Marilyn Manson celebrates his birthday today (January 5), and in recent years, the God of F*ck has greatly expanded his TV resume from actual acting roles to musical contributions.
Most recently, he offered up “Cupid Carries A Gun” from 2015’s The Pale Emperor to the WGN America series Salem. Of course, Salem isn’t the only show to feature a badass rock song as its theme. Here are eight rock songs that were also TV theme songs.
Marilyn Manson – “Cupid Carries A Gun” (Salem)
The Dandy Warhols – “We Used To Be Friends” (Veronica Mars)
Cake – “Short Skirt, Long Jacket” (Chuck)
They Might Be Giants – “Boss of Me” (Malcolm in the Middle)
The Black Keys – “I’ll Be Your Man” (Hung)
The Von Bondies – “C’mon C’mon” (Rescue Me)
Alabama 3 – “Woke Up This Morning” (The Sopranos)
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – “Bad Reputation” (Freaks & Geeks)
