Semisonic band disputes use of their music by the White House on social networks

White House added the song to a publication of a man with his waist -handed wrists while searched at an airport and the video was subtitled with the lyrics of the song

The Semisonic Band contested the use of the White House of their successful song “Closing Time” in a publication on the official page that shows a deported to be handcuffed.

The White House added the song to a publication of a man with waist -handed wrists while searched at an airport and the video was subtitled with the lyrics of the song: “You don’t need to go home, but you can’t stay here.”

“We have not authorized or accepted that the White House would use our song at all. And no, they did not ask.

Asked about the ‘Post’, White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt said that “the whole government is clearly leaning on this president’s message.”

US Customs and Border Protection page shared the White House publication in X with the caption: “It’s time to close. We are making America safe again.”

“Closing Time” is from Semisonic’s 1998 album, ‘Feeling Strangely Fine’, which reached 43rd position on Billboard 200 albums. The song reached 4th place on Billboard Alternative Airplay table and was named for a better rock song Grammy.

The semisonic join a long list of artists who opposed their songs for Trump, including Abba, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Phil Collins, Pharrell, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Eddy Grant, Panic! At the Disco, Rem, Guns N ‘Roses, Celine Dion, Beyoncé and Adele.
