Yet another band is complaining about John McCain's use of their song to promote his campaign.
This time, it's the Foo Fighters.
The rockers sent out a missive telling the Republican presidential candidate to stop using "My Hero."
They said they learned it was being use through news reports.
"The saddest thing about this is that `My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential," the band said in a statement.
"To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song."
The band noted it's not the first time McCain has been told to stop using a song.
John Mellencamp, Heart and Jackson Browne have also complained - Browne even filed a lawsuit.
