Barracuda!

Many, many years ago (you do the research, pally!), I was in high school when the group Heart first came out, and my friends and I were big fans. In suburban (DC) Maryland, we were a bit ahead of the curve on these Pacific Northwest rockers, but by the time their second album Little Queen arrived, they were big everywhere. It's nice to hear that they have their heads in the right places, too. The Wilson sisters have asked the McCain/Palin campaign to cease and desist using their song "Barracuda" in their public appearances--Palin was known as "Sarah the Barracuda" in high school--but unfortunately, they no longer have the rights to enforce that request. So instead, at least one of the songwriters, Roger Fisher, will be sending checks to the Obama/Biden campaign in response. In effect, as Fisher says, "...the Republicans are now supporting Obama"!
Kick It Out!

Maybe they should just re-write the song as Barrack-coulda" and re-release it?
