10 Controversial Campaign Songs Not Endorsed by the Artist

6. Don’t Take Heart

John McCain and Sarah Palin tried to co-opt Heart’s rousing song “Barracuda” for their campaign ditty. When sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson caught wind of that, they balked. They released several statements, including “The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission.” Another one stated, “Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image.” Nancy Wilson also declared, “I think it’s completely unfair to be so misrepresented. I feel completely [expletive] over.”
