The hits just keep on coming from the Melania Trump speech last night.

Prior to her address, her husband, Donald Trump, dramatically strode on stage to introduce her with Queen's We Are the Champions booming through Quicken Loans Arena.

The song played again as Trump re-joined his wife on stage after the speech, which hours later would be consumed in controversy over charges a section of it was plagiarized from Michelle Obama's 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Queen may or may not take issue with the speech itself, but the British rock band made clear their feelings about the use of their anthem.

"An unauthorised use at the Republican Convention against our wishes," the band succinctly said on Twitter on Tuesday morning.

Sean Spicer, communications director for the Republican National Committee, disputed Queen's claim, however.

"Big fan but you are wrong @GOPconvention paid to license the use of song in the arena," Spicer tweeted.
