What is a fanlisting? According to TFL.org, 'A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.'
bad to the bone
"Bad to the Bone" is a blues-influenced rock song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It was released in 1981 on the album of the same name. It was an early hit thanks to its memorable video on MTV, which was in its infancy and had very few titles. Almost any video played at that time became a hit because there were so few videos to be played and the medium so new.
The video intercut a live performance by Thorogood and his band with him playing a lengthy game of pool with blues guitar legend Bo Diddley. Pool legend Willie Moscone was summoned from another room by a spectator and he wages a large sum of money on Diddley. As Thorogood appears to be winning, a group of children outside celebrate while Diddley gets a dirty look from Moscone. It ends with Thorogood making the 8 ball drop into a pocket by flicking a large quantity of cigar ash on the floor (a reflection of the less PC times, Thorogood prominently smokes a fat cigar throughout the pool playing sequence, but obviously not when he is performing), implying the impact of some ash made the ball fall in.
The song was used in the bar scene in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Bad to the Bone can also be heard in the remake of The Parent Trap (featuring Lindsay Lohan) in the poker scene, the opening credits to Major Payne and Problem Child - with its main riff appearing through the movie, in the first scene of Stephen King's Christine, as well as multiple episodes of the sitcom Married... with Children and in the Super Nintendo classic game Rock 'n Roll Racing. It is also widely known to monster truck fans as the theme song for Dennis Anderson's Grave Digger truck.
The song is said to be one of the best-recognised songs of the 80s and is one of the most heavily licensed songs for commercials, TV shows and movies, along with Katrina and The Waves hit Walking On Sunshine.
The song has a very similar melody to AC/DC's hit "Whole Lotta Rosie" which was released on their album "Let There Be Rock" in 1977, before Bad to the Bone was released.

lyrics
On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the boneI broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the boneI make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
