Wally One: According to Cas Conway Stewart in a Comment under the story at DutchNews.nl it's all nonsense:
It's amazing just how much news such nonsense can generate. This song, which was banned by MTV in the US for nudity and the supposed depiction of the rape of a nun on its original 1984 release, is not being used by the Clinton campaign. Apparently it was played by local organisers in Cedar Falls, Iowa, some eight songs before Clinton appeared on stage.
Hardly surprising then that Clinton's campaign team have not contacted Golden Earring to request their permission for its use. >> Comment made on:

When the Lady Smiles . . .
The Golden Earring, and When The Lady Smiles: still crazy after all those years. Live on stage at Pauw and Witteman, last tuesday, and still damn good too. I just wonder why those Americans still haven't discovered the original 1984 clip. If they do, it will be the end as Hillary Clinton's birthday song, I guess :-)

Marc Parent: Hillary Clinton uses Golden Earring song in campaign: music video features a nun being raped and a dog eating a man's brain.
