It's the nuts of the tiger

Newt Gingrich is getting sued over the classic "Eye of the Tiger," best performed by Survivor.

So much for all that momentum swing he had in South Carolina. It's the latest in a backlash against conservative candidates using songs at political rallies and campaign stops.

While I can not for the life of me remember the candidate (and I'm too lazy to look him up), music group Boston sued (insert mysterious candidate's name here) for copyright infringement during the last presidential election when "More Than A Feeling" was played at several campaign rallies. 

It seems like either the angered artists are using copyright infringement as a front to show their disapproval of a political candidate (usually conservative, how interesting), or they are genuinely upset at the use of their song without permission. I'm betting on the former, but I could be wrong. 

Maybe if Gingrich uses the SNL version of "Eye of the Tiger" he would have more luck--with supporters and to showcase him as a humorous guy.
