MOST REQUESTED SONG IN HISTORY | “Weird Al” Yankovic- White & Nerdy (FIRST TIME HEARING) (Reaction)

The white and nerdy guy dancing behind him is Donnie Osmond. If you do a bit of research on him you will see why he was a perfect choice to do a cameo on this video.

With five Grammys, I believe weird Al is the most prolific comedy songwriter ever and you like breaking down bars, watch hardware store, an original song that you’ll be surprised by

[@TwoGunToast]

That song is awesome. I don't recall exactly what but I think they sped up that one section of the song. he mentioned something in an interview about how difficult it was to record that section. don't remember if he said they did it in one take or if they only got one good take because of difficulty or if it was done in sections to get around that but yea there's a reason he doesn't perform that song live.

[@James-iu2km]

I'm pretty sure he let Al do parodies of his song at least twice and he let Alien Ant Farm cover his song because he actually loved what they did with it. It's these idiots who take themselves too seriously. Prince was a great musician and songwriter. But the guy took himself way too seriously. Most of his songs were about getting off. He actually had a song called Get Off. If the majority of your songs are about getting your freak on, you can't take yourself that seriously. He wrote some incredible songs, and his raunchiest song ever, Little Red Corvette, was brilliant because it got past the censors despite being the dirtiest, nastiest song of the 80s if not all time, but a lot of them were about one singular topic. He also got more pretentious after he converted to another religion. Some of these guys take themselves too seriously. At least Madonna's famous line was "I'm here to provoke people." She wasn't taking any of her music seriously. She knew who she was.

As I'm sure many people have commented, He always asks permission from the artist (even though its not required legally) In the parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" which is called "Eat It" Michael even made sure that Weird Al had access to the sets that were used in the original.

He shot the video, and people will see it pretty soon. It's crazy." Weird Al is highly regarded for his ability to closely mirror the original song, something impressed Chamillionaire as well. "He's spittin' just like Krayzie Bone on the second verse...It's actually very funny if you listen to what he's saying. The way Krayzie is harmonizing, he does the same thing. It surprised me.

A lot of reactors don’t get the MC Escher reference either, which surprises me. A simple Google search would solve the mystery. Definitely an underrated “nerd” reference (since most of Escher’s drawings were mathematically inspired)

There are few artists that DONT see being parodied by Weird Al as a badge of honor

[@DoctorVell]

Seth Green was the action figure guy, he is a huge collector of them. You need to do Word Crimes by him, parody of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke

[@DekkarJr]

Check out "All About the Pentiums" if you haven't already. ooo and "Santa's Gone Crazy" is hilllllarious

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Everybody loved to be in his videos..good job spotting Seth Green!!!!

[@fryloc0034]

"HARDWARE STORE" is the most EPIC of all his Rap Songs, it's not a Parody but I promise you will be AMAZINGLY IMPRESSED by his flow.

Fun fact: Donnie Osmond did his whole dance in one take. There's a video of just Al and Donnie doing the whole song and it's freaking hilarious.

[@julietvalcouer]

Hey, bootleg was the only way we could get the Star Wars holiday special back before KZbin!

I was around 18 when I first discovered Weird Al!! (I'm 59 now) He makes me laugh no matter how many times I hear his songs!! Please check out Weird Al's take on Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit!! Classic!!! Weird Al's version is called Smells Like Nirvana!! Please do!!! It's worth your while I promise!!!

How did you miss Donny Osmond as Al's hype man? Mormon, star of "Joseph's Technicolored Dream Coat", was the white bread version of little Michael Jackson in the 1970 group the Osmond Brothers, later splintered off with his sister as the Donny & Marie singing duo? But I loved you loving this!
