This is our country. But singer John Mellencamp’s vision of the United States of America doesn’t jive with that of a prominent Republican namesake.

John Mellencamp has asked John McCain to cease playing his terrific song “Our Country” as well as his 1980s hit “Pink Houses” and other songs, because he doesn’t exactly approve of the GOP senator’s agenda.

“Are you sure you want to use [John's] music?” a letter from Mellencamp’s reps to McCain reads. “Logic says the facts might prove to be an embarrassment.”

John McCain shouldn’t hold his breath for a John Mellencamp endorsement.

“If [McCain is] such a true conservative, why [is he] playing songs that have a very populist pro-labor message written by a guy who would find no argument if you characterized him as left of center?”

Reports say John McCain staff members have responded to the singer’s request by pulling the songs from its campaign trail playlist.

John Mellencamp, 56, who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this March, had been backing Democrat John Edwards.
