VIDEO: 'Bed Intruder Song' Turns Antoine Dodson Into Viral Superstar
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Dodson, a Huntsville, Alabama native, became a viral superstar when he went on an emotional rant on a local newscast after an intruder broke into his house and tried to rape his sister. His impassioned, melodic ranting caught the attention of amateur music makers, who synchronized it with an autotune melody and uploaded it to YouTube, calling it the Bed Intruder Song.
