LOL!!!Sorry McCain - You can't use "Eye of the Tiger" now Mr Rocky Theme old buddy!
John McCain's stereo is running on empty.

While Barack Obama's campaign seems to be overflowing with contemporary musical contributions, yet another group of rockers wants the Republican presidential candidate to quit using their song without permission. Or at all.
A member of the band Survivor has requested that the McCain-Palin campaign stop playing their signature Rocky III anthem "Eye of the Tiger" for any election-related purposes.
“Survivor has no affiliation with John McCain or Sarah Palin," guitarist Frank Sullivan said in a statement obtained by E! News.

"They have no right to use ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ in any way as part of their campaign. Using our music without our permission can give people the impression that we are supporters of their campaign—this is not the case. In light of this happening before, we would hope that the McCain/Palin camp would go through the proper channels in asking for permission for use of the song. Obviously once again they have chosen to disrespect artists’ rights.”

3. I just LOVE it how every time they look for "Working Class Hero" music for the campaign...
...the working class heroes-turned-rock stars behind these tunes put their feet down.

5. Some capitalist McCain is! If he wants something he steals it!
What kind of campaign advisors does he have. This is ridiculous. Its like they are playing music for the middle school dance.

23. Russell Hitchcock (singer for Air Supply) used to be a client of mine,
and I can't say for sure, but I seriously doubt he would support Republicans. Really didn't seem the type.

18. Ted Nugent is a McCain supporter. So why can't he just let them use his music?
Oh wait maybe not, considering some of the song/album titles that Ted Nugent has:

Out of Control (describes McCain-Palin rallies)

Decades of Destruction (describes Republican economic and financial policies)
