Weird Al Wednesday – 5.28.25

Hey! Welcome back to Weird Al Wednesday
featuring the comedic genius of Al Yankovic.
“Say, Al! I hope my readers can take one more
serving of crap rap. Time to face the hard truth:
you’re just a little too white & nerdy for this!”
Is there anything you’d like to add, Al?”

We’re back with another rap parody, this time of “Ridin’” by Chamillionaire (featuring Krayzie Bone). Using enough nerdy references and sight gags to make a Trekkie’s eyes roll, Al plays a dweeb ostracized from the gangsters for being too white and nerdy. In true Weird Al fashion, he nerdifies elements from the original video, including shaping the road flares like PacMan and swapping out Snoop Dogg for Donny Osmond. Seth Green and Judy Tenuta also make cameos. The very beginning includes an awesome appearance from the very funny Key & Peele, pre-Comedy Central days.

Original videos first, as always. This is “Ridin'” by Chamillionaire

LYRICS

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
My music’s so loud
I’m swangin’
They hopin’ that they gon’ catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty

Grindin’ to see if they can see me lean
I’m tint, so it ain’t easy to be seen
When you see me ride by, they can see the gleam
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
And I’m ridin’ with a new chick, she like, “Hold up”
Next to the PlayStation controller
Is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain’t know, I’m crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin’ to bone, ain’t tryin’ to have no babies
Ride clean as hell so I pull in ladies
Law’s on patrol, and you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
I can speak for some niggas tryin’ to jack for some
But we packin’ somethin’ that we have for ’em
Will have a nigga locked up in the maximum
Security cell, I’m grippin’ oak (oak)
Music loud and tippin’ slow (slow)
Twin’s steady twistin’ like, “Hit this though”
Police pull up right behind and it’s in his throat
The windows down, gotta stop pollution
CD change, niggas like, “Who is that producing?”
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin’
Got warrants in every city except Houston, but I’m still ain’t losin’

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
My music’s so loud
I’m swangin’
They hopin’ that they gon’ catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty

I been drinkin’ and smokin’
Holy shit ’cause I really can’t focus
I gotta get it home ‘fore the po-po’s scope this big ol’ Excurs’
Just swerved, all up in the curve and
Nigga been sippin’ on that Hennessey and the gin again
It’s in again, we in the wind
Doin’ a hundred while I puff on the blunt
And rollin’ another one up, we livin’ like we ain’t givin’ a fuck
I got a blunt up in my right hand
40-ounce on my lap freezin’ my balls
Roll another tree, green leaves and all
Comin’ pretty deep, me and my dogs
Yo, I gotta hit the back streets
Wonderin’ ’bout the six pounds and I got heat
Glock, Glock shots to the block, we creep creep
Pop-pop, hope cops don’t see me, on the low key
With no regard for the law, we dodge ’em like, “Fuck ’em all”
But I won’t get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y’all
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark
Roll it up if you want, and get it poppin’, dawg
Ready or not, we bust shots off in the air, Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
My music’s so loud
I’m swangin’
They hopin’ that they gon’ catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty

Now would you think it’s so? I tried to let you go
Turn on my blinker light and then I swang it slow
And they upset for sho’, ’cause they think they know
That they catchin’ me with plenty of the drank and dro
So they get behind me tryin’ to check my tags
Look at my rear-view and they smilin’
Thinkin’ they’ll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin’ (keep tryin’)
‘Cause they denyin’ that it’s racial profilin’
Houston, Texas, you can check my tags (tags)
Pull me over try to check my slab (slab)
Glove compartment, gotta get my cash
‘Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast
And bein’ the baller that I am, I talk to them
Givin’ a damn about ’em not feelin’ my attitude
When they realize I ain’t even ridin’ dirty
Bet you’ll be leavin’ with an even madder mood
I’ma laugh at you and then I have to cruise
Jammin’ number two on some old DJ Screw
You can’t arrest me, plus you can’t sue
This a message to the laws tell ’em, “We hate you”
I can’t be touched or tell ’em that they shoulda known
Tippin’ down, sittin’ crooked on my chrome
Bookin’ my phone, findin’ a chick I wanna bone
Like they couldn’t stop me, I’m ’bout to pull up at your home, and it’s on

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
My music’s so loud
I’m swangin’
They hopin’ that they gon’ catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
My music’s so loud
I’m swangin’
They hopin’ that they gon’ catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty

(Damn, I done spilled my drink)

And now, this is “White & Nerdy” by Weird Al

LYRICS

They see me mowin’
My front lawn
I know they’re all thinking
I’m so white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white ‘n’ nerdy?
Look at me, I’m white ‘n’ nerdy!

I wanna roll with
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I’m too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Really, really white ‘n’ nerdy

First in my class here at M.I.T
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
MC Escher, that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Stephen Hawking’s in my library

My-MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my topic spaces
Yo, I know Pi out to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I’m a whiz at Minesweeper, I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you’re gonna stay amazed
My fingers movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze

There’s no killer app I haven’t run
At Pascal well I’m number one
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain’t got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

They see me roll on my Segway
I know in my heart they think I’m
White ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white ‘n’ nerdy?
Look at me, I’m white ‘n’ nerdy!

I’d like to roll with
The gangsters
Although it’s apparent I’m too
White n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
How’d I get so white ‘n’ nerdy?

I’ve been browsing, inspectin’
X-Men comics you know I collect ’em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect ’em
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized the Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you “ROTFLOL”

I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog
Yo, I got myself a fanny pack
They were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop pop! Hope no one sees me get freaky!

I’m nerdy in the extreme
And whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and Glee club
And even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire
I got my name on my underwear!

They see me strollin’
They laughin’
And rollin’ their eyes ’cause
I’m so white ‘n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white ‘n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white ‘n’ nerdy
All because I’m white ‘n’ nerdy
Holy cow, I’m white ‘n’ nerdy!

I wanna bowl with
The gangsters
But oh well it’s obvious I’m
White ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
I’m just too white ‘n’ nerdy
Look at me, I’m white ‘n’ nerdy!
