Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, tonight unveiled his latest work, and it’s not legislation. It’s a song called Eight Days of Hanukkah.

He wrote the song at the request of Jeffrey Goldberg, who writes for The Atlantic.

“I am willing to serve as a Semitic song muse for any United States senator,” Mr. Goldberg told the New York Times. “God forbid any of the Jewish senators write a Hanukkah song.”
