Sen. John McCain’s use of the Heart song “Barracuda” after his acceptance speech Thursday night is causing water-brash with the Seattle-based soothe group.

Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson posted a message today on their Web site condemning the use of their 1977 come off successful at the Republican assembly. The poem was played when McCain, the circle’s presidential nominee, was joined onstage after the speech by his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

The sisters said their representatives, Universal Music Publishing and SONY BMG, have sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign to not use the song as the congratulatory radical verb for Palin.

Palin reportedly earned the nickname “Sarah Barracuda” as a high-school basketball performer in Alaska.

Republican officials didn’t ask for warrant to use the song and would not have been given the OK if they had done so, the Wilsons said.

In a statement posted today on the EW.com Web site, the Wilsons wrote:

“Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ not one longer be used to promote her image. The poem ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late ’70s as a scathing rant against the dead, corporate nature of the symphony business, particularly for women. (The ‘barracuda’ represented the craft.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there’s mockery in Republican strategists’ superior to make appliance of it there.”
