From Wikipedia:

"In 1977 Heart's record label, Mushroom Records, fueled rumors that
Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers by running a full-page ad in Rolling
Stone showing the sisters bare-shouldered and suggestively captioned,
"It was only our first time". When a reporter suggested, backstage
after a live appearance, that the sisters were sex partners, Ann
returned to her hotel room and wrote the lyrics to "Barracuda" to
relieve her frustration.[4] The song became one of Heart's biggest
hits (#11, 1977)."

I think McCain/Palin should definitely stop playing Heart's version of
"Barracuda". They should respect their copyrights. But they can always
commission other groups, unknown ones, to create a song, totally
unrelated to the Heart version, where the words "Palin" and
"Barracuda" are in the lyrics. Hip hop.
