weird al is having a pop cultural moment

things are getting surreal for musical spoofer weird al yankovic, rather than being a dated comedian who does lame spoofs of current songs, weird al has clocked in his highest ever ranking on the billboard top 200 albums (#10 and rising!) and has two singles in the hot 100! "what the f**k" is the call that's going around these days.

his 1st release takes on the massive chamillionaire hit "ridin" (he's changed it to "white and nerdy") and is surprisingly even featured on the rappers myspace site!

this is too weird of a phenomenom to not feature (cause lord knows i hate musical spoofs) so here you have it:

weird al yankovic - white and nerdy
