 NEW YORK (AP) - Southern rockers Jackyl have unleashed a song that pulls no punches about America's new number-one enemy, Osama bin Laden, the alleged mastermind behind the September 11 terrorist attacks. Titled "Open Invitation," the brash tune openly challenges the terrorist kingpin to war and yearns for his death. It opens with multiple repeats of the line, "I hate you bin Laden," and follows with the lyrics: "I'm pissed off and not a patient man/I'd drop a bomb on Afghanistan/ I'd snatch that towel from your head/wrap it around your neck/Pull it tight until you are dead." The song also includes a soundbite from one of President Bush's recent speeches, during which he quotes the Bible passage: "Even though I walk through the valley of death, I fear no evil." "Open Invitation" can be streamed or downloaded from the veteran group's official website (rockmerollmejackylmeoff.com). Jackyl explains: "This song is written in the key of 'ANGER' that such a thing can happen in this country. It's not directed toward any religious group or race of people. It is directed toward those 'assh-les' responsible." Jackyl is offering the song to all radio stations free of charge. "Every radio station is invited to utilize the song in any way that they can to raise money," a note of the site reads. "Jackyl has no desire to benefit monetarily from this horrible event."
