Song: White ‘n’ Nerdy
Artist/Group: Weird Al’ Yankovic
Man I love this song. Because I’m white. And nerdy. If you havn’t heard of Weird Al he does parodies of music hits. This song is take off of Chamillionare’s song Ridin’ Dirty. If you, like me, are white and nerdy and don’t speak gangsta, “riding dirty” is driving around with a reason for 
the cops to arrest you. E.g, having drugs in the car or something. Being white and nerdy is just being white. And a nerd. And quite severely not gangsta. And this song is awesome.
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
I love that he’s copying gangstas and black rap artists in general, but doing it in such a cute and self-mocking way that it’s not insulting. So they won’t shoot him. I love that lots of the nerdy things he raps about are so me!
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I do not get grills. I mean really, I just do not understand. Does anyone else see that they’re just like really big, diamond studded braces? Or metal false teeth. What is the appeal? I think they’re actually kinda cute when you’ve got your mouth shut, they’re like mouthguards, or braces. Braces are cute. But when you talk it just looks awkward. Awkward and painful. Is it still all the rage for those terrifying children to get them on Sweet 16? *shudder*
I think it’s an awesome thing to be able to laugh at yourself, even if just for giving yourself a label that others might see you as. The video is just as good as the song for this track, watching the faces of the “gangstas” when Al’ tries to approach them bein’ all white and nerdy.
They see me roll on, my Segway
I know in my heart they think I’m
white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy!
Whenever I listen to this song, especially when watching the video, I can’t help but do my awesome white gangsta rap moves. Oh yeah. I got moooooooves. Sometimes ya just gotta revel in the nerdiness, people.
You can (and should) check out the video here. It’s funny. And for when you wanna rap along you can find the lyrics here.
