MISSOULA, Mont. — “Hey, Hill, if you ever dump Bill, come date me.” The lyrics are part of a love ballad penned to Hillary Rodham Clinton by a Montana band, aptly named the Clintons.
The Bozeman-based band has been around since late 1999, when Clinton’s husband still occupied the White House, although band members say they are not named after the famous couple.
Now, the Clintons are earning attention as a result of their ballad, “A Love Song for Hillary Clinton.” They were part of a segment on CNN, and their video has received more than 4,600 hits on YouTube. Band members say they wrote the song after again hearing jokes about Monica Lewinsky.
It so happens that the Democratic presidential candidate will be in Montana this weekend, in advance of the state’s June 3 Democratic primary. “If we get connected somehow to see her, or play a song for her, or take a photo, that’d be pretty cool,” said bass guitarist A.J. Miller.
