it's freaking hilarious!! ! My dh and I found a mistake in the equation he had up behind him, btw. The Shrodinger equation should have h bar squared, not regular h. p-chem. h-bar=h/2pi

I've been a huge fan of his since the eighties, and his humor is as fresh as ever.

I didn't even know he had an album coming out, until I saw this video on YouTube, then I bought it online from the iTunes store. It's the first time I had bought an album online.

Someone posted this on a Youtube thread here months ago and I got really obsessed with watching it. What's really ironic is that the original song/rap is very nerdy as well. I love Weird Al and can't believe he can still be funny, while capturing the essence of the source material.

I suspect it's partly a joke on the 'black people have more coolness potential than white people' concept. White rappers getting taken less seriously than black rappers etc.

WHITE and nerdy...

I mean, why do they have to refer to skin colour at all?

If it was "black and nerdy" people would be going nuts already!

I think he's making fun of racial stereotypes. Hey the make of the original song wasn't offended, he thought it was great.
