21 Politicians Who Got Called Out For Using Campaign Songs Without Permission

George Bush used the Bobby McFerrin hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as his presidential campaign theme in 1988 without permission and was asked to stop by the singer (who was a supporter of democrat candidate Michael Dukakis). McFerrin publicly protested the use of his song, even going so far as to stop performing it during his concerts that year. The Bush campaign eventually dropped the tune.
