The Rock Hall of Famer said the song is a "powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use."

Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson has made public her distaste at what she says was the unauthorised usage of the Seattle band's 1977 hit single Barracuda during the military parade staged in Washington D.

They called it “Barracuda,” and in 1977 it went on to become a major hit for Heart, one of the most successful female-led groups in rock and roll. Last Saturday, the Wilson sisters got a new slap in the face when “Barracuda” was used without permission in U.S. president Donald Trump’s military showcase event in Washington, D.C.
