‘Weird Al’ Gets Nerdier

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s latest parody of a popular song finds the quirky satirist taking on Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’,” which he transforms into “White and Nerdy,” an ode to dorkiness. Appropriately, the hilarious video follows suit, offering a visual gag on nerd-dom for each lyric. It opens with thugs rolling up in their bright blue ride, to which “Weird Al” responds by pointing to the wheels on his tan four-door sedan, rhyming how his “Rims never spin to the contrary / You’ll find they’re quite stationary.” In fact, his main mode of transportation is a less-than-chic Segway, and the video also follows such dorky pursuits as pimping out his MySpace page, playing Minesweeper, and doing calculus in the shower.

“His flow was actually pretty sub-par, despite the amusing lyrics.” — TH89

“‘Weird Al’ is the king of music — he rhymes better than most rappers and he’s hilarious. All his friends are lucky to hang out with him.” — imag3
