Bad Monkey Soundtrack Features Tom Petty Covers

The new Apple TV+ series, *Bad Monkey*, created by Bill Lawrence, has garnered attention not only for its engaging storyline but also for its impressive soundtrack, which premiered alongside the show on August 14. The soundtrack pays tribute to the late Tom Petty through a series of covers by notable artists, including Eddie Vedder, Fitz and the Tantrums, Sharon Van Etten, and Weezer. Notably, Charlotte Lawrence, Bill Lawrence’s daughter, makes her television debut in the series and contributes her own rendition of Petty’s classic “Wildflowers.” As of the series premiere, fans can enjoy four covers available for streaming, featuring artists like Fitz and The Tantrums and Eddie Vedder, who recently made waves with his cover of The English Beat’s “Save it For Later” in *The Bear* Season 3. Bill Lawrence expressed his excitement about the project, calling the Tom Petty cover a “career highlight” in an Instagram story leading up to the show’s debut. Listeners can look forward to the full soundtrack release scheduled for October, with a selection of songs already available on platforms like Apple Music and WaterTower Music’s YouTube page. Featured tracks include “You Don’t Know How It Feels” by Stephen Marley and “Here Comes My Girl” by Weezer, among others. New episodes of *Bad Monkey* will continue to premiere every Wednesday on Apple TV+.
