Bad Monkey soundtrack: A definitive guide to all the songs in the series

Apple TV+'s upcoming series, Bad Monkey, has already started gathering a lot of momentum ahead of its release on August 14, 2024. Not only does the series star some huge names like Vince Vaughn, Michelle Monaghan, and Jodie Turner-Smith but it is also adapted from a source material that should make it a fun watch.

Based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Carl Hiaasen, another element that has already caught the imagination of the fans ahead of the show's premiere is Bad Monkey's soundtrack, which takes on the unique approach of celebrating Tom Petty's music.

The entire soundtrack of the upcoming show has as many as 21 brand-new, unreleased covers of Tom Petty songs. To add to the intrigue, the covers are from artists like The War on Drugs, Sharon Van Etten, Stephen Marley, Nathaniel Rateliff, Kurt Vile, and Eddie Vedder among others.

Without further ado, let us take a look at the songs we are going to encounter in Apple TV+'s Bad Monkey.
