Say Yes, Madonna

  • Submitted by: Kenneth Gibson, Cunninghame North, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 19 February 2015
  • Motion reference: S4M-12369

That the Parliament supports the campaign launched by the North Ayrshire-based professional wrestler, Graeme Stevely, AKA Grado, to allow him to continue using his signature entrance theme, Like a Prayer, by Madonna; recognises that the current Pro Wrestling Elite Heavyweight Champion, Grado, is due to compete in the SSE Hydro against the veteran American wrestler, Al Snow, later in 2015; understands that this match was due to be shown live on US television, complete with Grado’s now famous crowd-pleasing entrance, but that shortly before this deal was concluded, the management team for Madonna denied use of the song; understands that the campaign mounted by Grado is gaining momentum and is now top of the trending list on UK Twitter, and considers that, due to the strength of public feeling, Madonna and her management team should indeed say Yes, grant use of the song and let a new US audience witness the celebrated Grado entrance.
