In 2010, Burnham's second album was released and Words Words Words, his first live comedy special, aired on Comedy Central. Burnham also has a large following on Vine. His third album and second comedy special, what., was released in 2013 on his YouTube channel and Netflix. Burnham finished first overall in voting in 2011's Comedy Central Stand-up Showdown.

Bo Burnham (album)

Bo Burnham is the eponymous debut album by American comedian, Bo Burnham. Released on March 10, 2009 by Comedy Central Records, the 2-disc album contains the Compact Disc musical album, and a DVD with Burnham's Comedy Central Presents special, all of his YouTube videos, and other performances.

In a 2009 interview with The A.V. Club, Burnham explained that most songs on the album were similar to his YouTube videos because "I wanted it to still have this very small, homegrown, kid-in-his-bedroom feel. I wanted to show respect for the online community". The live portions of the album were performed and recorded at Burnham's September 18–21, 2008 gig at the Tempe Improv in Tempe, Arizona.

Track listing

Country song

Country song may refer to:

Country Song (Pink Floyd song)

"Country Song" also known as "The Red Queen Theme" is a (actually untitled, Country-styled) song by Pink Floyd.

History

David Gilmour provides the lead vocals (though the remastered Zabriskie Point soundtrack booklet incorrectly states that Roger Waters is providing the lead vocal, though he does share vocals in unison with Gilmour in the chorus sections). It was originally meant to be on the soundtrack to the film Zabriskie Point, but Michelangelo Antonioni didn't want it in the film. However, it can be found on the second disc from the soundtrack album's 1997 reissue. The song uses chess terms as metaphors.

Versions of this song were called "The Red Queen Theme", possibly referring to the Red Queen character from Through the Looking-Glass.

Country Song (Seether song)

"Country Song" is a song by South African post-grunge/alternative metal band Seether. It was released on March 8, 2011 as the lead single from their fifth studio album Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray.

Background

According to frontman Shaun Morgan, the track's title "got its name from the swampy verse riff". On the band's official message board, Morgan explained the track's background, saying "in some ways I guess I was dealing with growing up and having to make better life choices. It's definitely not country, but we recorded the album in Nashville, and felt like it was a small homage to such a wonderful city."
