Fab Friday: Weird Al is White and Nerdy

Filed in archive Fun on October 6, 2006

Occasionally we like to share a little Friday fun with our readers so they can enjoy the weekend. Check our past Fun entries, especially Weird Al Yankovic's song and video "Don't Download This Song", the Camp Chaos Napster Bad animated series featuring Metallica, and archived DiaRIAA Fun.

We thank Weird Al for the anthem "Don't Download This Song" and its wonderful animated video. Today we present the equally snappy "White and Nerdy". What's scary is that I qualify for the most part according to his lyrics.

The first rap verse:

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

For the record, the best Star Trek captain, of course, was the Emissary, Benjamin Sisko. Definitely not White and Nerdy.
