Eddy Grant — the musician behind the nearly chart-topping 1983 hit “Electric Avenue” (it spent five weeks at #2) — is suing Donald Trump and his campaign for copyright infringement. As Billboard reports, Trump’s campaign used “Electric Avenue” in a video that was posted online and shared from Trump’s Twitter account last month. The clip uses the song as a soundtrack for an animated ad depicting a cartoon version of Joe Biden.
