If you haven't heard of comedian Bo Burnham, then perhaps you've been living under an unfunny rock. In the vein of musical comedy such as Stephen Lynch, Burnham is a keyboard and guitar playing comedian, dropping lyrical raps for your listening pleasure. His songs are a mix of dirty humor, gay jokes, fat jokes and twisted metaphors and phraseology.

All that is pretty standard for the general comedian these days, but Bo started doing this in his teens, and thanks to YouTube and the new media of the internet, got a couple Comedy Central specials out of it, and has released one album to date. His new CD/DVD drops October 19th, and this is the first single/video from that album. It's called "Words, Words, Words" and is another lyrical roller coaster you'll have to listen to several times to get. Oh, and it's a fittingly trippy video at that.
