Sign o’ the times. Making its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 hit list at No. 89–just below Justin Bieber and Young Jeezy, and a spot above Brad Paisley–is an Internet interloper: The “Bed Intruder Song,” the latest in the Auto-Tune the News series from the Gregory Brothers. It is undoubtedly the catchiest song ever adapted from a TV interview of a man who thwarted an attempted rape. The video became an immediate YouTube hit when it was posted a few weeks ago, and hot sales of an expanded version in the iTunes music store propelled the song onto the mainstream charts.
