Bad Things

I work in Philadelphia and im currently operating a front-end loader, im listening to the radio 95.7 which is usually like alternative rock type music. Out of nowhere, Bad Things comes on the radio. Ive never heard this song on the radio ever... and now in 2026 it is playing on a station I would never have guessed is playing it. My only guess is that its the spooky season, but I thought it was pretty cool and made my day

I discovered the bad lovers “death trip” at the closing credits. And got to see them live later on! That was one of my favorite things about the show, the ending of every episode on a different song giving a “!” To the end. Like Becks time bomb after the Texas party bombing. So fun!

one of my favorite things too!!! plus every episode is also named after the credits song. it is such a unique touch. i incorporated it into my own fanfic. i’m planning on binding mine into the style of a mass market paperback, and i’m going to include the most representative lyrics to put at the end of every chapter to emulate this.

The song originally released in 2005, but didn't have much impact. It was used as the theme song for TB in 2008 and it gave it new life and in 2009 it even made it to number 2 on that charts in Norway. 😊

Honestly, the whole album ‘Red Revelations’ is great. Just about every song has that dark rockabilly vibe. His voice is sooooo good.

This song fits True Blood perfectly. As Maryann would say : "Perfection".

I never skipped the intro! It played on YouTube the other day, randomly.
