A song about getting laid...??

[Hissyspit]

Republicans never listen to lyrics.

FREE "All Right Now."

[ChisolmTrailDem]

1. I noticed that too. How odd a choice for that occasion. SMH. nt

[REP]

2. Very classy, family friendly song about fucking

Noticed that, too.

[MichiganVote]

3. Very Trump.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Followed with "You Can't Always get What you Want"

[Hissyspit]

5. Which The Rolling Stones told him to quit using back in May.

8. I think that's the bottom line.

Maybe for whatever reason they know Free/Bad Company won't sue them.

11. I really don't understand the use of that song.

What message are they trying to convey? If you assume most people only listen to/hear the words they know, I guess that would be:

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need

What message is Trump's campaign trying to send? You didn't want me, but I'm what you need anyway? Is that message aimed at other Republicans? Democrats? And how would Trump's ego accept the idea that he wasn't what they wanted? I am baffled by that song choice.

6. Doesn't really gel with the anti-pornography plank in the platform, does it.

Sex is bad, mmmmkay?

[Solly Mack]

7. They've been playing songs about getting laid all night.

I think it is code for "You're fucked if I win"

[tosh]

16. Exactly!

[anneboleyn]

18. My husband started laughing when they played AC/DC's "You shook me all night long"

In the Reagan era AC/DC was one of those "aligned with Satan" bands -- now the old farts with Trump baseball caps are gyrating to their lyrics: "she told me to come but I was already there," "the walls start shaking," etc etc

9. They're OK with *Republican men* getting laid

Hell, Trump was on the cover of Playboy, and spent most of his life boasting about the number of women he claims to have screwed. It's Those Other People they want to scold, shame or shun.

[Wounded Bear]

12. I've always kind of figured....

that if women can't get laid, neither can I.

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. Yeah, but they're hypocritical

They will forgive any (Republican) man who sleeps around, but not a woman. They want some women who will submit to them (see: Roger Ailes), but will shame them if they're open about sex and will do it when it suits them. "Double Standard" might as well be the name of their party.

[n2doc]

20. And using male escorts to do so

if the rumors out of Cleveland are true....

[melman]

10. Comment from Paul Rodgers

“Permission to use ‘All Right Now’ was never sought for or granted by me. My lawyer is dealing with this matter – Paul.”

13. That seems to be a trend here, with these CONS.

They take without asking. Because they can. Because they're entitled. So why not?

[yallerdawg]

17. GE Smith had to be punkin' them!

They also had the delegates dancing to AC/DC song including "You shook me all night long" and Rod Stewart "In the morning don't say you love me"!

The band must have been hearing some stories!

[caraher]

19. The Stanford band will not let this stand

Regardless of whether they have legal standing to object:

"Your use of the song 'All Right Now' as background music during the official introduction of your Vice Presidential pick is probably a violation of Free’s common law trademark rights, common law service mark rights, and trade name rights, and this letter constitutes a demand that you cease and desist any and all use of the song 'All Right Now' in any campaign-related events, functions, or shindigs," the band wrote in the Twitter letter. "You should probably forward this letter to your attorney, unless, like us, you somehow couldn’t scrape together enough cash or precious gems to hire one and have foolishly elected to represent yourself."

<snip>

"Our concern, Don (we’re calling you Don, hope that’s cool), is that your divisive rhetoric will tarnish the spirit of the song and all that it stands for," the letter continues. "We can certainly admire a good lampooning of the political system (something you’ve definitely accomplished), but even we can recognize when a joke has gone too far. And believe us, we know a thing or two about taking a joke too far."
