Hm, een van de mooiste nummers van 2006 heeft 1 stem op RYM. De mijne. Die gaat de top 20 hier zeker niet halen?

Ik heb ooit een uitgeweken Belg met een grote hit in 2011 gekend.

Ik besef plots dat ik een grote favoriet uit 2006 over 't hoofd gezien heb. Oh well, ik troost mij met het feit dat hij hier zo goed als zeker niet zal scoren het dus weinig verschil zou maken. En volgend jaar kan ik hem een stuk of 4 keer nomineren, ook goed.

Dan vraag ik me af of je de dame met vijf singles in 2007 bedoelt (vier onder eigen naam) want 'zo goed als zeker niet zal scoren' zal dan vast wel meevallen.

The single has an accompanying music video, which was recorded in high definition. The video, loosely parodying the video for Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" and following the song's lyrics, shows Yankovic, dressed as a stereotypical nerd with a buttoned-up polo shirt, dress slacks, and horn-rimmed glasses (see also Yuppie or Preppie), attempting to fit in with the "gangsters", but instead either scaring them away, causing them to flip him off (shown on the scene where Yankovic is riding on a Segway in the park), or to direct him away from their group and instead towards a herd of other nerds (shown when Yankovic is in a bowling alley). These scenes include shots that directly parody the "Ridin'" video, including similar outfits by both artists. Yankovic is seen at night dancing in front of a set of road flares arranged in the form of Pac-Man, similar to the shot of Chamillionaire in front of the figure of a lizard, his personal logo. Another repeated scene shows Yankovic along with Donny Osmond—the "whitest guy I could think of", according to Yankovic[2]—dancing in front of the Schrödinger equation, mimicking shots of Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone from the "Ridin'" video. Yankovic had found Osmond to be eager to be in the video, having memorized the song before recording as well as having his various moves already figured out before filming.[3] Whereas Chamillionaire's video ends with the artist throwing up "The H" which is a hand sign representing his hometown of Houston (sometimes mistaken as a gang sign) to the camera, "White & Nerdy" ends with Yankovic giving a mistaken version of the Vulcan salute (his thumb is against the side of his hand instead of perpendicular).
Al depicted expressing his opinion about Atlantic Records on Wikipedia.

Further interspersed among these shots are additional shots of Yankovic demonstrating his "white and nerdy" life. One scene shows Yankovic vandalizing the Wikipedia page for Atlantic Records, replacing it with the words (in excessively large type and proportional-width rather than fixed-width) "YOU SUCK!", referencing his recent trouble with the company in getting permission to release "You're Pitiful", a parody of James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful".[4] Fans of the video have replicated the action depicted in the video several times. The video shows a fictional Trivial Pursuit card, with questions that include the location of "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota", on what page Harry Potter would die in the next book, and the number of Wicket men there are on a 43-Man Squamish team.[5] Yankovic is shown making a shady deal with a thug in a back alley to acquire a bootleg VHS copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special.[6] When Yankovic is on his Myspace page in the video, 'White and Nerdy has 27 friends' can be seen at the top of the computer screen (Bill Gates, Napoleon Dynamite, Mr. Peabody, Albert Einstein, Screech, Frodo, Pee-Wee Herman, and Tom). This is a continuation of his usual trend of putting the number 27 somewhere in his videos. The mayonnaise Al spreads on a sandwich in the video is labelled "Pest Foods" mayonnaise, parodying Best Foods mayonnaise. Also, when Yankovic says, "Even made a homepage for my dog, yo," the music video shows a website devoted to his dog, Foofie.

In addition to Osmond, there are other cameos in the video. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key of MADtv appear in the blue 1967 Chevrolet Impala convertible at the beginning of the video, two "gangsters" who are scared away by Yankovic's nerdiness.[3] The license plate on the Impala reads "OG4LIFE", a reference to Ice-T's 1991 album Original Gangster. Seth Green, whom Yankovic had known for some time, appears in front of a wall display of action figures. Green also provided a number of the props for the video.[3] Judy Tenuta, a regular on The Weird Al Show who also previously appeared in "Headline News", appears as the woman who receives a surge protector as a present. Other actors were personally recruited by Yankovic through a post on his MySpace page, from which he received several interested extras that said they would appear for free.
