In the event anyone still cares "Weird Al" Yankovic just released a new album "Straight Outta Lynwood" which has all the parodies you would expect, such as the video White & Nerdy. In the event you're in that demographic too, the song is a take-off of "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. I'll never be able to look at M.C. Escher the same way, ever again. Tons of other obscure, geeky references make this one more fun than I would have expected.

And if you're in the mood for more, try the Weird Al Yankovic Polkarama! on for size. True gluttons for punishment might want to catch his Polka Power video as well. And for an animated version of Weird Al, there's the Robot Chicken version, featuring a celebration of Weasel Stomping Day. How refreshing to be able to use the term "weasel" and NOT be talking about a politician!
