------------------------

"Breaking the Law" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, originally released on their 1980 album British Steel.
The song is one of the band's better known singles, and is recognized by its opening guitar riff.

Composition

Prior to releasing 1980's British Steel, Judas Priest had been making moves toward streamlining their music into a simpler, less processed sound.
That approach came to full fruition on British Steel.
"Breaking the Law" combines a recognisable minor-key opening riff and a rhythmic chorus as its main hooks.
There is a change-up on the mostly instrumental bridge, a new chord progression with Halford shouting "You don't know what it's like!" before the sound effect of a police car's siren leads back into the main riff (made using a Stratocaster by Downing).
More recent live performances of the song have featured a short solo by KK over the bridge.
The outro of the song is the main riff played repeatedly with Halford singing the chorus and Downing playing power chords.

The lyrics tell of someone who gets tired of everything that comes with an ordinary life-that life has become boring.
This leads the person to take a chance and start breaking the law.

The song featured some sound effects, including the sound of breaking glass and police siren.
The band were recording British Steel at Tittenhurst Park, which was the home of The Beatles's drummer Ringo Starr.
For the breaking glass effect, the band used milk bottles that a milkman brought them in the morning, and the police siren was actually guitarist K.K. Downing using the tremolo arm on his Stratocaster.

Critical reaction

The song made VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs making the list at 40.
In 2009 it was named the 12th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.

References in popular culture

In the 1990s, the song was both used and parodied in an episode of the MTV show, Beavis and Butt-head, when the title duo are washing a neighbor's dog in a washing machine and repeatedly chanting a parody of "Washing the dog, washing the dog" to the tune of the song and sing the actual song later on in the same episode.

The song is featured in the soundtrack to the 2006 video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.

The comedian Noel Fielding pretended to sing this song into a baby's face as a lullaby, on the British musical comedy TV show Never Mind the Buzzcocks in November 2013.

The song was parodied in an episode of The Simpsons. Homer has gained asylum in a Danish apartment building, as the FBI is after him for pirating movies, and the FBI attempts to get him out by bringing in Judas Priest (egregiously referred to as a death metal band) to sing an piracy-minded version of the song, which included the lyrics "Respecting the law, copyright law."
