'Hung For The Holidays' Get Ready to Deck the Halls With William Hung's Soon-to-Be-Released Christmas EP, 'Hung for the Holidays' In-Stores on October 19th
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/23/2004 -- There's no better way to celebrate the upcoming holiday season than to enjoy some holiday classics sung by America's favorite idol, William Hung! Get ready to deck the halls and trim your tree just a little earlier than usual as KOCH Records announces the release "Hung for the Holidays," a newly-recorded Christmas EP which is set to hit record stores on October 19th. Universally known for his now-legendary rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" on the Fox "American Idol" auditions, Hung became an overnight pop culture phenomenon. Since that time, Hung has become one of the most sought-after performers in the world. "Inspiration," Hung's KOCH Records/FUSE debut album has sold over 200,000 copies stateside and continues to sell week in, week out. Concurrently, Hung has performed "She Bangs" on a host of national TV programs including "The Tonight Show," "The Ellen Show," "The Today Show" and countless others. "Hung for the Holidays" is chock-full of holiday magic and features some Christmas carol favorites plus some holiday thoughts by Hung. Alan Grunblatt, Executive Vice President/General Manager of KOCH, comments, "People have been buzzing about this release for a while now. The KOCH Records website has been getting an amazing amount of requests for a William Christmas album so we said to ourselves, hey, that sounds great, let's give the people what they want!" The EP is set to retail for $7.98 and will contain a hidden bonus track of Hung's pulverizing rendition of Queen's "We Are The Champions." For a limited time, the EP will also include a fold-out Christmas ornament. The confirmed track listing is as follows: 1. Holiday Greetings & Wishes 2. Deck the Halls 3. O Come All Ye Faithful 4. Greeting: Holiday Reminder 5. Silver Bells 6. Little Drummer Boy 7. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer 8. Winter Wonderland 9. Greeting: Hopes & Dreams 10. Hidden Bonus Track "We Are the Champions" The double entendre in that album title is killin' me! There's just...so much to work with...my brain is hurting...oh lord. You guys have at it. | |

You're right! My bad, guys. For anyone who desperately wanted to cop this album, it's already in stores! Get goin'! VoicesCarry said: WTF?
Words cannot describe the cheap, utter crappiness of that album cover. | |

He was at the Jingle Ball I went to on Friday. I was hoping he'd be on first so I could get there late and not have to experience him, but it was worth a laugh... I hadn't really seen him or heard him since I don't watch much tv... He sang She Bangs, Deck the Halls and O Come All Ye Faithfull.

He was on Howard Stern today, and he didn't want to answer any questions about sex (Thanks Mom for booking me on Howard Stern!!) or project any sexual type of image (like "hung" puns). They asked him what he thinks "she bangs" means. Poor guy. Does he know he's a joke? I hope so, or it will be a rough day when he finds out. Check this song out at:

I knew he wouldn't answe any questions and I think that's what made it funny as hell. Say what you will, but that guy is real! You could tell that Howard thought it was a great interview. I mean, there are some people that go on the show and don't spill and it sucks but his not saying anything was almost more entertaining than him being honest. Does that make sense? RIght before Hung left, it was funny as hell when Howard started "hitting" on him. It was the craziest thing I've ever heard. "Does he know he's a joke?" He's joking all the way to the bank and he's said that he is "taking a break" from school...not leaving! He has to know. He can't be that sheltered. I say a clip of him singing "We Are the Champions" and he was dressed as Freddy Mercury in this clown outfit thing. The guy isn't going to say "Yeah, I know I suck.". He's playing it smart with the whole "I do my best thing" but he doesn't seem phoney. Still, I ain't buying that Cd! | |

I had a party recently and played "She Bangs" and it went over very well. His version of Hotel California is priceless. | |
