Bad to the Bone was released by George Thorogood and the Destroyers in 1982 and became closely associated with Stephen King's Christine, directed by John Carpenter and released in 1983. The song plays as the red and white Plymouth Fury is introduced, cementing its link to rebellious cars and dangerous attitudes. Its riff has since appeared across films, adverts and edits, and short clips circulate widely as a meme for confident entrances. The Christine connection keeps this version distinct from generic rock stings, giving it a specific cinematic menace.

The iconic Bad to the Bone guitar riff from the film Christine, often used for tough entrances, cool reveals and badass character moments online.
This clip is the opening guitar riff and vocal hook from Bad to the Bone, instantly recognisable for its heavy blues rock groove and snarling delivery. The chugging guitar and confident growl signal a character who is dangerous, rebellious and completely unbothered. In the film Christine it underscores the arrival of the possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury, linking the music to menace and attitude. Online the short excerpt works as instant shorthand, turning an ordinary entrance, outfit reveal or slow walk into something cooler, tougher and deliberately over the top for comedic effect.
