}} ''Hung for the Holidays'' is a Christmas EP by William Hung, released on October 19, 2004. The EP was recorded during the summer of 2004. Like his previous album, ''Inspiration'', the EP contains a number of cover tracks, mostly Christmas songs, as well as holiday greetings from Hung. The EP was not as commercially successful as his previous album and was panned by music critics. ==Development and release== During a performance at a May 2004 Blue Jays-Rangers game in Toronto, Hung revealed that he would begin work on a second album.〔 He said that it "will include original songs and cover songs... There will be more bands this time. That's all I can tell you."〔 Hung also announced that he was taking singing lessons before starting the recording sessions. When interviewed by MTV News in June 2004, he said that recording was "gonna be a much slower process than the first time. Right now I'm concentrating on just picking songs... starting to practice them and things like that."〔 Producers submitted the songs to Koch Records, and Hung said in the interview that the label had "some ideas and stuff, and we'll see. It's still early — very, very early." Although ''Hung for the Holidays'' was originally scheduled for release in September 2004,〔 the release was moved to October. The album includes a hidden bonus track, a cover of Queen's "We Are the Champions",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Discography )〕 which was released as a single on June 16, 2004. A music video for the track debuted on the Game Show Network on June 15 to promote the channel's "Summer of Champions" campaign. Hung performed the song live at the Universal Studios CityWalk in Universal City, California that same night.〔 He also signed copies at f.y.e. to promote the album.〔(William Hung Signs Copies Of “Hung For The Holidays” At FYE ).
