The Radies Man: Heading right up your alley

Long before William Hung endeared himself to the nation by reinterpreting the modern classic "She Bangs," there was the Radies Man.

First appearing on the aptly-named Poop Alley Tapes in 1995, the Radies Man provided a beacon of inspiration for those of questionable mental capacity and limited English skills. And for the record, what in fact is a "hungry donkey woman"?

RADIES MAN - "Honky Tonky Woman"
