    • Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19So brilliant...digg users might buy it! This is the ultimate test of talent.
    • ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -35/+8And such a great parody of this little kid music that so many never-grew-up adults still listen to.
    • RedShoulder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Now THIS I will go and buy!!!

      A couple years now? Jesus, Weird Al's Amish Paradise parody was what?1994?
    • christianw, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4i was specifically referring to internet nerd style raps
    • FrostyFire, on 10/12/2007, -32/+2You know what's better?

      I submitted this 3 days ago. Dupe!

    • pexor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Wow, I thought Weird Al was dead and gone, but this was pretty good.
    • Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_and_Nerdy
    • Dragular, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6christian--mc lars isn't 'zactly the mecca of nerdcore rap. yt cracker (well, spamtec in general), mc stephen hawking, Optimus Rhyme, ect. ect... do a google for nerdcore.

      On the subject of the Weird Al song... awesome. Pure, unadulterated, awesome. This new album is actually looking to be good, what with him releasing this AND "Don't Download This Song." Here's hoping it's not gonna be another Poodle Hat.

      EDIT: Side note, rap like this has been done for years, yes, but the earliest MAJOR OMG HUGE rap like this that was done, AFAIK, was All About the Pentiums, also by weird al.
    • andy101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I post this, forget about it, check it today, & it's at 2700 diggs. Cool.
    • brian3ps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A Weird Al masterpiece. ROTFLOL indeed!
    • MikeMacMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The video:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw
  • tlmac59, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Fantastic! I needed a good laugh.
  • Pburgdwller, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45There are 3 or 4 lines in that song that I can relate to myself.
    • Dunadan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47Just 3 or 4? Now I really feel white & nerdy...
    • texpundit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Sadly, I can admit to over half the song. *falls over*
    • jtjenn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10MC Escher is my favorite artist.
    • idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2MC Hawking for teh robot.
    • cousinsteve, on 10/12/2007, -18/+8ok this song describes all of you sad people thats sit in front of a computer all day..., and then you brag about it? Why don't you all go outside right now and spend maybe 5 minutes out there, if you can handle that without running back inside to check the weather on your computer, then try for about 10 minutes. It feel soooo much better to be outside, than sitting in front of youtube and digg all day, wasting valuable minutes that you will never ever get back, if fact while you are reading this, you are probably going to loose at least another 2 minutes that could have been used to relax outside, or learn a new skill, or bodybuild, etc..., maybe something that can be used in the real life. A couple of years from now you arn't going to say, "Hey, wasn't that a great way to spend my most youthful years, sitting infront of a screen, loosing color pigments, and gaining the pounds while reading about a cult of a fictitious Star Wars universe." You won't care about that, wouldn't it be better to look back about how many girls you got, or awesome grades that you got, which got you into an awesome college, so you could become a spinal surgeon and make millions of dollars, or something like that, but instead you traded it for some guy lighting his farts on fire that you saw on youtube? I mean good god, some guy listened to the song and wrote out all of the lyrics, a waste of time maybe? Another guy that posted earlier was bragging about how he had memorized all of the Holy Grail, Why? And latter on the same guy mentions a "huge flaw" in the original video, about them mentioning a ps2 controller, but holding and xbox one instead. Do you have any idea of how, i don't want to use the word, nerdy you sound? You guys can digg me down all you want, i really don't care that much about that. besides that, Werid Al is awesome, its just that all he has been doing recently is rap, which he can't do, here is a qoute from an earlier post "he raps better than most of the other rapper out he sould make a video immideately", apart from you not being able to spell basic english, he can't rap! The people in the studios make it sound good, i've been to a few of his concerts, and he dosn't sound good doing live rap. By the way, he wanted to make a video of his last rap song, but m&m said NO, plus he has been making videos since he started, he has over 20, and a movie, and he used to have a t.v. series. He used to be awesome, but now he is killing who he used to be by doing parodies of lame-ass music. I agree with john2kx by saying his older music is "before your time", so you probably don't know what you are talking about anyways. I went to college with him as he was just starting out, thats when he did some awesome songs like "another one rides the bus", and "lasagna", which is music i can stand, how can you say this is his best when you have barely scrached the surface of his music, he has put out sooo many albums that you have probably never heard of. I really don't care that i have wasted a good five minutes writing this, just as long as a few people can read this before it gets dugg to the depths of digg. Just my opinion, and i'm glad i have it.
    • bob_the_alien, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@ cousinsteve

      I dugg you up on this cousinsteve, because, it is your opinion I'll give you that, so even though I don't like it, I'm not going to disregard it. The fact is, I liked this song, and I have many of Weird Al's past albums, and while I've never been to a concert of his, I cannot say whether he can rap for real or not. I consider this song quite good. Although I've never actually heard the song he's making a parody of, but oh well.

      Also, I do not believe that the majority of digg users are anything like what you have written in you comment. If I had to put myself in a category, I'd say I'm a nerd as well, however, I have a very beautiful girlfriend (who is about as nerdy as I am) I have graduated college with 2 different degree's, and I own a business. but I've also spent the the last 3 hours of this fine Sunday morning digging through digg, reading comments, posting comments, and watching YouTube videos. As far as other diggers out there, I can't speak for them, but I'd say their are more like me, than the mental image you have portrayed of them.

      Also on a side note, the PS2 while showing an X-Box controller situation, I'd like to comment on, it's not the fact that it's just a nerdy thing to notice, it's showing that they screwed up, and professionals should give their audiences more credit, and make the small things correct, it's about making believable situations, and if your trying to draw an audience in, and then you screw up something like that, I mean, come on more money in a year is generated by video games then movies, a good majority of your audience would recognize a screw up like that.

      Like I said, I dugg you up, but we have a difference of opinion when it comes to this.
    • cousinsteve, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1congratulations on reading my whole comment bob_the_alien, that was actually me just rambleing on at 11:00 pm, not really a point to it. Well, yay for long posts.
    • PandaPounce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey now CS, many nerds spend LOTS of time outside! Didn't you catch the line about Ren Faire? And what about LARPS? Just last week I went to fighter practice for NERO. And that's not even counting time hanging out in the backyard making the padded weapons! I mean, really, how many non-boyscouts do you know that go camp at boy scout camps every other month and spend the whole weekend running through the forest and hiding in the underbrush and hitting each other with plumbing supplies? Okay, disregard the plumbing supplies.

      In other news, just because I was in elementary school when Weird Al made it doesn't mean I didn't listen to him back then. Another One Rides The Bus is but one of the Weird Al mp3s on this machine. Just because he used to be awesome doesn't mean he's stopped.
    • Mirag3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1CS, are you high? The geeks are the ones making millions of dollars and founding corporations, not your "role models". "Look back and see your awesome grades..." - do i really have to go into this one? The geeks ARE the ones with the awesome grades, etc. Just because your modus operandi involves failing every other test because you decided that actually doing your homework was too "nerdy", don't blame it on us who, although we have certain hobbies, are generally well rounded people. Take your flames elsewhere.

      P.S. It was hilarious, I almost fell off my chair.
  • MuffinMan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28BEST WAY TO START MY MORNING!!!

    Lyrics?
  • hixsonj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48"At Pascal I'm #1".

    He's still got it.
  • cattyheather, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Can't wait for the album! If this is any clue, it will be great.
    • daurkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've picked up all of his items. I find him very talented by the way he can parody almost any style of music.
    • SqueakyWheel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I thought that the first line "mowing the lawn" stupid the segway thing was much better
  • JTMON, on 10/12/2007, -1/+222Thanks for this!!! Too funny. Hey, what's he saying about my fanny pack damnit.

    Here u goes guys:

    White & Nerdy
    ------------
    Parody of "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire
    New lyrics by Al Yankovic

    They see me mowin'
    My front lawn
    I know they're all thinking I'm so white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white and nerdy?
    Look at me, I'm white and nerdy
    I wanna roll with
    The gangstas
    But so far they all think I'm too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy.
    Really really white and nerdy.

    First in my class here at MIT
    Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
    MC Escher - that's my favorite MC
    Keep your 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
    My rims never spin, to the contrary
    You'll find that they're quite stationary
    All of my action figures are cherry
    Steven Hawking's in my library
    My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
    Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces
    Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
    Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
    I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
    I'm a whiz at Minesweeper - I could play for days
    Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed
    My fingers' movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
    There's no killer app I haven't run
    At Pascal, well I'm number one
    Do vector calculus just for fun
    I ain't got a gat but I got a soldering gun
    Happy Days is my favorite theme song
    I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
    I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
    I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

    They see me roll on
    My Segway
    I know in my heart they think I'm white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
    Look at me, I'm white and nerdy
    I'd like to roll with
    The gangstas
    Although it's apparent I'm too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy
    How'd I get so white and nerdy

    I've been browsin', inspectin'
    X-Men comics, you know I collect 'em
    The pens in my pocket, I must protect 'em
    My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
    Shopping online for deals on some writable media
    I edit Wikipedia
    I memorized Holy Grail really well
    I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
    I got a business doing websites
    When my friends need some code, who do they call?
    I do HTML for 'em all
    Even made a homepage for my dog
    Yo, I got myself a fanny pack
    They were havin' a sale down at The Gap
    Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
    Pop, pop, hope no one sees me
    Gettin' freaky
    I'm nerdy in the extreme
    And whiter than sour cream
    I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
    Only question I
    Ever thought was hard
    Was do I like Kirk
    Or do I like Picard
    Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
    Got my name on my underwear

    They see me strollin'
    They laughin'
    And rollin' their eyes 'cause I'm so white and nerdy
    Just because I'm white and nerdy
    Just because I'm white and nerdy
    All because I'm white and nerdy
    Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy
    I wanna bowl with
    The gangstas
    But, oh well, it's obvious I'm white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy
    Look at me, I'm white and nerdy
    • bightchee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46I'm laughing all over again just reading the words.
    • jhnshft, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39Thanks for the lyrics. Weird Al is a better rapper than most of the guys out today!
    • Saracor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That is so awesome...thanks for the lyrics
    • rolandog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I can't help but LOL everytime I hear the 'Even made a homepage for my dog' line.
    • carbonetc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh man, I didn't pick up on the bubble wrap line until I read the lyrics. Beautiful.
  • jaiwithani, on 10/12/2007, -6/+67Dooooon't download this song!

    http://weirdalprevents.ytmnd.com/
  • RFInfection, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25This is illegal. I can download this song!

    Quick, digg this down before the music industry starts to bring down Digg!

    :P
    • SuckMyDigg, on 10/12/2007, -26/+7If there was a single artist out there I would give my money to it's Weird Al. In fact I did, I donated money to get him a star in Hollywood... but I've never boughten a music CD in my life.
    • senseigmg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31I've never "boughten" anything either
    • bmobile, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10senseigmg: thank you for pointing that out. i *HATE* when people use that word.

      on topic...this is probably Weird Al's second best song ever (right behind "Amish Paradise"). this cd will be mine on release day!
    • node3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6"Boughten" is a common word used in the northern part of the US. While I can't say to what level of "properness" it's accepted as, it is common enough to be included in dictionaries as an actual word.
    • sjalt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6in nor cal, its hella a word.
  • Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I have heard 3 songs from his album so far, it seems great! much better then his last! (Pitiful, White And Nerdy, And Don't download this song)

    • shtonkalot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22You're Pitiful is not on the album.
      James Blunt had no problem with it but his record company did. That song and "Don't download this song" are free and legally available to download from his website: http://www.weirdal.com/home.htm
    • Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh thats too bad, well at least he released it for everone to hear, it made me laugh. Is "Don't Download This Song" on the album?
    • shtonkalot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes it is, too good an oportunity for publicity to not let it be downloaded though!
      For the full tracklist check out the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_Outta_Lynwood

    Classic.

    oops, i guess i gotta refresh more often.
  • usp8riot, on 10/12/2007, -110/+3Am I the only one in here not a fan of Weird Al? Although UHF was a rather funny movie but the songs just rely too much on imitation, not to mention I think they're, dare I say, lame.
    • Ebeniz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26yes
    • goathurter, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32People here are crazy over Weird Al. You just dugg yourself a hole my friend.
    • ProfessorRiffs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Rely too much on imitation? How could what he does NOT rely on imitation? It's parody. Here's a refresher course:

      http://webster.com/dictionary/parody

      Now shut up and listen to "Hardware Store" from Poodle Hat, and then find me another song that sounds similar.
    • slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Only some of his songs are parodies...a lot are originals. He makes parodies because that's what got him famous. Why fix what's not broken?
    • web.phreak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25@usp8riot
      "Am I the only one in here not a fan of Weird Al? ..."

      Yes.
    • Hatefull, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1"Am I the only one in here not a fan of Weird Al?"
      No, this ***** sucks.
  • Fantt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I've been a Weird Al fan since "Another One Rides the Bus." It looks like the new album is shaping up to be one of his best. I hope this album's polka song is just as awesome as the previous ones!

    This will be one of the few albums that I'll actually break down and have to buy this year.
    • malonie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"You Don't Love Me Anymore" by weird al was on the top 10 hit list back in the Philippines early 90s. I can still sing it ROTFLOL...Great song, crazy lyrics

  • insinuate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Weird Al ROCKS! I've been listening to him since I was a kid...so awesome. Glad to see hes making a new album called Straight Outta Lynwood. Looks like its gonna be a album full of papradies of rappers...lmfao. I can't wait. Thanks for finding this.
  • thomasthecat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3And you know, if any song...ANY song deserves to be parodied, it's this one. Bravo Wierd Al, bravo.

  • mrtword, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was awesome!
  • UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5This had me crying with laughter.
  • SatanicPengiuns, on 10/12/2007, -21/+0Only good song he ever made was "All about the pentiums", anything else is just way to cheesy. Good lyrics but he has no flow its probably because hes White N' Nerdy
    • john2kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10He's done a ton of awesome parodies in the 80's and 90's, but that's probably a bit before your time..
  • dadrew1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I wish you could give 2 Diggs - weird Al is a genius!

    This is one of the best I've heard from him, now I'm excited about his new album :-)
  • slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Any Al fan knows about this already but dugg because it's Al.
  • jayadelson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Weird Al, if you're out there listening, this is wonderful. You've still got it.

  • Godspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah great work

    now i gotta go get a huge suv with the 33inch rims and the 15" subs in the back and go ridding through the neighborhood with the volume loud playing this song

    j/k

  • CaptainRotundo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Am I the only one here that has never heard of Chamillionaire, or the song that is being parodied?
    • web.phreak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Probably... think of the age range.

      However, it's been top ten for weeks... you can't turn the dial without hearing part of it.
    • ScionX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6yes
    • smacg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The first time I heard the original Chamillionaire song was when my nine year old daughter was singing it. Yay!
    • PandaPounce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nope, I'm 24 and listen to the radio all the time, yet this is the first time I've heard of Chamillionaire or the song... maybe that's because the station I listen to most plays things like It's Raining Men and Ghostbusters. Personally, I don't feel like I'm losing here.
  • lolage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Holy..ROTFLOL'ing hell. I havent listened to him in ages, turns out he's got better. Dugg for unholy greatness.

  • jgoodstein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you can also download weird Al's songs from http://www.dontdownloadthissong.com
    • ScionX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's only dont download this song though. It keeps getting to about 51% then brings up an error about disconnecting for me. It downloaded the dont download this song one fine though.
  • Xcaliburmyght, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Right... great.. another album and I don't know the name...
  • z0iid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you guys also forgot "Amish Paradise" (probably the first WAY song most of you heard)
  • Surefoot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I don't think this is a legal download. He's only released "You're Pitiful" and "Don't Download This Song" for free downloads.

    But I listened to it, anyway. And right after I pre-ordered the CD. (I was going to do it anyway, I got all his stuff).

    I think everyone else should too. If sales shoot up today, it'll send a signal to the powers that be that stuff like this can lead to more sales, not lost sales.

    So go here http://www.weirdal.com/sol.htm and pre-order. And Al, if you're looking at this, check your sales on and after 9/8/06 and let us know what happened.
  • K4P741NxKRUNCH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Great, I just played this in my computer class and the teacher was rolling :p
  • honestmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -23/+0Dugg down because:

    It's damn easy to parody rap, since rap music is already a parody of regular music.
    Weird Al has already done a bunch of rap parody songs, this one is no better than any of them.
    The original song is nothing special, the original singer is nothing special, so why was this even made fun of?
    Sorry, Al is good, this is not.
  • jakbrud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Good to see someone linking to the actual file and/or topic instead of another useless blog.
  • ant9821, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh man, thats just what I needed to start my day.
  • FyberOptic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4lol what a coincidence, I just heard a parody of the original yesterday with http://vaderridindirty.ytmnd.com/ , and now this. Hats off to Weird Al, as usual!
