"Cry Little Sister" is a song written by English singer-songwriter Gerard McMahon (under the pseudonym Gerard McMann) and Michael Mainieri, and performed by McMahon for the soundtrack to the 1987 film The Lost Boys, which peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart.[5] The original song failed to chart, although it charted in Australia and the United Kingdom in 2003 when the track was remixed.
The track has been covered by several other bands. Aiden recorded a cover for the soundtrack to the 2008 sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe[6] and appeared again in the closing credits of Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010). In 2010, Seasons After scored a top twenty hit on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs with their version of the track,[7] after it was included on their 2010 album Through Tomorrow. Eight years later, Marilyn Manson released their cover version as a single after it was featured in a promotional trailer for the television series Titans.
