New 'Weird Al' Video - "White And Nerdy"

There's something comforting about the irrepressible career of "Weird Al" Yankovic. Despite changing trends he'll always deliver goofy songs and videos that truly embrace his dorkitude. And they're pretty much just as good (or inane, depending on your sense of humor) as the novelty tunes he was peddling in the '80s. Sure, this Chamillionaire parody isn't something you'd want on your iPod, but ... it's "Weird Al": you're probably curious to watch the video 'cause he made you laugh when you were twelve.

Weird Al makes a song called "Don't Download This Song," and the RIAA yanks off his video from YouTube. Amazing.

It was a good video while it was still on YouTube. Shame.

"Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire.

I smiled throughout. Nice work, Weirdo.

Who the hell was that guy dancing in the background? Was that Ricky Martin? I'm assuming if I were ever to actually catch "Dirty" on MTV, I'd get the joke.

I for one am happy that weird al is bring a little nerdcore awareness to the masses, it deserves a little bit (but really, only a little bit) of attention. :)

no, I wouldn't want it on my ipod, because I don't have one. There are so many other types of personal portable music players. We're not all trend monkeys.

Weird Al is cool, not dorky. He has not only comedic talent, but also musical; he writes original songs too.

A less disrespectful tone would be nice.

weird al is the best. i personally like his song albuquerque, but white and nerdy is next. plus the video is awsome (you cant make a video for an 11 minute long song very easily can you?)
