Johnny Marr, guitarist for the classic 1980s British band The Smiths, wasnt very happy with Donald Trump on Tuesday.
After Marr discovered that the bands song, Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want, has been played at Trump rallies, he took to X, formerly Twitter, to declare that wasnt what he wanted.
The guitarist made the discovery after a post by ABC News Soo Rin Kim noted that the 80s band is played fairly often at Trump rallies.
She then included a clip from a September rally in South Dakota as proof.
Marr saw Kims post and wasnt happy at all.
AhhrightOK. I never in a million years wouldve thought this could come to pass, he said on X . Consider this shit shut right down right now.
Marr isnt the first musician who hasnt wanted their music associated with the former president and current criminal defendant. R.E.M. , Aerosmith , The Village People and Rihanna have also demanded Trump not play their music at rallies.
Many people on social media supported Marr, including Spinal Tap and Better Call Saul actor Michael McKean.
Others noted that playing a song called Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want at a rally for a man known for his narcissism was pretty dang hilarious.
While some thought there were more appropriate Smiths songs.
