White & Nerdy: Weird Al Parodies Chamillionaire's Ridin Dirty
This is a response to Weird Al Returns with Hilarious Fake Rap Song: What Year is This? published on October 5, 2006.
Contrary to what you may have read, Weird Al's White & Nerdy is not a tribute to Eminem. It has absolutely nothing to do with Eminem. It is a parody of a rap song called Ridin’ (aka Ridin' Dirty) by hip hop artist Chamillionaire
featuring Krayzie Bone from the rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. White & Nerdy plays to the exact same tune and has several similar features.
For instance, Ridin’ shows Chamillionaire rapping in front of a wall that has his name on it with Krayzie Bone dancing behind him. Weird Al has some mathematical formulas on the wall behind him. Since there is always some significance to the choices Weird Al makes about what goes into his videos, I'm sure there's some significance to the formulas. Maybe I'm not nerdy enough to get it.
The White & Nerdy video is indeed hilarious. It features Donny Osmond dancing, sometimes behind and off to the side of Weird Al and sometimes next to him, in a manner that can only be described as …. White & Nerdy! Donny Osmond must have had a blast, but unlike Krayzie Bone who has a rap segment in Ridin’, Donny doesn’t rap.
Donny Osmond was once white America's answer to Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, when he began his career with his brothers as The Osmond Brothers. Seth Green also makes a cameo appearance in the action figures segment of White & Nerdy.
You can see White & Nerdy on Weird Al's official MySpace page. You can also get a White & Nerdy sweatshirt there. Here’s the hook in Weird Al’s parody:
They see me strollin'... they laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause I'm so white & nerdy
Just because I'm white & nerdy
The hook in Chamillionaire’s song goes like this:
They see me rollin'
They hatin'
Patrollin'
And tryin. to catch me ridin. dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Ridin' describes racial profiling by police in Houston, Tx:
