The Utah Jazz is a professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are currently a part of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The franchise began in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz, in New Orleans, Louisiana, but the team moved to Utah in 1979 after just five seasons. The Jazz were one of the most unsuccessful teams in the league in their early years, and took 10 years before they made a playoff appearance (in 1984). They would not miss the playoffs again until 2004. During the late 1980s, John Stockton and Karl Malone arose as the franchise players for the team, and formed one of the most famed point guard–power forward duos in NBA history. Led by coach Jerry Sloan, who took over for Frank Layden in 1988, they became one of the powerhouse teams of the 1990s, culminating in two NBA Finals appearances in 1997 and 1998, where they lost both times to the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan. Both Stockton and Malone moved on in 2003. After missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons the Jazz returned to prominence under the on-court leadership of point guard Deron Williams. However, partway through the 2010–11 season, the Jazz began a restructuring after the retirement of Jerry Sloan and trade of Deron Williams. As of 2011, the Jazz are the only team in the "Big Four" sports leagues located in the state of Utah.
Utah (/ˈjuːtɔː/ or i/ˈjuːtɑː/) (Arapaho: Wo'tééneihí' ) is a state in the Western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th-most extensive, the 34th-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2,817,222 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City. This leaves vast expanses of the state nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name "Utah" is derived from the name of the Ute tribe and means "people of the mountains" in the Ute language. Utah is bordered by Arizona on the south, Colorado on the east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north and Nevada on the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico.
Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the Union. It is home to the Salt Lake Temple, and approximately 60% of Utahns are reported to be members of LDS Church which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life.

My father looked at me one day, said Son, it's plain to see
That you're getting older and should have a talk with me
You'll soon be going on lots of dates as to a man you grow
And theres one important thing every boy should know
And that is Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why some have eyes of blue
That's why some stand five foot two cause girls, girls, girls were made to love One day soon you'll have a date and you'll take her home that night
Then you'll find you'll wonder Would a kiss be right? The more you look, the more you'll find those doubts will fill your head
But think real hard and you might recall what your old Dad said
He said that Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why ya watch em walk down the street
That's why their kisses taste awful sweet cause girls, girls, girls were made to love Then you'll meet that special girl who'll sweep your offa your feet
You'll want to say you love her but you'll find it hard to speak
This is a time when you'll find it's better left unsaid
Just tell er like I've told your Mom, with a kiss instead Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why ya watch em walk down the street

(Da da da da dat boom boom
Bandit of my dreams)
Every night when I go to sleep
I just wait for you
Don't need to count sheep
Without a horse, without a gun
You rob my heart and away you run
For you're the bandit, the bandit
The bandit of my dreams
(Da da da da dat boom boom
Bandit of my dreams)
How I wish I could hold you near
But you steal a kiss then you disappear
I open my arms and close my eyes
You catch my poor lips by surprise
For you're the bandit, the bandit
The bandit of my dreams
(Da da da da dat boom boom
Bandit of my dreams)
One of these nights
I'll capture you and your charms
And sentence you to life imprisonment in my arms
Why don't you just surrender tonight
And give up your love to me without a fight
Why sneak around for goodness sake
Now don't you know I'm yours to take
For you bandit, my bandit
Sweet bandit of my dreams
(Da da da da dat boom boom
Bandit of my dreams)
(Da da da da dat boom boom

So why don't you just surrender tonight
And give up your love to me without a fight
Why sneak around for goodness sake
Now don't you know I'm yours to take
For you bandit, my bandit
Sweet bandit of my dreams

Intro Sounds: knocking on door, ringing on bell, tapping on window
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window, too
If you don't come out tonight, when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
I'm gonna knock on your door (how-how)
Call out your name (how-how)
Wake up the town, you'll see (how-how)
I'm gonna hoo-hoot and howl like the lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me
Hey little girl (how-how) this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How (how-how) how can I hold ya near
With you up there and me down here?
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell, tap on your window, too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
(Instrumental and guitar & piano)
