Like a Fish Out of Water

That's kinda what it felt like when the powers that be behind the curtains of the RNC (didn't mean for that to rhyme) played '70s hit "Barracuda" after Sarah Palin's speech last week. How do these people even know such a kick ass, Guitar Hero III-worthy song?

Well Ann and Nancy Wilson, the members of the band (Heart), have asked the Republican party to stop using their music. "I think it's completely unfair to be so misrepresented," Nancy Wilson told Entertainment Weekly. "I feel completely fucked over... [Barracuda] was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women ... There's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there." Find out who else wants the campaign to stop using their music here.
