Accolades


In 2009, it was named the 29th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.[2] It is the highest-ranked song by a woman on the list. In 2021, it was listed at No. 249 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[3]


Video


A music video was made in 1982 after the huge success of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". The video, directed by David Mallet, is a re-enactment of 23 record labels rejecting Jett's first solo album and her subsequent rise to the top of the charts with "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". Kenny Laguna, cofounder of Blackheart Records, appears in a cameo as the Warner Bros. executive.[4]

However, the song can be heard played loudly on a jukebox in a bar at the beginning of the "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" music video.

"Bad Reputation" was the opening theme to the television series Freaks and Geeks,[6] in the romantic comedy film 10 Things I Hate About You,[7] and was also used in the opening credits of the Discovery Channel series American Chopper.

Ronda Rousey first used the song in 2013 as her entrance music when she was Ultimate Fighting Championship's Women's Bantamweight Champion at the pay-per-view event UFC 157, and continuously used the song as her entrance music throughout her UFC career. In 2018, Rousey made her debut in WWE and would continue to use the song as her entrance music.

Jett performed the song live at WrestleMania 35 as Rousey entered the ring for her match to defend her WWE Raw Women's Championship in the first ever woman's main event at WrestleMania 35.[8]

In the 2001 film Shrek, the song is featured in a fight scene parodying professional wrestling. While the original Jett recording is heard in the film, a cover version by Halfcocked appears on the soundtrack album.[9]

The song was also featured in "Buried Pleasure" (season 1, episode 13 of The Cleveland Show) and the 2010 film Kick-Ass.

In 2022, the song was featured in a commercial for Folgers Coffee.
