Of all of the people who would write a Hanukkah song, a Mormon United States Senator from Utah would be one of the most unlikely candidates.

But in his free time, Senator Orrin Hatch has penned a Hanukkah song, which is creatively titled “Eight Days of Hanukkah.” Hatch dreams of it being sung someday by Barbra Streisand. Something tells me he might have to settle for Joe Lieberman, but at least he didn’t attempt to sing it himself.

Hatch feels a close tie with Judaism, telling The Hill, “I feel sorry I’m not Jewish sometimes.”

Jon Stewart, your move.
