Bad to the Bone was released by George Thorogood and the Destroyers in 1982 and became shorthand for a tough, swaggering entrance in films, TV and commercials. The riff has been memed for decades as entrance music for pets, athletes and villains. Earrape edits emerged from YouTube and Discord meme culture in the mid-2010s, where popular sounds were intentionally overdriven and clipped for comedic shock. This short version keeps only the most recognizable guitar hook, which is why it still works as an instant badass cue online.
