No, all his songs should be less than 3 mins. Unless there are gargling solos.

Same thing. I mean, he does in a sweet, self-deprecating way, for sure. But this is definitely a favorite topic of his, which grows stale after a while.

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

Beautiful.

OH MY GOD!

Incidentally, if anyone hasn't checked out that YouTube polka video, do so immediately. I want them to do that for all his polkas! This is the first one that really makes me feel old tho in the sense of not knowing a bunch of the songs. :( I also think the polka thing works better when he selects the most inane songs that think they're the deepest - "Polkas On 45" was wonderful for really tearing classic rock's pretensions apart and sucking all the gravitas out of previously "deep" tracks. You really can't get the same effect from, say "Let's Get It Started."

The nu-metal one was really bad because it made it seem like Al was out of touch enough to believe that Staind and the White Stripes belonged to the same musical movement or even the same "Angry White Boy" audience. Oof.

roffle

Angry White Boy Polka - not strictly nu-metal, maybe, but surely strictly "Angry White Boy" no? See also, Al's involvement in Ben Folds's "Rockin' The Suburbs" and its rips on Fred Durst and Korn. Nothing about The Hives seems to have much to do with being an angry white boy to me...

CHORUS OF DEEP-VOICED ALS: "Whatcha gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?"
LUDICROUSLY HAPPY POLKA AL: "I'mma get-get-get-get you drunk! Get you love drunk off my hump!"

And all the while Al's accordion plays the synth hook in the background.

And then it all became pop radio.

Legal, my ass. Campbell vs. Acuff/Rose sez that shit is FAIR USE.

More likely: Record company asked nicely and Jive wussed out.

Weird Al rages against corporate America

I've got a lot of growing up to do, I know, but a well-executed pastiche makes me profoundly happy inside.
