Watch your back, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter! Another 2012 Republican candidate’s attempt at making sweet music has appeared on the internet, and it’s a doozy– introducing Sunday Morning*, a gospel album recorded by former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain. Precious little is know about the 13-track album, which appeared on the internet today, but the soulful baritone crooning is certainly worth a listen. 
 
 Cain had certainly not mentioned anything about a past life as a gospel singer, but a few tracks off of Sunday Morning made their way online today via the Daily Caller. It’s mostly standard gospel fare and mostly slow tracks at that, with one standout single: “This is the Day,” a fast-paced track reminiscent of “Footloose” that certainly wins the prize for funnest danceable track on the album. 
 
 It is worth noting that it not yet 100% certain this is Herman Cain– Dave Weigel notes that the Cain campaign has yet to comment on the album, but “it’s real, it was published 15 years ago by GLC Music, Selah Sound Production & Melodic Praise Records, and it is not being distributed now by the Cain campaign.” With McCotter on guitar, Cain on vocals and maybe some keytar work by Jon Huntsman, we’ve got ourselves a band! 
 
 Below the Daily Caller’s song widget (Weigel found a couple of more in downloadable format). Really, give “This is the Day” a listen!: 
 
 
 
 
 
 *not to be confused with the Maroon 5 song of the same name. 
 
 Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com ||||| Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's campaign denied allegations Sunday that he was twice accused of sexual harassment while he was the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.

 In a statement to The Associated Press, his campaign disputed a Politico report that said Cain had been accused of sexually suggestive behavior toward at least two female employees. 
 
 The report said the women signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them five-figure financial payouts to leave the association and barred them from discussing their departures. Neither woman was identified. 
 
 The report was based on anonymous sources and, in one case, what the publication said was a review of documentation that described the allegations and the resolution. 
 
 Cain's campaign told the AP that the allegations were not true, and amounted to unfair attacks. 
 
 "Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain," spokesman J.D. Gordon said in a written statement. "Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain's tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts." 
 
 Asked if Cain's campaign was denying the report, Gordon said, "Yes." 
 
 "These are baseless allegations," Gordon said in a second interview later Sunday evening. "To my knowledge, this is not an accurate story." 
 
 Cain plans to continue with several planned appearances in Washington on Monday. He is slated to discuss his tax plan at the American Enterprise Institute, appear at the National Press Club and hold a healthcare briefing on Capitol Hill. 
 
 Cain _ a self-styled outsider relatively new to the national stage _ is facing a new level of scrutiny after a burst of momentum in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. He's been steadily at or near the top of national surveys and polls in early presidential nominating states, competitive with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. 
 
 The former pizza company executive has been pointing to his long record in business to argue that he has the credentials needed to be president during a time of economic strife. 
 
 In its report, Politico said it confronted Cain early Sunday outside of the CBS News Washington bureau, where he had just been interviewed on "Face the Nation." 
 
 "I am not going to comment on that," he told Politico when asked specifically about one of the woman's claims. 
 
 When asked if he had ever been accused of harassment by a woman, he responded, Politico said, by asking the reporter, "Have you ever been accused of sexual harassment?" 
 
 A message seeking comment from Peter Kilgore, listed on the National Restaurant Association website as its chief legal counsel, was not immediately returned. ||||| Rep. Paul D. Ryan has become well tired of The Man (read: the U.S. government) sticking it to the little guy. So no surprise his budding vice presidential campaign liked to crank “We’re Not Gonna Take It” at his campaign events. 
 
 But in a repeat of many campaign moments past, the hard rockers who created the song don’t think much of the buttoned-down politician with the conservative social agenda who was trying to get mileage out of it. 
 
 Twisted Sister asked the Ryan campaign Wednesday to cease and desist playing its fed-up anthem. The Republican’s campaign immediately said it would comply. The Associated Press said the Ryan camp emailed: “We’re Not Gonna Play It anymore.” 
 
 PHOTOS: Paul Ryan's past 
 
 Ryan has avowed a taste for metal and classic rock, saying he particularly likes Led Zeppelin. Now he joins a long list of politicians, particularly Republicans, who have been jilted by the pop stars they loved. 
 
 Earlier this year, Cyndi Lauper got hacked off when a television ad attacking Mitt Romney used her hit “True Colors.” She said her objection was not because she supported Romney (she didn’t) but because no one had asked her permission to use the song. 
 
 “Mr. Romney can discredit himself without the use of my work,” Lauper tweeted. 
 
 Four years ago, Jackson Browne asked John McCain’s campaign to drop his classic “Running on Empty” from an ad attacking then candidate Barack Obama. The McCain camp apologized and paid an undisclosed sum of money for using a portion of the hit song in a McCain Web video. 
 
 McCain running mate Sarah Palin took the stage at the Republican National Convention after the playing of Heart’s “Barracuda.” The Wilson sisters didn’t like it, with Ann saying that Palin did not speak for her or other American women. 
 
 George W. Bushhad more than one run-in with musicians that his two presidential campaigns embraced. His team liked Sting’s “Brand New Day.” But the onetime lead singer for the Police was an Al Gore man in 2000. He asked the Texas governor to stop using the song. It was the same tune four years later when Bush’s team embraced “Still the One” by the band Orleans, only to be told by the singer-songwriter John Hall he didn’t endorse the president. The Democrat was a backer of Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). 
 
 Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French called “We’re Not Gonna Take It” one of the most widely licensed songs in the world. But he said politicians had a way of running off with the group’s version without permission. Two tea party candidates agreed earlier to drop the song after objections from the band, French said. 
 
 French said he and his bandmates, including frontman Dee Snider, objected to Romney and Ryan’s stand on abortion and opposition to same-sex marriage. 
 
 “We understand it’s a protest song, but the use of our particular version of the song connotes our support,” French said. “We are absolutely opposed to this Republican ticket and to a social agenda that we find particularly disturbing.”

– Just when you thought the Republican presidential contest couldn’t get any stranger, we have breaking news: Herman Cain has a gospel album. That’s right, the Daily Caller today discovered an album online bearing the GOP hopeful's distinctive baritone. Cain's camp hasn’t commented, but Dave Weigel of Slate has confirmed that “it’s real, it was published 15 years ago … and it is not being distributed now by the Cain campaign.” The six-track offering is entitled Sunday Morning, and believe it or not, it’s actually pretty decent. “It’s mostly standard gospel fare,” says Frances Martel of Mediaite, but it has “one standout single: ‘This is the Day,’ a fast-paced track reminiscent of 'Footloose' that certainly wins the prize for funnest danceable track on the album. … Really, give ‘This is the Day’ a listen!”
