Bad Company’s self-titled 1974 debut album introduced the world to them with a song of the same name. Yes, Bad Company had a theme song, but it didn’t start out that way.
Rodgers revealed that Ralphs dropped the phone when he told him about the song “Bad Company” he was working on. He claimed Ralphs said, “Yes, that's it! That's what we gotta call the band!’”
“He was just elated. It was great,” he added of his bandmate, who died in June 2025 at age 81.
Rodgers, who wrote the song “Bad Company” with Kirke, also told Trunk that the vocals for the iconic opening were recorded in a field under a full moon.
“In late 1973, there was a Clint Eastwood western,” Kirke said in the interview. “We had this idea about being what they called long riders, who rode across the plains in their long coats, with Winchesters in holsters and tumbleweed blowing across the plain. It was a very romantic image, and Paul was very much enamored of that picture.”
