The RNC did this 4 and 8 years ago if I recall. They have a terrible

Rush Limbaugh - My City Was Gone
opening theme of the Rush Limbaugh Show, an American conservative talk
radio franchise that started in 1984
...According to Rolling Stone, EMI took action after Limbaugh told a
pair of reporters in 1997 that "it was icing on the cake that it was
[written by] an environmentalist, animal rights wacko and was an anti-conservative song. ...EMI issued a cease and desist request that
Limbaugh stop using the song, which he did. When Hynde found out
during a radio interview, she said that her parents loved and listened
to Limbaugh and she did not mind its use. A usage payment was agreed
upon which she donated to PETA.[7][8] She later wrote to the
organization saying, "In light of Rush Limbaugh's vocal support of
PETA's campaign against the Environmental Protection Agency's foolish
plan to test some 3,000 chemicals on animals, I have decided to allow
him to keep my song, 'My City Was Gone', as his signature tune..."
