LOS ANGELES -- The JapanBackstreet Boys apparently never want to hear Donald Trump play their hit "I Want It That Way" to promote his 2016 campaign.
The Republican presidential nominee reportedly played the song Wednesday at a Florida rally.
So wait, is this Backstreet Boys song (playing for 3rd time here in Ocala) a permanent addition to the Trump rally rotation or...?

The candidate's playlist selection came as a surprise to the boy band.
“[The Backstreet Boys] did not approve this and we are not associated with the Trump camp,” a publicist for the group told The Daily Beastin a statement Wednesday.
Representatives for the group did not immediately get back to Mashable'srequest for comment.
The group is kicking off a residency in Las Vegas in 2017. The Backstreet Boys join a long list of musicians, including Neil Young and the Rolling Stones, who have told the Trump campaign to stop playing their music at events.
