World of Weird Al Yankovic

Yeah, I don't seem to remember a scene with a treadmill in this video.

She was on a treadmill so she could walk continuously without actually having to move the camera to follow

When the line "Now on red carpets well I'm hard to miss, the press follows everywhere I go" was shot, the body double was actually walking on a treadmill and the paparazzi (including me, though I don't think I appear in shot) sidestepped from right to left. And yes, she slipped and fell on one of the takes. Those damn heels, man.

Huh?

Huh? indeed. "White & Nerdy" was Al's first song to crack the top 10. "Perform This Way" didn't even crack the top 100, to my knowledge. (Maybe it WOULD'VE if the Gaga Saga hadn't forced Al to release it two months before the album and video...)

I missed the episode too, dammit. Whoever has the clip, don't bother uploading it to YouTube - between VH1 and Sony Music, there's no WAY it won't get blocked. Can anyone upload the clip to megaupload or mediafire and post a link?

Here's the transcript of the pop-ups for your reading and dancing pleasure:
