"Bad Reputation" is a rock song co-written and recorded by Joan Jett and first released from her 1980 debut album of the same name.
In 2009, it was named the 29th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. It is the highest-ranked song by a woman on the list.
The video, directed by David Mallet, is a re-enactment of 23 record labels rejecting Joan 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 Brothers executive.
The song is featured in the following films and television series:
Additionally, the song is featured as a playable song in the video game Rock Band 2. Cover versions are sung by surf band Los Straitjackets and Avril Lavigne. The song was sampled by Peaches on the track "I Don't Give A...," taken from her 2003 album Fatherfucker.
The song was used for a 2011 animated AIDS awareness video produced by the French non-profit organization AIDES. The cartoon, produced by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners and presented in the style of 1920s era animation, features the comically exaggerated sexual adventures of a cat named "Smutley" and ends with the message, "He has nine lives. You only have one. Protect yourself."
The song is also used as the walkout song for former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey.
Juliette Barnes, the emotional chanteuse in the ABC musical drama series, Nashville, sings an abbreviated version in the October 7, 2015, episode.
