The White Stripes are planning to take "strong action" against the US Air Force Reserve, as they've accused them of re-recording and using their song "Fell In Love With The Girl" without getting permission.
The song in question was used in a commercial during the Super Bowl at the weekend (Sunday, Feb 7) and the pair have since issued a statement on their website, which reads:
"
We believe our song was re-recorded and used without permission of the White Stripes, our publishers, label or management.
"The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve's presenting this advert with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support."
The statement continued: "The White Stripes support this nation's military, at home and during times when our country needs and depends on them.
"We simply don't want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict, and hope for a safe and speedy return home for our troops."
Thanks for the report to Angryape.com.
