World of Weird Al Yankovic

If I may present my theory, I believe that White and Nerdy was always going to be on the album, but Al just liked You're Pitiful better. Once You're Pitiful was taken off of the album, WaN became the lead single.

To me, You're Pitiful and White and Nerdy would be rather similar. Halo 2, star trek uniform, inflatable dates, etc. so I don't believe they existed at the same time. Just a thought.

Also, this bulletin (if true) that also reveals a video is on the way, could mean that Al recently made sure he could have permission for a video and parody to make sure everything is on track.

Dont you mean us people that are "White & Nerdy?"

This album does seem very Urban heavy, but the earlier albums were all rock heavy, which was popular at the time, and now that Urban is popular, he is swinging his tunes that way. And while I havent bought a rap album since the last Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince collaboration, I do like Al's rap. It doesnt even sound to rappy, so it wont be too bad. But then again, Usher and R Kelly could be in the polka, it could be another theme polka like AWBP. But I really hope that this info is correct. Not so much the artist listing, but the release date.

As I've already stated, Al hasn't recorded any songs since You're Pitiful went public. They had to exist at the same time

Wisdom of the day.

That's it. 'White and Nerdy' is my new official theme song. XD *marks off Pentiums, which held that title until now*

I can't WAIT for the next album =D

You know, if there really are this many rap parodies, maybe "White and Nerdy" could double as a rather apt album title?

I go to sleep, wake up, and BAM! four pages of spoiler-y goodness!

I just listened to ridin' and it would make an awesome lead parody, and would be interesting to see live

w00t for new parody! w00t for new release date!

unfortuinently i couldnt find the bulliten, but still i am a little skeptic about the album, however White and Nerdy would make a hillarous song and album title

What did your two independant clauses have to do with each other at all?

How ironic, huh?

I agree, Al usually knocks rap parodies out of the park, and I think it is because they show off his own talents as a lyricist. Modern rap lyrics are so convoluted and word-heavy that it's nothing short of a miracle to not only fit new coherent lyrics in there, but also to make them funny!
