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.

Didn't something like this happen with John Lennon's "Imagine" and the "Expelled" movie?

Tom Petty sent her a similar note, about her using American Girl.

And the Replacements or the Refreshments (whoever they are) have been complaining about Rush Limbaugh for years.  Hasn't stopped him yet.

The Pretenders.  If I remember right Rush gave a pile of money to some left-wing organization in order to win the rights in perpetuity.  Good call Rush.  His show wasn't the same without that song.  Whenever I hear that bass intro it just does something for me.  Also, again if I'm remembering right, Chrissy Hynde--the singer--said that her dad was a big fan of Rush and that influenced her decision to let Rush use the song.

Katrina who?  Beyotch, it's putting royalty checks in your mailbox 25 years past the point you should have stopped earning them.  STFU and admire your bank account.

They get royalties from Nick Jr.  How do I know?  I've got a 3 1/2-year-old. 

I don't mind the song--it's a bouncy, semi-mindless tune that's catchy.

The Pretenders, and Chrissie Hynde has said she gets paid for the use of the song so she doesn't care that Rush uses it, she also said years ago her Parents are fans of Rush. :-)

Chrissie Hynde is obviously a mature grown-up.

She's also a crazy moonbat lib that was saying not long ago how much she wanted the US to lose the war on Terror. Stupid ****.

She is also the reason Ray Davies and his brother no longer speak to each other after The Kinks broke up and Ray divorced his wife to marry her.

just look at all the moonbat RS readers with their comments in the link of the OP... no doubt they are voting for Zero in 2012.

What % of them are members of DU? I am going to gamble at about 94%...

Boston did this when, IIRC, McCain used one of their songs.

I can't stand to listen to Boston anymore. Not because I liked McCain that much, but because I finally realized Boston was nothing but a bunch of dumbasses.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Katrina Leskanich was born in Topeka, Kansas and has been a longtime resident of the United Kingdom. That says it all right there...

In June, 2011, the group threatened legal action against U.S. presidential candidate Michele Bachmann for playing their music on her campaign trail. A statement on the group's official website reads: "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." Leskanich stated that she wants to ban the Republican from using the track because she does not agree with her politics.

Typical liberal, when someone has politics you disagree with and uses one of your songs, ban them.  ::)
Wonder what Katrina's DU name is... :-)
