White 'n' Nerdy - Weird Al the Geek Strikes Again

One of my fave videos at the moment. There seems to be a bit of an underground, proudly 'Geek' community here on Orble, so here's a track to do us all proud - I still find new gags when I listen!

Favourite line: "M.C. Escher is my favourite MC"

Hi Yoda

What an interesting mix of 'geek' and rap...

Thanks for an early morning chuckle,

I like 'Amish Paradise' best, but this song is pretty funny too.

I love that song! Thanks for putting up the clip, I saw it ages ago but had forgotten all about it. There are so many great references in there.

Hey Tracy,

Glad I could brighten your day!

ChrisB,

Thanks for dropping by - I'm a big Weird Al fan. I love the dorky pop-Polka medleys.

Mrs M,

ox

;o)

Nina,

You're welcome.

Al's music videos are full of geeky pop-culture references. I'm not sure if you spotted Donnie Osmond due to the video compression - he's the white guy dancing behind Weird Al!

Nina,

Well spotted! I must admit I missed that one. Geez... what else am I missing?!

And I love the 'Star Wars Kid' reference - this guy really plumbs the depths of pop culture at it's best / worst ;o)

Lilla,

Thanks for dropping by. Stay happy!

Great stuff. Weird Al is very entertaining.

That is one of his best videos, The Saga Begins might be his best.

J. J.'s entertainment & travel stories
Winchester Stories

I loved this when I saw it. I had to send the videos to others especially those I know that try to be gangsta' and are more a bit white and nerdy...LOL

do you know anyone like that?

Sports Insider,

The Saga Begins is very good value (I was still in m massive Star Wars phase when that came out), but I'm a massive fan of "All About The Pentiums" - absolute gold!

J. J. Lynn,

Fortunately (or perhaps unfoortunately ;o), no I don 't.

Glad I can be here for the amusement of you and your friends!!
