Utah's U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch has written an inspirational song for the Utah Jazz as they pursue the NBA Title that has been elusive to the franchise since its founding. Sen. Hatch, renowned not only for staunch conservative agendas and his "creepy uncle" appearance, is also a songwriter who had a number in the movie "Rat Race." His CDs can be found every Christmas season in garbage cans of friends, just beneath the discarded fruitcakes from Aunt Mamie.The song, "We Believe (That Nice Guys Finish First)," is a duet that is reportedly being recorded by Gladys Knight and Metallica frontman James Hatfield. Both are friends from Hatch's time spent on Capitol Hill fighting for the rights of rich recording artists to get richer.
The Regal Seagull has obtained lyrics to the song, a sample of which are:
We believe that nice guys finish first
No matter the color of their skin
The goodness of the soul slam dunks over the cursed
God won't let thugs like the Denver Nuggets win
Hatch has proposed that the song be played before playoff games and during halftime of games and even suggested that lyric sheets be handed out to fans to encourage singing along. Team owner Larry Miller could not be reached for comment on the proposal, as he was viewing the new Ben Stein film "Expelled" at one of his Megaplex movie theaters.
"I'm willing to give the rights of this song to the public domain, that's how much I believe in the Utah Jazz and the universal hope found in my inspiring lyrics," Hatch said, according to a news release.
Hatfield could not be reached for comment, but according to his publicist, he "has had many disagreements with some of the Utah Senator's political stands over the years, but he was willing to overlook that because the Senator fought so valiantly to protect artists like Metallica from the dirty, thieving hands of scumbag file-sharers."
