It is a bit of a banger, in fairness.
Donald Trump is quickly running out of songs to play at his rallies.
Under a month ago, Prince’s estate released a statement in which they told Donald Trump not to play any of the late artist’s songs again.
The song ‘Purple Rain’ had been heard at a number of Trump rallies throughout America.

And now, Pharrell Williams has banned Trump from playing the song ‘Happy’ at his events.
According to CNN, Williams’ attorney contacted the US President on Monday.
Howard King wrote a cease and desist letter, which read: “On the day of the mass murder of 11 human beings at the hands of a deranged ‘nationalist,’ you played his song ‘Happy’ to a crowd at a political event in Indiana.
“There was nothing ‘happy’ about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday and no permission was granted for your use of this song for this purpose.
“Pharrell has not, and will not, grant you permission to publicly perform or otherwise broadcast or disseminate any of his music.”
Pharrell has now joined a list which includes Prince, Queen, Adele and many others who have requested that their music not be played at Trump’s rallies.
