I was eerily all too familiar for me. They only thing he left out in my life is my PriusChat addiction.

I think he had another window opened up behind wiki with prius chat loaded.

I've heard his new album and its awsome! He has another 10min song that is really funny!

 

At last, a kindred soul (other than my wife...)

 

Liking Weird Al is one of my secrets....ssshhhhh

 

Can't wait until Tuesday, Sept. 26, when his new album comes out!!

I made a mp3 CD with all the songs from his albums, it stays in my Prius. Put it on random, I have a real Weird Al fest.

Be sure you see his video "Don't Downlaod This Song." It's easy to Google, this YouTube link may work:

Hey Tideland,
You're pretty close with the lyrics.

The first ??? is Escher, of MC Escher who was an awesome expressionist whose work you've probably seen without knowing it was his. He did the never-ending staircase on top of a castle, as well as the room with the staircases going every-which-way-including-upside-down, the never-ending waterfall, and many other tesselations.

The line with the second ??? is actually "At Pascal, well I'm number one," where Pascal is a programming language.

 

Great CD.

 

So actually does Wierd Al have a Prius? How many famous people are lurking on Prius chat???

I did find out that it was Donny Osmond as the white guy dancing behind Weird Al. He did an interview on a local radio station.
Seems Nov 2nd he will be on Jay Leno.

I don't know but I sent him a question about it.

Keep us updated if you hear back.

 

I wonder how many on PriusChat will be dressing on Halloween as " White and Nerdy"?
Actually one of my friends wanted to go as "Asian and Nerdy"...
so I guess it is fill in the blank "_____ and Nerdy"...

 

I just saw "White and Nerdy" on Wierd Al's MySpace last night. As soon as I saw his Prius, this became my favorite of his videos. The full lyrics are there too: You can hear the audio for "Your Pitiful" (Your Beautiful - James Blunt)

They see me mowin'... my front lawn
I know they're all thinkin' I'm so white & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
Can't ya see I'm white & nerdy?
Look at me, I'm white & 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 & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
I'm just too white & nerdy
Really, really white & nerdy

First in my class there 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
Stephen Hawking's in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin' for my Top 8 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
Here's the part I sing on...

They see me roll on... my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm white & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
Can't ya see I'm white & nerdy?
Look at me, I'm white & 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 & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
I'm just too white & nerdy
How'd I get so white & 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
Shoppin' 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 doin' web sites
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for 'em all
Even made a home page 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 A/V 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 Faire
Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin'... they laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause I'm so white & nerdy
Just because I'm white & nerdy
Just because I'm white & nerdy
All because I'm white & nerdy
Holy cow, I'm white & nerdy
I wanna bowl with... the gangstas
But oh well, it's obvious I'm white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
Think I'm just too white & nerdy
I'm just too white & nerdy
Look at me, I'm white & nerdy

 

I will be seeing him in concert this May. Can't wait.

 

Pretty good multichannel mix too. Shame it's not DVD-Audio format.
