Arte que se ouve: "White and Nerdy" de "Weird Al" Yankovic

"Weird Al" Yankovic é um dos artistas mais divertidos que já ouvi falar. Gosto dele com o mesmo apreço e entusiasmo que guardo para com todos que têm a capacidade para me fazerem rir.
A sua carreira, que iniciou em 1979, consiste em fazer paródias de músicas bem conhecidas do grande público.
A primeira vez que vi um dos seus videoclips, foi há muitos anos atrás, numa paródia ao "Like a Virgin" de Madonna que resultou num hilariante "Like a Surgeon".

Mas, mas muito mais recente é o tema "White and Nerdy", que escolhi para representar o "Weird Al" neste cantinho, porque achei a letra e o vídeo uma deliciosa paródia.

"White & Nerdy"

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 of DND

MC Escher that's my favorite MC

Keep your 40I'll just have an Earl Grey tea

My rims never spin to the contrary

You'll find they're quite stationary

All of my action figures are cherry

Steven Hawkings in my library

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out

I got people begging for my top 8 spaces

Yo I know Pi 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 1

Do vector calculus just for fun

I ain't got a gat but I gotta soldering gun

Happy days is my favourite 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 Java Script as well as Klingon

Here's the part I sing on

They see me roll on, my Segway!

I know in my heart they think I'mwhite 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 tooWhite 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 'emmy ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored

Shopping online for deals on some writable media

I edit Wikipedia

I memorized 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! Got myself a fanny packthey were having a sale down at the GAP

Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap

POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky!

I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme

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 fair

I got my name on my under wear!

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'mwhite 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!
