Monday Morning Music - "I'll Break 1,000 More, Baby..."

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone


 "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.

 The song has been used in filmmaking and television productions when a "bad guy" needs to be introduced or identified. The song was for instance used in the bar scene in Terminator 2: Judgment Day where the Terminator first is shown in his full leather outfit. "Bad to the Bone" can also be heard in the remake of The Parent Trap in the poker scene, as well as a few trailers, the opening credits to Major Payne, in the first scene and during the closing credits of Stephen King's Christine, as well as multiple episodes of the sitcom Married... with Children, usually preceded or followed by Al Bundy's battle cry "Let's Rock".

Enjoy!
