"She bangs, she bangs! Oh, baby! And when she moves, she moves!"

You probably remember those song lyrics from William Hung's famous "American Idol" audition in 2004. 

Our ABC15 crews caught up with Hung as he was doing karaoke in Chandler at a friend's birthday, showing off the song that made him go viral. 

Hung now works as a motivational speaker, using his fame to help others.

"I tell them that you can't be afraid of people telling you no, no rejection," Hung told ABC15. "Because that's the hardest thing, you can't be afraid of being ashamed or being wrong, because nobody's going to be perfect."

Hung said he hopes to go back to "American Idol" someday.
