Carl Burnett is an American jazz musician, funk-guitarist, songwriter, and producer. Though a guitarist, he is casted as the drummer and co-writer of hit song "The Night Begins To Shine by B.E.R. (Telepictures)." The group's name, 'B.E.R.' is derived from the last names of its members (Carl Burnett, Frank "Franklin" Enea, William J. Regan).[1] The song and group was featured on the popular cartoon, Teen Titans Go! from the Cartoon Network. Episode "40% 40% 20%" was based entirely on the song. In the episode, Cyborg's obsession with his favorite song, an obscure 1980s hit, annoys his fellow Titans (Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven). However, they soon learn that Cyborg's real strength comes not from his robot parts, but from his favorite song.[2][3] The premiere amassed over 1.53 million viewers.[4] The song peaked at (#4) in the iTunes U.S. Rock Charts. It also charted well in the UK (#68), Mexico (#79), Australia (#25), and Japan (#9).[5]
