So the next style is that of White Stripes?

Apparently so, yes. When you move your cursor over the picture linked above, it says "The Weird Stripes".

I mean I know this is a spoiler forum and all and we aim to get the news early but tbh I'm a bit cheesed to be handed this 3 weeks early. Kind of deadens the thrill of the chase a little. I am surprised @ JibJab for their utter lack of discretion through this whole process they should be called "JibberJabber" cos they cant keep any secrets!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This video is made of EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Although, I'd sooner guess that the title would be "Ringtone" than either "The Weird Stripes" or even "Talkin' 'Bout Who?"

The latter is obviously a lyric and "Weird Stripes" sounds like a cheap throw-away visual gag that we might see on Bermuda's drum or something...

Also, I can definitely see this song getting almost the same amount of pre-release hype and Spinner-type promotion that "Craigslist" did since it's a definitive style parody...but that all depends on the subject matter since "Craigslist" was vaugely topical...if I am right and the title is indeed "Ringtone" or something else internet related then, we'll see what happens... but if maybe the title does turn out to be "Talkin' 'Bout Who?" and/or the subject matter is totally out of the blue again like SD was, then I wouldn't hold my breath...

although I might be doubting myself a little here, since I kinda think a song called "Ringtone" should be some kind of techno/rave-ish style parody...but, nah...he wouldn't be the "Weird Al" we all know and love if he put those two oh-so-obvious things together...

This is really cool! I'm surprised that new stuff is already leaked. How could they spell his name wrong if they did TWO videos for him?

Maybe it was a joke.

Yeah! or maybe the dude they hired to spell his name was killed in a freak accident, and then the replacement failed miserably at his job...

Yeah. That's it.

Anyway, new vid looks awesome!
