My Damn Channel Releases 'Waterboardin', USA' Promotional Digital Single to Radio Stations Nationwide

Harry Shearer's Video Nominated for TV Guide Online Award

Attacks America's Newest Form of 'Enhanced Interrogation'

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- My Damn Channel (www.MyDamnChannel.com), an entertainment studio and new media platform, today will release Harry Shearer's "Waterboardin', USA" as a promotional digital single to radio stations nationwide. The track is from Shearer's most recent CD, Songs Pointed & Pointless, released by Courgette Records. The video was produced exclusively for My Damn Channel and has been nominated for "Funniest Web Video" in the upcoming TV Guide Online Video Awards. "Waterboardin', USA" is Shearer's satirical salute to America's newest form of "enhanced interrogation." The video and a free MP3 download are available at http://www.mydamnchannel.com/channel.aspx?episode=163.

"At a time when nominees for Attorney General and Senators alike find it hard to decide whether or not waterboarding is torture, I wanted to clarify it for all of them: waterboarding's fun!," said Harry Shearer.

"'Waterboardin', USA' is one of our most viewed and talked about videos," added Rob Barnett, President and CEO of My Damn Channel. "Harry and I decided to offer this to our radio friends through the help of Joel Denver at AllAccess.com. Few entertainers turn front-page news into cutting-edge satire as well as Harry."

Waterboardin', USA* lyrics:
Well, it may not be legal, but it sure as heck makes me safer
And it may not yield useful intel, at least that's what they say
But it's a pleasure so rare
Seein captives gulp air

Chorus
Let's go waterboarding, USA
Let's go boarding
It's not torture if I say it ain't
Boarding
Those conventions are so old and quaint
Boarding
Terrorists are gonna have some fun
And keep America number one

So let's do what we say we never ever do, no way
Let's go waterboarding USA
Well, it's nothing like surfin, cause you can't get off if you want to
And it's really hard work, but for us it feels much more like play
If the tables were turned, we'd feel really burned
But let's go waterboarding USA

Chorus

So let's make all those suspects really, really have to pray
Let's go waterboarding USA

Chorus
