Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has asked Republican vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan’s camp not to play his hit song “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Ryan spokesman Brandon Buck wrote a pithy email in response: “We’re Not Gonna Play It anymore.”
Mr. Snider says in a statement that he does not support Mr. Ryan and denounced the use of the song, an anthemic 1984 hit for the glam metal band.
It joins a long list of songs that musicians have asked politicians to stop using. Most recently, the rock band Silversun Pickups last week asked presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to stop using the song “Panic Switch.” The campaign said the song’s use was inadvertent.
