The Republicans are apparently having a very hard time getting permission from bands to use their songs at their conventions and parties. Bruce has said no way. Heart is now really ticked off that they have been using "Barracuda" when Palin’s on stage. Nancy and Ann Wilson released this statement,

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.
