Spinal Tap have become the latest artist to ban Donald Trump from playing their music at his rallies.The former US President has faced backlash from a number of artists in recent months for allegedly using their songs without permission during his presidential campaigns.Now, it appears that even fictional bands are warning him about incorporating their tracks, with Spinal Tap preemptively demanding that he thinks twice before using their song ‘Sex Farm’.Taking to X/Twitter, Harry Shearer – who plays the band’s bassist Derek Smalls – told Trump that the song was off-limits. “Not a band to be outdone, Spinal Tap is demanding that the Trump campaign refrain from playing ‘Sex Farm’ at their rallies,” he wrote.Not a band to be outdone, Spinal Tap is demanding that the Trump campaign refrain from playing “Sex Farm” at their rallies.— Harry Shearer (@theharryshearer) September 6, 2024While it is clear that the song isn’t one that the former POTUS would actually consider using at his rallies, the tweet does seem to contain a nod to the allegations of sexual misconduct and misogyny that have surrounded the billionaire in the past.It comes as the track is a play on many of the hard rock tracks of the ‘80s, and parodies the overly-sexualised lyrics of the era. “Sex farm woman / I’m gonna mow you down / Sex farm woman / I’ll rake and hoe you down,” they sing in the chorus.Shearer also jokingly barred Trump from using another one of their tracks.

After a follower replied to the initial tweet asking if the song ‘Big Bottom’ was still “up for grabs”, Shearer responded: “He thinks so”.He thinks so.— Harry Shearer (@theharryshearer) September 6, 2024The updates comes in light of various artists barring Trump from using their music during.
