"Takin' Care Of Business". I kid you not.

Legendary rocker Randy Bachman said Stephen Harper didn't get permission from him or his publisher to use his classic "Takin' Care of Business" as the theme song for a major speech on Monday. He said if the prime minister had asked, he would have probably said "no."

Bachman had strong words for the PM in explaining why he likely would not have given his blessing for use of the Bachman-Turner Overdrive track, which Harper used as intro and exit music for an address marking the start of a new session of Parliament.

"I don't think he's taking care of business for the right people or the right reasons," Bachman said.

They do take very good care of business--big business. And at the expense of everyone else.
