"Weird Al" Yankovic has a new album coming out soon (although it seems to be available already on the major BitTorrent sites) titled “Straight Outta Lynwood”. The music video for one of the singles from this album was leaked a bit early on YouTube, and in case there’s anyone I haven’t sent it to, the link is right here. This has to be one of Weird Al’s better works, ahead even of “All About the Pentiums” and “Amish Paradise”. The geek references are plentiful, including mention of Wikipedia (which inspired edits like these), D&D, MC Escher and Earl Grey Tea. The Wikipedia article on the song also has a rather complete listing of all the in-jokes, references and cameos. And what I wouldn’t give for a hoodie like the one Al is wearing in the end of the video!
