Failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is paying $25,000 for playing "Eye of the Tiger" at a rally last year without the band's permission, CNNMoney has discovered.
Huckabee played the triumphant song by the band Survivor at a rally he held for Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
But Huckabee never paid for the rights -- so his campaign got sued for copyright infringement.
He recently agreed to a confidential settlement with Rude Music. That company is owned by the Survivor guitarist who cowrote the song, Frankie Sullivan.

He'll just wait next election cycle to make the money back from his book tour.

Would you want your song associated with a local clerk who decided to be a marty against the government by refusing to obey the law?

[Cartman86]

The arts fucking hate Republicans and it's hilarious.

 

[FStop7]

Hucklebumps paid for more playing an authorized song than he did for unleashing a murderer.

There was no thought process going on in your head when you posted this, I'm assuming.

 

[jb1234]

It'll never happen but I wish he'd pass the fee on to Kim Davis.

 

[johnsmith]

Fuckabee doesn't have this kind of money! Man's gotta eat.

 

[Silent Chief]

Way to go Frankie.

I feel like listening to it now.

 

[FStubbs]

GOP types should stick to country music where more of the artists like them.

Either that or see about getting music licensed.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Wasn't he sued by Adele too for this?

I'll bet it makes Republicans bullshit that 99.999% of good rock music was made by liberals.

This belongs in the cringe thread.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I know some artists not wanting Trump to play their stuff either, hope he gets sued too.

But nice to hear him having to pay up, what a slime ball.

 

[JustenP88]

I like the thought of a montage of Kim Davis shadow boxing and running up the steps of that Philadelphia whateverthefuck building while this song plays.

She probably wouldn't make it up half way and then come crashing down.
