Subject: White and Nerdy

Written By: The Charnstar on 09/01/06 at 4:53 am

Alrighty, my mate just sent me this song, "White and Nerdy," and neither of us know who sings it or where it's from, it is supposedly on "Straight Outta Lynwood," but Charnstar can't be too sure about that. Has anyone else heard this song? I know singers who put music as by Weird Al, and I know it's not cause I know the sounding difference, and White and Nerdy actually sounds like Weird Al... Help?

I've also heard that rumor about "White and Nerdy" being on Weird Al's newest album "Straight Outta Lynwood", I have no idea how your mate got a hold of it because the album isn't relased until late September, and the only single that he has out right now from the CD is "Don't Download This Song" which is on his Myspace page. I'm very courious and/or jealous of how you got that song.....

Time to write a parody of "Don't Download This Song" titled "Please Don't Leak This Song."  :D

Anyone care to take a stab at it, be my guest.

Some weird guy on my MSN contacts list wanted to give me that. I didn't take it, because a) I didn't trust him, and b) I've already pre-ordered the CD, so i don't need one of the songs on it on my computer.

I checked her out on Wikipedia, and turns out White and Nerdy IS a new Weird Al song to be released on thingymajiggy, a parody of Chamillionaires - Rollin' or something... i dunno the original... But yeah, tis a good song, can't wait to buy the album

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

Yup.  It's a track from "Striaght Outta Lynwood," released via Al's official MySpace page at www.myspace.com/weirdal . 

While you're there, you can download "Dont' Download this Song" from the new album (out Sept 23) and "You're Pitiful", parody of "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt, which won't be on the new album.  See www.weirdal.com for the story about "You're Pitiful" and why it's out for free and not for sale.

Alrighty, my mate just sent me this song, "White and Nerdy," and neither of us know who sings it or where it's from, it is supposedly on "Straight Outta Lynwood," but Charnstar can't be too sure about that.

Is that really Al? I mean, yeah I know the song is, but is that dude in the video, because I thought he was only doing animated ones for this album

That's him...he's definitely doing at least one live video (this one) in addition to the animated ones.  He even had a casting call a few weeks back on his Myspace page.

Holy f***, this is funny. Yes, that is him....when he made his first video for "Ricky" waaaay back in the '80s, I had no idea that the "Ricky" in that video was Al, too!

Weird Al's blog post about the AOL premiere being cancelled:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=90827837&blogID=169566305

Personally I think AOL is acting pretty stupid, and it's a win for Al that it was leaked and probably got seen by more people than ever would have seen it on AOL's crappy service.
