Goodness. How's that for overcoming adversity? Antoine Dodson of Huntsville, Alabama publicly went on Camera to express his anger after discovering that his sister Kelly woke-up to find an intruder in her bed. Fortunately, she escaped unharmed other than a Groping. She reported the incident to authorities and finding amusement in the interview which Dodson gave to the local news, Brooklyn-based The Gregory Brothers created a tribute to Dodson, processing the News Clip into a song. Auto-Tune, Viral Video, Piano Interlude. The whole nine yards.
But get this, the song actually charted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week based on 30,000 downloads after a lot of viral buzz on YouTube and Digital Downloads. Ridiculous! What is this world coming to? Check out the video for The Bed Intruder Song below:
The apocalypse is near.
ReplyDeleteLOL. This shiz is hot. Expect a new trend of Do-It-Yourself Music.
ReplyDeleteThis song is ridiculously catchy. And I'm proud of the Autotune guys for sharing the profits from the iTunes sales with Antoine Dodson. Otherwise this whole situation might look like exploitation. On Antoine's website he posted an interview he did with US radio and I was impressed at how well spoken he is and his continued focus on justice for his sister and the safety of those living in government housing. This isn't some elaborate joke. Interesting story.
ReplyDeletethis song is the SHIT, I love it!!!!
