10. “True Colors” — Cyndi Lauper

The latest artist to pull her song “True Colors” from an attack ad on Republican hopeful, Mitt Romney. She told fans on her Twitter page, “Got a phone call saying my version of ‘True Colors’ was used in commercial trashing Romney. 1st, I never approved it. Not that I am a supporter, I’m not. But I wouldn’t have wanted that song to be used in that way. Whoever used my song should have asked, and 2nd, realized that Mr Romney can discredit himself without the use of my work.” [NME]
