"Bad to the Bone" is a song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
released in 1982 on the album of the same name. While it was not a
major hit on initial release, its video made recurrent appearances
on the nascent MTV, which was created a year before. Licensing for
films, television, and commercials has since made "Bad to the Bone"
better recognized.
