And here is #TheClash. RIP, #SonnyCurtis. 3/3 (Intrigued that this is the "official video," when all it is is an amalgam of a bunch of other Clash videos for other songs. *shrug*) https://youtu.be/AL8chWFuM-s

Everybody's remembering the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme, as they should. But he also wrote one of my favorite Clash songs, "I Fought the Law!" 2/3
Here's the original: https://youtu.be/C4Z9wq8d0lk

Man ist ganz einfach so ungebildet... Ich dachte NATÜRLICH, dass "I fought the law" von The Clash stammt, aber weit, weit gefehlt. Man ist halt dumm.
#RIP, Sonny Curtis.

Farewell to MARY TYLER MOORE theme song writer/performer Sonny Curtis (1937-2025), who passed away on the show’s 55th anniversary.
He’ll forever be remembered for asking “Who can turn the world on with her smile?”.
But his season one lyrics cut deeper, reflecting the hopes and fears of a generation of young women who were asked “How will you make it on your own?”.

1) Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
2) I needed money cuz I had none
3) Robbin' people with a six-gun
4) I lost my girl and I lost my funI left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
