The '80s rock band Heart is not happy about John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin using their song "Barracuda" at the Republican National Convention. When the Alaska governor was a high school basketball champ, her teammates nicknamed her “Sarah Barracuda.”
"The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission. We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored," the band said in a statement on Thursday.
Last week, right before McCain introduced Palin in Dayton, Ohio, he played the song "Right Now” by Van Halen. A few hours later, Van Halen’s publicist told MTV News that the hopeful was never granted permission to use the track, and had permission been sought, it would never have been granted.
This February, John Mellencamp told McCain to stop using his songs, "Our Country" and "Pink Houses," on the campaign trial. Anyway, I thought this was a great opportunity to break out the video for "Barracuda"...the song rocks and Ann was pretty hot back then...
Sarah Palin has come a long way since her Sports Reporting days.
