Music/TwistedSister did a gender-flipped cover of the song in 1985, sung from Jimmy's POV, in which it's the girl who drives off and dies in an auto accident.

** "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" once again has the singer insist that the guy isn't ''really'' bad, despite what her friends have heard; "he's good bad, but he's not evil". She sounds suspiciously like a HormoneAddledTeenager defending her own questionable judgement.

* The Music/NinjaSexParty song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvgcLTzwjVM "First Date"]] is about Danny attempting to woo a girl who’s "played it safe [her] whole life" by taking her on a night-long rule-breaking spree; beginning with innocent trespassing and quickly escalating to a carjacking, museum heist, and quintuple homicide. In the music video, this ends up backfiring on him when she falls for the far more evil and violent Ninja Brian instead.

* {{Discussed|Trope}} by Music/LaurynHill in "Doo Wop (That Thing)", imparting to her female listeners to ''not'' pursue bad boys, more specifically not allowing themselves to be [[RomanticizedAbuse willfully degraded to someone where "respect is just a minimum"]] in hollow pursuit of "[[SexualEuphemism that thing]]". Interestingly enough, the song [[GenderInvertedTrope also warns said men to not go with women who are also only interested in "that thing"]], as both are equally big problems that can ruin lives.

While it is true that girls who think that "bad boys" are layered aren't always right, there is nothing in the original song to imply that Jimmy is a truly bad person.
