This '90s Band's Response To Donald Trump Using Their Song In A Deportation Video Is Going Mega Viral
Musicians have had quite the history of telling Donald Trump to stop playing their songs. Celine Dion put the kibosh on Trump playing "My Heart Will Go On" at his rallies. Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco told Trump to eff off and "stop playing my song." And Rihanna said ABSOLUTELY NOT to Trump using "Don't Stop the Music." Now, the '90s band Semisonic is going super viral for telling Trump he "missed the point entirely." You probably know them best for their song "Closing Time." Well, the official White House posted a video of shackled prisoners getting on a plane to the tune of "Closing Time." They captioned it with lyrics from the song. Semisonic responded to the post condemning the use of their song, and that response has been viewed million of times. Here's what they said: A bunch of people are telling the band to sue, but that doesn't seem like it will happen. The songwriter and lead singer of Semisonic, Dan Wilson, sold his entire music catalog to Primary Wave Music Publishing in 2021. Fun fact: That included the song rights to "Someone Like You" by Adele.
