It's meant to inspire, to get the crowd going, to show voters that yes, really, I do have a personality.

But mixing pop with politics does not always go to plan.

After Theresa May's Dancing Queen robot (yes, you read that right, and you can see that girl, watch that scene here), we take a look at a few other times politicians have used music in an attempt to up their cool credentials.

Tony Blair

Tony Blair promised that Things Can Only Get Better back in 1997, with a little help from D:Ream.

Mr Blair was also famously backed by Noel Gallagher, who visited the then PM at Downing Street.

Cool Britannia indeed. Enjoy a bit of '90s nostalgia here...

Theresa May

We're yet to hear what ABBA have to say about the PM's Dancing Queen dancing, but if they're not happy then it won't be the first time she has come under fire from a musician.

DJ and producer Calvin Harris wasn't best pleased when This Is What You Came For, a collaboration with Rihanna, was used ahead of her speech at last year's Tory conference, saying the song was not approved.

"I do not support nor condone happy songs being played at such a sad event," he tweeted.

Florence Welch was also miffed about the use of her cover of You Got The Love, politely tweeting: "If the Conservative party could refrain from using our music in future. x"

Hopefully for Mrs May, ABBA won't feel the same - although they did once sue a Danish far-right party over their use of Mamma Mia.

UKIP

Remember Chumbawumba? They threatened to sue when then UKIP leader Nigel Farage walked on stage as the band's track Tubthumping played at the party's annual conference in 2011.

Band member Dunstan Bruce told The Guardian his reaction to the news was one of "total and absolute outrage and horror".

Ronald Reagan

Bruce Springsteen spoke out against Reagan using his 1984 hit Born In The USA after saying no when he was asked for permission by an adviser.

He went on to reference Springsteen in a speech, saying "America's future... rests in the message of hope in the songs of a man so many young Americans admire: New Jersey's own Bruce Springsteen".

"I think people have a need to feel good about the country they live in. But what's happening, I think, is that that need - which is a good thing - is getting manipulated and exploited," The Boss told Rolling Stone.

Donald Trump

The US president doesn't have many celebrity fans, so it's not surprising that he has been in trouble with more than a few musicians who haven't been best pleased upon hearing him using their hits.

Here are just a few...

Adele

"Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning," her spokesman said after the star found out Mr Trump, the then Republican presidential candidate, was using Rolling In The Deep at rallies in 2016.

She later urged people not to vote for him during a concert in Miami.

The Rolling Stones

You Can't Always Get What You Want, especially if you're Donald Trump and what you want is to play The Rolling Stones to get your message across.

The band asked him to stop using the song at rallies in 2016, although he continued to do so.

Aerosmith

Aerosmith have clashed with Trump several times over his use of their music at events.

In 2015, he received cease-and-desist notices after using Dream On, with attorneys for lead singer Steven Tyler saying he did "not have our client's permission to use Dream On or any of Tyler's other songs".

The band reportedly issued another warning earlier this year after he used Livin' On The Edge at a West Virginia rally.

Elton John

"Any use of his music should not be seen as an endorsement of Donald Trump by Elton," the star's publicist said in 2016.

It came after Trump used his 1972 hit, Rocket Man, for campaign purposes.
