"Bang" comes from an Old Norse word "banga" which meant "to hammer." In 16th-century England, "bang" was used to mean "to strike violently." By the 1800s, "bang" was associated with sudden, loud noises, such as slamming a door.

This is NOT usless cuz WIlliam Hung is da' masta!!!

Me SINGING:

She bangs, she bangs​

Oh baby when she moves, she moves​

I go crazy 'cause she​

Looks like a flower​

But she stings like a bee​

Like every girl in history​

She bangs, she bangs​

I'm wasted by the way she moves​

No one ever lokked so fine​

She reminds me​

That a woman's got one thing on her mind​

Sorry My name is WIlliam Hung​

The singer, who became a fan favorite — but not a judges' favorite — during open auditions for the Fox series with his spirited version of Ricky Martin (news)'s "She Bangs," has signed a deal with Fuse Music Network and Koch Records.

His debut album, tentatively titled "The True Idol," is scheduled for release April 6, it was announced Monday. It will contain "She Bangs," along with another Martin hit, "Shake Your Bon Bon," and a cover of Elton John (news)'s "Rocket Man," which Hung sang recently on "The Ellen DeGeneres (news) Show."

And for those of you hankering for more Hung, the disc will include a 40-minute DVD with behind-the-scenes footage from his studio recording sessions and fan questions and answers.

"He may not be the next American Idol, but he is definitely a star and inspiration to everyone who sings in the shower," said Marc Juris, president of Fuse, which will exclusively air his "She Bangs" video.

Koch Records general manager Alan Grunblatt was even more effusive: "He is the new Elvis!"

Hung, a 21-year-old Hong Kong native and civil engineering student at the University of California, Berkeley, has inspired fan clubs and Web sites that sing his praises. Grade: Rockin' Tude!!!
