Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh's decision to retire after his term is now a YouTube sensation in the form of a song blasting him for abandoning Democratic causes.

Sung to the tune of Don McLean's "American Pie," the music video derides the two-term Indiana senator for announcing Feb. 15 that he would not seek re-election.

"Bye, Bye, Mr. Evan Bayh, you're such a loser of a Hoosier that you won't even try," the lyrics read. "Thanks to you progressivism could die."

The identities of the composers, who appear in the video to be a group of men playing guitars and whose faces are not shown, are unknown.

The video, posted Wednesday to YouTube, had received nearly 7,000 views by early Thursday morning.
