A growing number of musicians have ripped President Donald Trump, the Trump campaign, his supporters and other Republican candidates for helping themselves to songs for political purposes without permission from the artists, who often strongly oppose what the politicians stand for. Neil Young (who recently sued the Trump campaign), Adele, Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, R.E.M., Elton John, Queen, Tom Petty and Prince’s estate are among those who have complained.
Earlier this week, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister exploded after a small group of people stormed a Florida Target store, playing “We’re Not Gonna Take It” as they called for customers to take off their face masks. Snider tweeted that the group did not have permission to use the Twisted Sister song to promote a “moronic cause” and called the protesters “selfish assholes.”
Monty Python comedian Eric Idle blasted the National Republican Congressional Committee for swiping a song from the British troupe and threatened to sue the “lowlife thieving reprobates.”
Of all melodies, the NRCC helped itself to “The Lumberjack Song,” about a cross-dressing woodsman, for an attack ad in Iowa against Democratic incumbent Rep. Cindy Axne. She’s running comfortably against Republican challenger David Young, whom she unseated in the last e******n.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has stolen the Lumberjack Song for an ad against Cindy Axne in Iowa. While we sue these low life thieving reprobates lets V**E for Cindy to piss them off. Are all Republicans now lawless? Wh**ever happened to America?

Trump is also being sued by the group Up The River for singing to T*****r Joe, " Row, row, row your boat gently up the Stream". The group said that Trump implied that T*****r Joe was fighting an uphill, upstream battle against him and should just concede the e******n! Also, the In"site"ful Band was suing Trump too for playing "3 Blind Mice", implying that T*****r Joe, Heels Up Kamala and Bathhouse Barry Ovommit were the 3 Blind Mice.
