier]

Marge Simpson.

I suspect the sherrif shot the "sheirref", because he was a badly-misspelled imposter.

EDIT: You don't even want to know what he did to the sherrief.

 

[Mephisto]

don't like the song either.

 

[napoleon526]

[Simon Darkshade]

Now there's a man with excellent taste.

The best version of "I Shot the Sheriff" that I ever heard was performed in a basement bar in Troy, New York by three local musicians that you've almost certainly never heard of. This was probably also influenced by my being young, single, and buzzed.

Another side note: the Eric Clapton version was at Top 40 hit when my brother and I were kind of young, and although we couldn't understand all the lyrics, we used to love singing "I shot the sheriff... but I didn't shoot the deaf-o-beans."

It was in the "Behind the Laughter" episode, where it was teling what the members of the Simpsons did after the group broke up. Marge had a lounge act where she sung the song, with a chorus of guys in cowboy outfits chanting "She didn't do it! She didn't do it!" Then Marge says something like--

Marge: So the next time you see a sheriff, shoot him!

Audience: (Gasp)

Marge: A smile!

Audience: Awwww...(claps)

 

[Ohwell]

Bob Marley is better.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

You can fool some people some times
but you can't fool all the people all the time
so now we see the light, we gonna stand up for our rights

I know it was from get up, stand up but it was just to show that Bob Marley and the Wailers are hard to beat.

Original and best.........

I agree Get up stand up is bob marley's best song

Though i really like "stir it up" And "No woman no cry"
