People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is severing its relationship with musician Captain Sensible after his former band, The Damned, licensed one of its songs for a Domino's Pizza advertisement.
"While we appreciate Captain Sensible's dedication to the vegetarian lifestyle - though he should really be vegan - and his contribution to PETA's past campaigns, we cannot have a spokesman who may be seen to condone the fast food industry and its reliance on factory farming," PETA UK director Elisa Allen said in a statement.
The fast food restaurant is promoting its supreme meat lovers' deep-dish pizza in U.S. television and radio spots with a rewritten version of the punk band's 1977 anthem "Neat, Neat, Neat."
The reworked lyrics begin "want a pan, want a deep-dish pan -- want a stuffed, want a stuffed-crust 'za" with the chorus of "neat, neat, neat" now changed to "meat, meat, meat".
"PETA's stand is understandable," Sensible said. "But the Damned are a democracy and we all needed the money, especially [former band mate] Rat [Scabies]."
