Indie Rock Band Writes A Song About Sasha Banks

Ask and ye shall receive.

Earlier this week, independent rock band The Mountain Goats released a new tune called “Song For Sasha Banks.” While the track was a surprise release for fans of the band, the song has actually been in the making for more than three years.

Back in 2015, Banks released the following tweet asking about where her song was from the band:

Where's my song @mountain_goats ?

John Darnielle, lead singer of the band, had the following to say about it during a phone interview with WWE.com:

“I looked her up and that, to me, was the perfect sort of attitude. That way to ask was really cool, you know?”

“Her fans were stoked at the idea,” he said. “Over the past couple of years, they’d keep saying, ‘Hey, where’s the Sasha Banks song?’ And then somebody brought it up in an interview, and I loved having this ‘You have an assignment you haven’t finished.’”

“Her name was coming up because she was going to Money in the Bank,” he said. “I learned her whole story and something just reached me. It was just the right time of day.

“Sometimes, songwriting is just where you happen to be when you happen to have the guitar out and the notebook out,” Darnielle added. “That was a week or two ago Sunday. I just woke up and there was the notebook open to it! It just came out real fast. I finished it between breakfast and lunch.”
