The sound comes from a July 2010 television news report in Huntsville, Alabama, where Antoine Dodson spoke after an attempted break in at his family's apartment. The Gregory Brothers remixed his interview for Auto-Tune the News, creating the Bed Intruder Song, which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most watched viral videos of that year. Its catchy chorus kept the clip alive in remixes, Halloween costumes and reaction posts long after the original broadcast faded from the news cycle.
