"White & Nerdy" - "Weird Al" Yankovic

Quite a few songs I used to know really well are turning ten this year; here is one:


It's "White and Nerdy" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, which is from his twelfth studio album, Straight Outta Lynwood, and is a parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin'". The song is one of Yankovic's most known and praised singles; Chamillionaire himself was deeply impressed with the parody and was shocked at the high quality of Yankovic's rapping.

I have written about Yankovic before: I once covered his song "Word Crimes".

    1. I agree. This one and "Word Crimes" reminded people that he is still a comedic musical master.
