Readers' Poll: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Songs
Selections include 'White and Nerdy,' 'Amish Paradise' and 'Eat It'2. 'White And Nerdy'
Weird Al didn't realize it at the time, but when one-hit-wonder wuss-rockers James Blunt and Daniel Powter made it difficult for him to parody their shitty songs for his 2006 LP Straight Outta Lynwood, they did him a huge favor. It forced him to think of a new song to parody, and he focused his sights on "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire. He transformed the song about driving with drugs in the car to the greatest ode to nerd culture every written. The song has been viewed nearly 68 million times on YouTube, and it actually hit the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. Sadly, none of his singles over the past six years have managed to be this riotously funny.
