New
York
(ANI):
Three
Brooklyn
brothers
have
made
a
hit
record
on
YouTube
based
on
an
Alabama
man"s
interview
about
an
assault
on
his
younger
sister.
The
Gregory
Brothers,
Evan,
Andrew
and
Michael,
released
'Bed
Intruder" based
on
Antoine
Dodson"s
TV
news
interview,
in
which
he
had
spoken
out
with
a
warning
after
his
sister
was
assaulted.
The
song
has
racked
up
1
million
views
in
less
than
a
day,
and
has
become
a
popular
iTunes
download.
“We
thought,
'If
we"re
lucky,
we"ll
sell
a
few
thousand"," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
Andrew,
28,
as
saying.
The
inspiration
for
the
song
was
Dodson"s
raw
interview
about
thwarting
the
rape
of
his
sister
in
Huntsville,
Ala.,
and
vowing
to
find
the
predator.
“Overall,
I
would
add
that
our
primary
motivation
for
working
on
this
piece
was
that
we
were
compelled
by
Antoine"s
personality,"
Evan,
31,
said.
“We
heard
within
the
interview
the
melody,"
he
stated.
The
Brooklyn
siblings
also
said
some
listeners
are
getting
the
wrong
message.
“I
think
people
who
think
it"s
exploitative
are
filtering
it
through
their
own
perceptions,"
Michael,
25,
said.
“What
Antoine
did
was
send
a
message
of
strength
and
anger,
and
we
translated
it
into
a
song,"
he
added.
