Jace Everett, who is the writer and performer of the True Blood theme song, "Bad Things", will be performing today, July 22nd, as part of the Twilight Dance Series in Los Angeles. He will be performing along with Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux and Italian superstar, Jovanatti. Jace had no idea when he wrote "Bad Things" that it would be the perfect opening for True Blood. Alan Ball who created the show typically takes breaks while writing scripts and hops on iTunes to do some exploring and then return to his scripts. While taking one of these breaks Alan came across Jace and his song, "Bad Things". Alan thought the song was amazing but still wasn't sure if it was "the one". So Gary Calamar, who is the music producer for the show, went and started looking for some other options. Gary and Alan listened to some great songs but the whole time they admit Jace's lyrics, "I wanna do bad things with you", was still blazing in the back of their minds. It became clear that "Bad Things" was the perfect song for True Blood. It has a great mix of sex, menace, romance, and humor. Gary believes the song even helped Alan and the writers find that unique tone for the show and he believes "Bad Things" will go down in history as one of the best television theme songs ever! I for one happen to agree completely! SOURCE: KCRW (Photo Credit: KCRW) http://truebloodnet.com http://truebloodnet.com/community http://truebloodnet.com/forums
