"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 repugican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
They sent the gop a cease-and-desist notice telling them to stop playing the damn thing. of course, that didn't stop the repugicans, who played the song again after John McPain accepted his party's presidential nomination —and this decision fired up Nancy Wilson so much, she rang up entertainment weekly's Whitney Pastorek to say, "I think it's completely unfair to be so misrepresented... I feel completely fucked over."
