We’re one day in and Trump has already put even more people offside. And this time it has to do with the music selection at his Inaugural Freedom Ball.
I’m sure you remember Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” as the catchy theme song for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was the nifty little tune that had you secretly punching the air and singing it to yourself in the bathroom mirror.
Well it turns out an instrumental version of “Fight Song” was played by the Utah-based Piano Guys, at the Inaugural Ball on Friday night, without Platten’s permission.
“While I respect the office of the President and the peaceful transfer of power, I want to make clear that at no point did the Piano Guys ask for permission, nor did I or anyone on my team know of, approve or endorse their decision to play Fight Song tonight,” the singer-songwriter tweeted after witnessing the mashup of her song with “Amazing Grace”, at the Inaugural Ball.
The Piano Guys responded with: “Our performance tonight, which combined ‘Fight Song’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton or politics,” they tweeted. “We chose to perform our version of ‘Fight Song/Amazing Grace’ – it was not endorsed by Rachel Platten. We love Rachel and we love her song.”
So sorry not sorry, guys?
But the music related controversy doesn’t end there. Trump also chose Frank Sinatra’s iconic “My Way” for his first dance as President with his wife Melania.
When a Twitter fan asked Sinatra’s daughter, Nancy, her thoughts on reports that Trump has chosen the classic hit, she hit back with the hilarious tweet: “Just remember the first line of the song.”
‘My Way’ opens with the line “And now the end is near”.

Sinatra had earlier made it clear that her father would not have been a Trump supporter, when she tweeted that he would “never had supported a bigot”.
But after her “My Way” tweet went viral, Sinatra stated that her tweet was intended as a joke not a warning, tweeting: “I’m not sure why this became such a big deal. It was really just a joke.”
Still it looks like Nancy (and Frank) had the last laugh here.

I think it is the media that is getting the ordinary people offside.
Breitbart is not a credible source.
Did you get that from Faux News? Oh, breitbart. That far-right extremist site of nutters? That really says everything. Go take a read of Nancy Sinatra's account. She is VERY anti Trump. Congratulating him, like Obama did, like Hillary did, does not mean you agree with them. Nancy appears to be anti almost everything Trump is for. Want proof? Read her twitter account. This is an example. https://twitter.com/NancySi...
Oh give me a break! If someone had composed a special song praising HRC for President Trump to dance to with his gorgeous wife, you'd still find something to complain about. He's the president! Get over it! Apply the same standards of bitchiness to everyone else that you do to the Trump family. I don't even like the man but your sniping and whining's just getting boring now.
'I don't even like the man but your sniping and whining's just getting boring now.'
Well if I were you, I'd prepare to start skipping a lot of the content on this site. Absolutely no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you read and comment on these articles. And make no mistake, Trump is going to be proving a lot of fodder for content in the coming four years, not just for this site, but for everyone even remotely involved in the media. You might as well start now.
Really? You seem to be going overboard trying to excuse away and deflect all these 'coincidences'. If you can't see how the inclusion of Hillary's CAMPAIGN THEME SONG was deliberate, you're in denial. If Obama played his opponent's theme song at his reception, you'd be carrying on about it. Sorry but all this deflecting and attempting to excuse away it all is rather transparent.
