" Barracuda " was played at the 2008 Republican National Convention in reference to John McCain 's running mate , Sarah Palin , who claims she was known as " Sarah Barracuda " as a high school basketball star ( and as " Sarracuda " after the convention , a play on her name ) . The Wilson sisters disapproved , as they disagreed with Palin 's politics , and sent a cease-and-desist letter to John McCain 's campaign , despite the McCain campaign 's claim to have lawfully purchased rights to use the song
