I'd see him with just a guitar and stool. Proper pants would be a nice touch, though.

Desmond Child's laziest songwriting effort. It's where @cmolanphy's theory comes in: the track's popularity was, in a way, the public's referendum for the success of Slippery When Wet. The public was primed to buy ANYTHING Bon Jovi in 1988, and they bought this hot garbage. https://t.co/MkeNmqrf7R— Adrien Begrand (@AdrienBegrand) June 9, 2021

As far as Bon Jovi goes, this is the only one I don't turn off when it comes on the radio. I find it gloriously stupid.

It's a terrific fake Slade song (only lacking in that it wasn't titled "Bad Med-A-Sin").

I love the song's fake fake-ending, which is like extra stupid. I love the on the nose lyrics. I love how it sounds a bit like the fake song Jack Black writes in "School of Rock." And I love how the only Bon Jovi songs I can hum are the ones they wrote with Desmond Child, though to be fair there are a bunch of songs they did with Desmond Child that I've never heard or don't recognize. Desmond Child, man. What a weird ass CV that hack has.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 June 2021 12:06 (two years ago) link
FWIW, Child had another hit with Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" the same year as "Bad Medicine," and that song is even more in the Slade-ish glam-rock mode.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 June 2021 12:13 (two years ago) link
and much better
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 10 June 2021 12:14 (two years ago) link

Desmond Child should be banned from music with guitars, sitars, theremins, and bongos

OMG, there is some great stuff here, which makes me think I could listen to Desmond Child tell stories for hours:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TDydJPb7O0
In which I learn that "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was written about Vince Neil (and also that Desmond Child is gay, which I also didn't know). Here's a crazy clip of Child with Vince Neil and a young Rick Beato working on something shitty:

One reason why "Bad Medicine" seems worse than the Slippery When Wet singles is that those songs could plausibly be seen as having actual subjects, storylines and characters that we could putatively care about, whereas this song is just a contentless celebration of their Bon Joviness (particularly if you're familiar with the video).
I'm surprised this song hasn't been hijacked by the anti-vaxxers yet.

The problem is, Bon Jovi WANT their bad medicine.
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:28 (two years ago) link
If “hate myself” had been sung by Bon Jovi you guys would hate on it and point to jett’s “medicine” as the superior tune
― calstars, Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:39 (two years ago) link
counterpoint: nope
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:41 (two years ago) link
I hate the Jovi but can at least point to hooks in his older material. the chorus to Bad Medicine is fuckin' dire, as is the verse, and it sounds like it was written in ten minutes over screwdrivers
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:45 (two years ago) link
It doesn't seem that different from "You Give Love a Bad Name" in terms of content? It's just a less negative take on seduction and obsession but it could even be a prequel.xps
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:45 (two years ago) link
tbh I'm not a huge fan of "I Hate Myself for Loving You" either but i'd take it over Butt Medicine
