One of the most annoying things we see play out during political contests is when singers and bands get their knickers in a twist over a candidate they don’t like using their music, whether it be during a campaign stop, in an ad, or what have you.
For instance, I remember in 2008 when Heart had a near-complete meltdown over then-GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin using their wildly popular 1977 hit “Barracuda” (which was Palin’s nickname in Alaska) as her theme song at McCain-Palin events. One of the band’s lead singers, Nancy Wilson, wigged out when talking about the band’s initial demand to get them to stop using their music.
“I think it’s completely unfair to be so misrepresented,” Wilson whined at the time. “I feel completely f***ed over.”
