John Mellencamp’s request to Republican presidential candidate John McCain to stop playing his songs on the campaign trail has worked - the senator has agreed to not use the rocker's music.

Mellencamp, a fervent Democrat, was distressed to hear his tunes "Our Country" and "Pink Houses" were being used as Republican anthems at McCain rallies.

And just days after the singer/songwriter's aides asked McCain to refrain from using the songs, the politician has now agreed to find alternative campaign music.
