November 28, 2001 -- Firefighter Mike Moran became an overnight sensation by going on national television and telling Osama bin Laden to "Kiss my royal Irish ass!"
Now his wildly popular expression of post-Sept. 11 anger is memorialized in a song that's quickly finding its way onto radio stations across the nation.
Called "The Ballad of Mike Moran," the song features the words the FDNY's most outspoken fireman uttered on stage at the Concert for the City of New York broadcast on VH-1 Oct. 20.
The ballad is performed by the San Diego group "The Chamber-Made Brigade" and features the words:
"In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass/ Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass."
Authors Doug Cogan and Christopher Storc told Moran proceeds from the $9.11 CD will go to relief efforts.
Moran's brother John, an FDNY battalion chief Storc says he knew from an Internet message board, died in the disaster.
