The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) released ‘Das Isch d’SVP’ ('That’s the SVP') on Monday as a promotional tool ahead of the October Federal Elections. The song’s chorus is uncannily like that of the 1979 Sister Sledge song.

“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation”, he tweeted. “I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People’s party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions!”

#story of the day:
The #Swiss People's Party #SVP #UDC in #Switzerland released a campaign video using a sound-alike version of "We Are Family" to promote whatever values they stand for.
Nile Rodgers took to social media to condemn the #SVP use of the Sister Sledge single which he wrote & produced.
#NileRodgers made the following statement:
“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
“I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People’s Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions! Hipgnosis Songs, Sony Music Pub and Warner Chappell are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.”

Co-produced by #NileRodgers of #Chic, it was recorded in late 1982 at the #PowerStation in New York City. With the assistance of engineer #BobClearmountain, Rodgers transformed the song from its #folk origins to a #dance number through studio effects and new musicians Bowie had yet to work with.

The chord changes are a lot more interesting than what's been happening [in other #music fields] over the last few years.
And that's made me excited, because I come from a #jazz background, so to hear chord changes like that is really cool. They’re not afraid, which is great to me."
