The Veronica Mars Theme Song Gets a New Spin Thanks to Chrissie Hynde — Take a Listen

Times, they are a-changing, and so are theme songs! With a fresh new season of Veronica Mars now streaming on Hulu this Summer, the series isn't just kicking it up a notch in grit — it's also changing up its signature opening tune.

The show's original theme song is "We Used to Be Friends" performed by The Dandy Warhols, a well-loved jam that was even referenced in the 2014 kick-starter film. But for its fourth season, the crime-drama series is switching out the original for a cover performed by Chrissie Hynde, founding member — as well as guitarist, lead vocalist, and primary songwriter — of The Pretenders.

As you can hear in the brief snippet of the new theme song above, it's definitely got it's own vibe! It makes sense that the show's opening credits would change with an older, darker season, and it's not the first time the series has changed things up on fans. Ahead, check out the previous iterations of Veronica Mars's theme songs, and get ready to check out Hynde's full cover now that the song and the new season have debuted on Hulu!
