Okay, I'm not big on rap. Can someone tell me what's the name and original singer of the song parodied in this video?

Ah well, thanks for trying. I thought I might find the video funnier if I had the original to compare it with. Weird Al recently released "You're Pitiful", which I didn't think was all that funny until I heard that annoying song by James Blunt on the radio...

I made a James Blunt beutiful parody.

So did Dead Ringers - "It's Bloody Cold". Loved it. What's your parody like?

And if this is any help Hairy, it was one of the comments on the video:
The original artist is Chamillionaire. His song is called "Ridin'", but the chorus is "ridin' dirty", so Al's "white and nerdy" chorus fits perfectly.

Dunno if it's right, I haven't heard that song. But there yeh go.

What's weird about that video is that he's playing MineSweeper on Mac OS 10.4, which is weird. And he's not using DarWINE, either. xp

Did you say that to try and delierately appear more nerdy than the dude in the video?

Roobarb

how did yours go?

it went like this:

My life is terrible
my love is dead
you saw a monster
with a meathead
there was no-one else on the subway
no prizes for guessing why
you saw me getting on the train
and had to shut your eyes
im beutiful
im beutiful
im buetiful it's false
you saw my face in an abandoned place
and you dont know what to do
you just hope i havent seen you

i caught your eye
as i walked on by
and i could see from your face
that you were going
to cry
and i dont think you want to see me again
you try to forget me but i last to the end

(chorus)

I have no idea what any of that means. You win at being white & nerdy. razz

Thanks for the info, Roobarb. Managed to find the Chamillionaire video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn1K0Pyt2fY

I almost feel sorry for James Blunt. It's just too easy to mock that song...

Bloody Cold (Dead Ringers): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thtmaZnxk_0
Beautiful (MadTV): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HA119MhHro
You're Pitiful (Weird Al song; amateur video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgfpJWUYgbg

He is more nerdy, he need not try. Unfortunately this means he's also smarter than me.

It turns out that the MineSweeper he was playing was a Dashboard Widget version.

Ah well. Notice that his username is "whitenerdy".

I don't even know how you pick up on details like that.

Just noticed that those red candles he's standing in front of are arranged into the outline of Pac-Man... domokun
