Ahead of the Veronica Mars<\/a> revival, the series\u2019 longtime theme song is getting a re-vamp. For the eight-episode reboot on Hulu, the show\u2019s theme song, \u201cWe Used To Be Friends\u201d by the Dandy Warhols, will be performed by the Pretenders<\/a>\u2019 Chrissie Hynde<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a teaser for Hynde\u2019s take of the 2003 hit, Veronica Mars<\/em> star Kristen Bell and creator Rob Thomas banter about doing more episodes of the series via FaceTime.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy can\u2019t we just keep making more episodes?\u201d Thomas asks Bell to which she replies, \u201cI think we should do shows with other people.\u201d Bell then tries to console Thomas. \u201cRob, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share: a television series on UPN,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Thomas then chalks up her disinterest to the theme song. At the end of the teaser, Thomas shows up outside Kristen\u2019s window with a boombox in the air like John Cusack in the film Say Anything<\/em>, blasting Hynde\u2019s gritty rendition of \u201cWe Used To Be Friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Veronica Mars<\/em> was canceled after three seasons in 2007, the show was given second-life with a feature film in 2014 funded by Kickstarter campaign one year prior. Now, 12 years after the show was canceled, it will return for a fourth season where Mars will investigate a crime wave during spring break<\/a> in her fictional hometown of Neptune, California.<\/p>\n

Season 4 of Veronica Mars<\/em> premieres July 26th on Hulu.<\/p>\n

Soon after the teaser dropped, Dandy Warhols took to Twitter to re-share the original take:<\/p>\n
