Apparently when GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin took to the stage at the Republican National Convention, the folks in the soundbooth played Heart's 1970s hit "Barracuda." That apparently didn't sit so well with Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson who issued the following statement right before their record label slapped the Palin campaign with a cease-and-desist order:
"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. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
