A B O U T

"White & Nerdy" was the second single released from Weird Al's "Straight Outta Lynwood" album, released on September 26, 2006. It parodies the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. The song both laments and revels in nerdiness, as recited by the subject who can't "roll with the gangstas" because he is "just too white and nerdy", and includes constant references to stereotypically nerdy things, such as editing Wikipedia and playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Chamillionaire himself put "White and Nerdy" on his official MySpace page, and commented that he enjoys the parody. In an interview, he also stated he was pleasantly surprised by Weird Al's rapping abilities, praising them by saying "He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy ...I didn't know he could rap like that."

The single was leaked onto the Internet on August 27, 2006, almost one month before the record's release date. It is currently streaming on Chamillionaire's MySpace page and Yankovic's own MySpace page.

The song has become Yankovic's first career Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, its peak being at #9 and besting his previous #12 peak for 1984's "Eat It", as well as his first Top 40 single since 1992's "Smells Like Nirvana". It debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart at #10. It also has reached #2 at the U.S. iTunes Store, and peaked at #1 on VH1's top 20 video countdown.

The single has an accompanying music video, which was recorded in high-definition video. The video was unique in that Yankovic personally recruited extras to participate in its filming. A request was posted via the blog on his MySpace page, and he received interest from a number of extras who were willing to work for free.

The video was leaked onto YouTube on September 17, 2006 just one day before the video was planned to be officially released at 9 PM Pacific time at AOL.com. Due to the leak, the premiere was cancelled, and AOL silently slipped the video onto their website hours before the premiere was set to take place. VH1 started airing the video in "large rotation" on September 20, 2006, it and debuted at #5 on their Top 20 countdown. It is currently available to watch on Yankovic's MySpace page, as well as on several other video hosting sites.

Yankovic teamed up with YAHOO! Music to make a fans-only video for White & Nerdy. -wikipedia.com
