Donald Trump has been using an unlikely soundtrack at speeches and rallies for his presidential campaign: Twisted Sister's 1984 hit "We're Not Gonna Take It."
When Paul Ryan tried using the same track during his 2012 campaign for the vice presidency, he drew a stern rebuke from Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. So why does Trump—who is also running as a Republican—get away with the song usage?
The rebellion anthem might seem better suited to a disaffected teenager than a 69-year-old billionaire making a bid for the White House, but Snider says he won't be calling foul this time. In fact, he considers Trump's run to be in the spirit of the track.
"He asked me," Snider tells Newsweek. "He's a friend. He didn't want a Neil Young situation. So he contacted me and said, 'I'd like to use "We're Not Gonna Take It."' I said, 'Look, we're friends, and I really like you, but we don't see eye-to-eye on everything.' We do agree on a number of things, but not everything!"
