Marilyn MansonDespite 2012 rumors that they may have been  hooking up in other ways, Marilyn Manson and Avril Lavigne have actually hooked up musically for the track “Bad Girl.” Yes, we were as shocked as you are, but dare we say Manson may have worked his black magic to  return Lavigne to the dark side, rather than Manson venturing into bubblegum territory. It’s a bit edgier than anything we’d have expected from Lavigne. The track will be included on Lavigne’s self-titled album released on November 5. No word on Chad Kroeger’s response, even though we are assuming he thinks it’s hot and maybe wouldn’t say anything to the contrary in fear Manson may kick his ass.

Check out the audio for the lyrically NSFW track below.
