Line 2:
You're watching a movie and abruptly you hear a familiar song. From the cue you know that shit is going to go down and it is going to go down hard. This trope is humbly dedicated to any song that has been used in so many movies that playing it in a new movie tells the audience exactly what's going to happen in the scene. Similar in spirit to [[Ominous Latin Chanting]], but uses modern songs.

Not to be confused with [[Complete Monster]], or [[Bad with the Bone]].

Line 13 ⟶ 11:
** It was used for the climax fight of ''[[Megamind]]''.
** Also appeared in one of the trailers for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].
* The former [[Trope Namer]] is [[George Thorogood]]'s "Bad to the Bone", a traditional [[Badass]] song, used in the second ''[[Terminator]]'' film.
** "Bad to the Bone" is used amusingly in ''[[Married... with Children]]'', whenever Al's about to do something badass. For example, eating a bunch of burritos in order to do horrible things to Peg's decorated bathroom.
*** [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|You mean Al heroically reclaiming his beloved bathroom after Peggy took it away from him.]]
