Hear Hank Williams Jr.'s song ripping ESPN, Fox

The track, which borrows its title and certain themes from another song released by Williams' daughter, Holly, in 2009, was offered as a free download on his website.

Williams sparked an uproar when he appeared on the Fox News Channel show "Fox & Friends" on October 3 and said Obama's pairing with Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner in a June golf summit was "like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."Ousted ESPN Monday Night Football singer Hank Williams Jr. released his new song blasting ESPN, Fox and Friends and the "United Socialist States of America" on his web site Tuesday.

HANK WILLIAMS: Who should replace him on MNF?

The conservative country singer's scheduled to appear on ESPN sister network ABC's "The View" today (11 a.m. ET). Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar defended his right to free speech after ESPN split with Williams for comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler on Fox's morning talk show.

The free download to the song, "Keep the Change," on the Hankster's Web site is down. But it's up on YouTube. Have a listen and a look at the lyrics:
