    The Authority Song was released on the 1983 album, "Uh-Huh" by John Cougar Mellencamp.

    When John Cougar Mellencamp wrote the Authority Song, he was young and rebellious himself. He referred to the song as "our new version of `I Fought the Law'."

    The song is about rebellion against authority. The song begins by pointing out that authority figures like to put people in compromising positions and then laugh at them. The authority figures think it's cute and funny while those who are being laughed at feel that it's disgraceful.

    Way to bring The Rawk you guys! Frank you are becoming an A List guitar slinger these days. Rock on man! @Plaidcow you sound really good on vocals here and then you exceed expectations with a guitar solo in the Outro. How cool is that? Very cool indeed. The whole rhythm section is rock steady. Bravo!
