Well that tune sure wasn't going to last very long.

(I got it recorded to DVD)

They should be happy that their tired old song is reaching an audience.

As soon as I heard that song, I knew that this would be the next headline.

Now I'm just waiting for John Fogerty to do the same, for their use of his "Centerfield."

Ann and Nancy Wilson are two used up, drug ravaged, knuckleheads who should thank God they live in America.

They sure made plenty of dough here.

And that is why you will only see c&w acts at republican events.
Which is fine if you do like c&w.

Perhaps the RNC could use “The Barracuda” by the soul group Alvin Cash & the Crawlers, from 1965.

Shouldn’t these has-beens be happy somebody even remembers them?

“Oh, OK. We promise. We won’t use it during the 2008 Republican convention any more.”

I love Sarahcuda, but those gals couldn’t bear the truth that Stevie Nick’s lipo doc was booked and couldn’t be seen before the inaugural.

I wondered why they didn’t just get Gretchen Wilson to perform it live. She does an incredible job on that song, and she was already there (she performed at the convention on Wednesday).

See her sing Barracuda here:

I wondered about that when I heard the song playing during the convention coverage. Most Hollywood celebrities will give the knee-jerk reaction of "cease and desist because otherwise someone might think we're Republicans".

BTW, a person can check their library's interlibrary loan system to have music, DVD's and books sent to them for no charge. For those who may want to listen to Hollywood's product but not put money in the pockets of the liberal elite.

ROFL I think McCain/Palin should immediately stop playing that song at the Republican National Convention.

I don’t know, but I suspect they pay something like BPI or ASCAP (I assume those are both still around) to be able to use music at their to do. In which case, I don’t think these women have a case.

I just heard the opposite on WLS 890 radio, Chicago. Jerry Agar said they were thrilled their song was used!

This wouldn't be the same Heart that moved to Vancouver so as to avoid draft of some of their effeminate male band members. I also think that they are going to remix a couple of songs such as:

What about fudge?

Cans of Tuna

Crazy on Food

Sandwich Man

time has not been kind to the Wilson sisters, who have not aged gracefully... (seen here with Fergie)...the best thing that could happen to them is there song gets played with a foxy lady like Palin....

Saw them play at the MidState Fair a few years ago. They should be happy that something makes them even somewhat relevant again. Ann could still sing, but Nancy’s guitar chops are long long gone. Too much drugs and other excess sure takes a toll. Funny, though. Styx was the opening act and absolutely blew them away.

I left early during Heart’s performance. I just couldn’t listen anymore. I was glad the whole show only cost me 28 bucks.

That is a great tune, and I loved them playing it last night. What a wonderful way to wrap up the convention. And if it pisses off some liberals - bonus!!

I think it is funny that Candace Bergen is scared...Talk about out of touch. Pallin and even McCain know what real people are. Hollywood so called stars are sinking their own boat. I can’t hardly stand to watch many movies these days
