-'''Burning Sun''' is a [[Green Album]]-era track.
+'''Burning Sun''' is a [[Green Album]]-era demo.
 ==Overview==
-The [[Catalog of Riffs]] lists "Burning Sun" as being written or recorded on [[November 19]], [[2000]]. The recording history states a full-band recording was done two days later, on [[November 21]], of the same year. It's unknown if the surfaced version is this full-band demo or a Rivers demo.
+The [[Catalog O' Riffs]] lists "Burning Sun" as having been written or recorded on [[November 19]], [[2000]]. The [[Recording History]] states that a full-band recording was done two days later, on [[November 21]]. A 56-second clip of the track circulated among fans for several years when it was posted by Cuomo on riverscuomo.com as "las_dos.mp3", a sound clip of him performing the Skeeter Davis song "[[The End of the World]]" with segments of "Burning Sun" interspersed throughout. Fans edited both clips to create separate clips "Burning Sun" and "The End of the World". It is unknown if this recording is a full-band demo or a [[Rivers Cuomo]] demo.
-A fifty-six-second clip of the track circulated among fans for several years. It was initially posted by Rivers himself on riverscuomo.com as "las_dos.mp3", with clips of him performing Skeeter Davis' "[[The End of the World]]" inserted throughout. Fans edited both clips to create a composite of both "Burning Sun" and "The End of the World".
+The full version of the recording remained highly sought-after for years. It wouldn't be until [[July 4]]th, [[2014]], however, that the entire track was leaked on the "/mu/" section of the imageboard [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan 4chan]. In the post, the anonymous user stated that they'd been sent the track by Cuomo around 2002.
-The track remained highly sought after for years, with fans uncertain if the song even continued past the length of the posted clip. However, on [[July 4]], [[2014]], the entire track was leaked on the 4chan /mu/ board, with the leaker stating they'd been sent the track around 2002.
-Later, the melody was reused for the verses of the [[Pacific Daydream]] track, "[[Weekend Woman]]".

+The melody from "Burning Sun" was later reused for the ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' track, "[[Weekend Woman]]", and may have been considered for the [[2014]] album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. It is believed that [[Ric Ocasek]], who produced both ''The Green Album'' and ''EWBAITE'', asked Cuomo to revisit some of his ''Green''-era compositions for inclusion on ''EWBAITE'', and that "Burning Sun" was one such song (the song "[[Lonely Girl]]" from ''EWBAITE'' is also speculated to have originated during the ''Green'' sessions, possibly under the title "Homely").
