Key Facts
Loggins on Monday said in a statement that his song, originally performed for the 1986 movie “Top Gun,” was used in the video without his permission, adding « I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. »
When Forbes sent an email to the White House asking for comment on Loggins’ statement, and asking whether the video would be taken down, the press office responded with a single image: A photo of actors Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards from the film with text overlay reading, “I feel the need for speed.”
The video was still up as of Monday at 3:30 p.
