That song you just can't find...

[MikesVT]

It happends to me ALL the time. You hear a GREAT song on the radio, you get home, and you can't remember for the life of you the name of the song or singer.
I know there are people out there that can find a song just by a few lyrics and I got a song I want found... Well, moreso the person who sings it (as its about the 5th cover made haha)
I thought a thread for this kinda thing might get some intrest? Or maybe its just my memory thats inferior
Also, the (+ recommended songs) bit of the title is for when you hear a great song that you want to tell the world about!!

Anyways, the song im looking for tonight, I'm sure its called "I fought the law"
Its being played on Triple J a fair bit, so it's relatively new (its NOT the clash or greenday) Its a female singer, and its kinda dance.

The lyrics I remember are :

"I fought the law... I fought the law but the law won, STOP for the love of God..." I think there are other words as well, but thats repeated alot.

Thanks to anyone who can help n hope this thread comes in handy :thumbsup:

If its on high rotation and the name of the song sounds familiar it might be on triple j's hit list

Monster Hospital, can you please release me?
You hold my hands down, I've been bad.
You hold my arms down, I've been bad.
I've been bad, I've been bad.

Monster Movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller
And he beat him hands down

they put a little lead in, in his head

I fought the war
I fought the war
I fought the war
but the war won

I fought the war
I fought the war
I fought the war
but the war won't stop for the love of God.

I fought the war
