Tom Petty has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, demanding that she stop using his 1977 hit “American Girl” at campaign appearances.

Bachmann used the track during her Monday stop in Waterloo, Iowa.

It was a rough day for Bachmann in Iowa. She also confused movie legend John Wayne with serial killer John Wayne Gacy and John Adams with John Quincy Adams.

According to Rolling Stone, Petty also asked George W. Bush not to use his song “I Won’t Back Down” during his 2000 campaign. He did, however, allow Hillary Clinton to use “American Girl” during the 2008 campaign.

He has no legal standing to make such a demand, dumbass. Nor did Heart with 'Barracuda'.

It depends upon what Fair Use agreement he has with the licensing agent. If the licensing agent allows an artist to veto the use of a song, then he most certainly does have that right.

If you knew anything about contract law then you'd no this but, no worries, we all know that you no nothing abour everything so you're safe there.

And GO has you on bozo, Boofer.

Kind of funny how the Bachmann kooks of the world attack the mainstream culture yet incorporate it into their campaigns. She could not find some low level talent Country singer who sings about pick up trucks and use his music?

The irony of a leftwingnut posting the above is delicious.

Bachmann's back up choice, Walking on Sunshine, has not gone over well with Katrina and the Waves either.

"Katrina & The Waves – whose 1985 song “Walking On Sunshine” was played by Michele Bachmann at a South Carolina campaign rally on Tuesday – have issued a statement on their website:

Katrina & The Waves would like it to be known that they do not endorse the use of ‘Walking On Sunshine’ by Michele Bachmann and have instructed their lawyers accordingly. …

Rolling Stone has received a statement from Katrina Leskanich, former lead singer of Katrina & The Waves:

As the singer of ‘Walking on Sunshine’ I don’t endorse its use by Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign. I’ve performed ‘Walking on Sunshine’ for so many years in so many different countries that it’s become the one constant in my life and the one thing I can count on to bring happiness to myself and others. The song is used in commercials and movies as a vehicle for a feel good moment or empowerment but if I disagree with the policies, opinions or platforms for its use, I’ve no choice but to try and defend the song and prevent its misuse. Music can be both powerful and moving and sometimes even a little dangerous."

Cant' these people find anything by Ted Nugent to play?
