Meanwhile, Lee Greenwood himself performed “Holdin’ a Good Hand” in between speakers on the second night, with delegates dancing in the aisles. The Grammy award-winning singer also signed copies of his “God Bless the USA Bible,” which have been on sale at the convention all week. (Copies signed by Trump are available online for $1,000).
On the last night of the convention, pro wrestler Hulk Hogan walked out onto the RNC stage carrying an American flag with “Real American” by Rick Derringer playing in the background. The song is known as Hogan’s WWE theme song, and a montage featuring his storied career also played on the jumbotron above him.
Ahead of Trump’s address, Kid Rock performed his 2000 song “American Bad A–,” substituting some of the lyrics with references to the attempted assassination of the former president on Saturday.
“I need everyone to put a fist up in the air!” Rock said as he jumped onto the stage. “Say Fight, Fight, Fight! Say Trump, Trump!”
During his much anticipated speech at the convention, Trump thanked Rock for his performance.
“Thank you, Kid Rock. Also known as Bob,” he said.
Country singer Chris Janson performed his 2015 single “Buy Me a Boat,” as well as “Every Day of The Week,” on the first day. And the music video for “Trump Trump Baby” by Forgiato Blow, which was shown on the jumbotron, featured model and TV personality Amber Rose, who was also a speaker at the RNC.
Over the years, some musical artists have explicitly asked the Trump campaign not to use their music at his events, including Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna and more.
Here’s what the RNC has been listening to:
