Playin' with Your Head is an album by American comedian George Carlin.

[edit] Background
The album was recorded May 2-3, 1986, at the Beverly Theater in Los Angeles, and was released on July 30, 1986 on the Atlantic label. It was also Carlin's fifth HBO stand-up concert special. In the HBO airing there is a short skit before and after the show in which he flees from three men seeking an envelope in his possession before going on stage. The identities of his pursuers are unknown: the credits before the skit merely dubs them "The Bad Guys." Carlin tears the envelope up after the performance, never revealing its contents or why his pursuers wanted it. It could be speculated that the entire skit was relevant to the title of the album. That is to say that it was only designed to play with the audience's head and didn't actually have to do with the concert at all.
