10 Controversial Campaign Songs Not Endorsed by the Artist

2. R.E.M. Doesn’t Feel Fine About This

You’d think candidates would know better than to mess with outspoken musician Michael Stipe and his band R.E.M. A rally featuring GOP candidates Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz blared their 1987 hit “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine).” Stipe didn’t mince words in a statement to the The Daily Beast that said, “Go f*ck yourselves, the lot of you — you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men. Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign.” No sugarcoating there.
