The name of that song is Heavy Action.
Not to be confused with another one of my favorites … Round Up 
I just thought “Guess that sobriety thing wasn’t working for ya” when I saw the clips. Dude was messed up to hell and back. I loved his reference to Obama and Biden as “The Three Stooges”.
Hank Williams, Jr is a complete dumbass. He writes songs celebrating the fact that he embraces and exceeds the very same things that led to his father’s death. And another thing- I heard that he was considering running for office as a Republican. Please, Hank. On behalf of Republicans everywhere, pleaaaase don’t do it (I speak as a conservative who usually votes Republican).
Apparently, they televised the national anthem instead of running an intro.
Just a total nitpicky note that MNF has not aired on ABC since 2005; it’s been on ESPN since the 2006 season (though both ABC and ESPN are now owned by Disney). And, they still use Heavy Action during the course of the game (such as going into commercial breaks); Williams’ song was primarily used at the opening of the show.
The local sports talk radio deejays were taking calls about this, and a self-identified conservative Republican called in to say he was glad ESPN dropped the song, simply because it was stupid. At last! Something I can agree on with a conservative! Stupid song.
And one more vote for canning Faith Hill, too.
The weird thing is, Hank 3 is cool as hell and smart too.

Walt Disney probably held the average level of anti-semitism in Hollywood for non-Jewish producers at that time. Which might be the same as now.
Nah, she looks a lot better in a catsuit.[sup]*[/sup]
I have not made a strictly apples-to-apples comparison, however I stand by that statement.
Just another person who believes that the First Amendment bestows upon him the obligation to make dumbass comments in public and hide behind the phrase “Freedom of Speech”.
Just because one can say whatever comes to mind, Bocephus, doesn’t mean one should. Learn to filter.
And ESPN has shitcanned the song. Excuse me, “decided to part ways with Hank Williams Jr.” If this is what it took to get rid of that dumb song, I’m glad he called Obama Hitler and I wish he’d done it a lot sooner. The replacement feature will probably be almost as annoying, but as long as it’s not that stupid-ss song, I’ll smile through it.
“Canning”? Is that what they kids are calling it these days?
She does have a nice can.
My thought: WHO. THE. FRUCK. NEEDS. A. SONG.!!! JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME!!! I hate those pre-game songs…NBC’s are especially barf-inducing.
Good start. Now, how would Mickey look with a brush mustache in a khaki corporal’s uniform? Goofy can be Himmler just because I want to see him in the kewlest-of-awl Reichsfuhrer-SS uniform . . .
Do you think Disney would be interested in an animated English-language Downfall project?
I loved his response. He starts out by bragging that he read ‘hundreds of emails’ (for him, nothing to sneeze at, I’m sure).
Then he muffs the old “you didn’t fire me, I quit” line. “Because you fired me, I quit,” doesn’t have the same ring, mastermind.
And he winds it up by predictably confusing government suppression of speech with a commercial enterprise deciding to fire an idiot who doesn’t understand how audiences and capitalism work. Nice try, Clarence Darrow.
You dad was a true immortal, junior. Too bad you just inherited his drunkeness and not his talent. (Your kid Shelton inherited both - I wonder if that’s why the two of you don’t speak?)
Without your dad’s name and money, you’d be singing for tips at some hole in the wall. You’re not some statesman, you’re a washed-up entertainer (when you can keep from getting fired).
Oh, and I’m sure you got just as mad when you saw President Bush “jukin’” on the golf course for eight years.
To paraphrase Kinky Friedman: No matter how good a Hank Williams Jr. show is, there’s always someone who is going to say to him afterwards “You’re not as good as your daddy.”
Do you think they’ll take back his award (thanks, The Onion)?
