To the strains of the classic rock "Barracuda", the RNC closed its show last night. 

Now the song's authors, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, are making sure their song is not associated with the Alaskan Governor turned vice presidential pick.

Heart sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign Thursday afternoon after their hit "Barracuda" was used twice without permission as the anthem for the vice presidential candidate after her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

Gov. Sarah Palin's nickname was "Barracuda" on her basketball team in high school.

The GOP campaign officials did not get permission from Heart, Universal Music Publishing or Sony BMG.

"We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music," the Heart duo said in a statement. "We hope our wishes will be honored."

The Wilsons added that permission to use the song was never requested.

The Wilsons issued a statement to Entertainment Weekly.

"I think it's completely unfair to be so misrepresented," Nancy Wilson told the magazine Thursday night. "I feel completely f--ked over."

Her reaction was followed up by an email sent by her and Ann to EW.

"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image...[It] was written in the late '70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women...There's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
