Harry Shearer, who portrays Spinal Tap bassist Derek Smalls, declared the song off-limits in a hilarious tweet: "Not a band to be outdone, Spinal Tap is demanding that the Trump campaign refrain from playing 'Sex Farm' at their rallies." This humorous take addresses the appropriateness of a song with lyrics parodying the objectification of women, given Trump's controversial history with sexual misconduct, making the ban both poignant and entertaining.
"Sex Farm" is an '80s hard rock pastiche with lyrics that parody the objectification of women that was centric to that decade's rock/metal culture. While it's obviously not a song any political campaign would actually play, the joke is that it's a pretty apt depiction of Donald Trump's history of sexual misconduct and misogyny: "Sex farm woman / I'm gonna mow you down / Sex farm woman / I'll rake and hoe you down." This encapsulates the ridiculousness of Trump's associations with such a satirical tune.
