Kenny Loggins demands Trump not use song Danger Zone from meme blasting Dems
“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.”
Singer Kenny Loggins has demanded that an AI video shared by President Donald Trump on social media depicting him spraying protestors with what appears to be fecal matter from a jet be taken down, as the video uses his famed song, Danger Zone.
Loggins told Variety, "This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately."
"I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ — that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us," he added.
The video appears to pay homage to the 1986 film Top Gun, a film that featured Danger Zone. A fighter jet is seen in the AI video taking off a runway with the phrase "King Trump" written on the side and then cutting to Trump sitting inside with a crown on his head. A brown substance begins coming out from the bottom of the jet, and the video cuts to various protestors in a crowd being covered in the brown substance.
Variety noted that in response to their request for comment, “a representative for the White House simply sent a 'Top Gun' meme that reads: 'I feel the need for speed.'"
One of those who gets covered in the brown substance appeared to be Democrat influencer Harry Sisson, who wrote on X, "can a reporter please ask Trump why he posted an AI video of himself dropping poop on me from a fighter jet? That would be great thanks."
Vice President JD Vance wrote in response, "I’ll ask him for you Harry."
"President Trump shares an AI video of himself wearing a crown, dropping poop from a fighter jet onto Harry Sisson at a protest. This is wild," wrote Texas Youth Summit founder Christian Collins, adding a laughing emoji at the end.
