+ Favorite Music Video of 2006

Bigger than Eat It, White and Nerdy has been played over 20 million times online and is Weird Al Yankovic's #1 top selling single of his career.

As one of the most downloaded videos on the internet, with a peak in popularity over the last couple of months, it might be worth it to take a deep look into the character of this video. There you can see the core root of internet culture today. The white and nerdy guy embodies the quintessential identity of the largest faction of the English speaking audience demographic online.

Even if you consider yourself a far cry from being this guy, can you relate?

My son loves this song and has listened to it hundreds of times. You can do that when you're seven. For me it was Tom Lehrer, Monty Python and Firesign Theater.

White and Nerdy is a parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin Dirty" of course. You should listen to them one after the other.
