Apparently, The Bobby Fuller Four recorded "I Fought the Law" multiple times, and in one (Commercially released on an LP!) version of the song, he replaced the word "fun" in the line "I miss my baby and the good fun" with "fuck."
And this isn't even a misheard lyric, since other recordings (specifically the single version) actually say "fun" more clearly:
Note: I know that there are some cases where the artists have to re-record a song to make certain lyrics clearer (e.g. The Kinks' "Apeman" had to re-record the line "The Air Pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes" to make sure they weren't saying "A-fuckin' up my eyes.") This is not one of those cases, however.
