NASHVILLE, Tennessee — Country singer Hank Williams Jr., who lost his highest profile television assignment after making an analogy involving President Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler, is lashing out at the media in a new song.

In an interview last week on Fox News, Williams compared President Barack Obama playing golf with the leader of the Republican opposition in Congress to the long-dead Nazi leader playing a time-warped round with Israel's current prime minister.

Following the interview, sports network ESPN pulled the theme song Williams has sung before Monday Night Football broadcasts for 22 years.

In retaliation Williams, the son of legendary country singer Hank Williams Sr., has cut a song called "I'll Keep My ...," that says the Fox News broadcasters twisted his words.

"So Fox 'n Friends wanna put me down/ Ask for my opinion/ Twist it all around." He finishes the verse: "Well two can play that gotcha game you'll see."

Williams says he wrote the verse when he woke up Friday morning and recorded it in a Nashville studio that same afternoon. It could be on iTunes late Monday or early Tuesday.
