The music video, loosely parodying the video for Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" and following the song's lyrics, shows Al' Yankovic, dressed as a stereotypical nerd with a buttoned-up polo shirt, dress slacks, and horn-rimmed glasses, attempting to fit in with the "gangsters", but instead either scaring them away, causing them to flip him off, 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.

Details Edit. Release date September 17, United States. Q: You mentioned viewing this as a contractual obligation. At the time, you said this would be your last traditional full-length release. Are you still thinking that way?

A: I think so, yeah. That sounds a bit ironic coming off a No. What I do lends itself more to single releases than to album releases. It was always a bit constraining for me to have to wait until I had 12 tracks recorded and then release them all at once. So I think going forward, it would make everybody happier if I just put stuff out as soon as I wrote and recorded it.

Q: What particular qualities do you look for in a song as far as what to parody? A: I obviously look at the charts and try to picks songs that have either been No.

And most of the ideas will be pretty bad. A: Well, but it was No. I mean, the song was probably No. But then they proved me wrong and became the voice of a generation. And that particular period sort of reinvigorated my career because that was my first kind of big hit since my Michael Jackson days. What was the first song you parodied? A: Oh, gosh. I started sending tapes to Dr. Demento when I was in my early teens and some of them were parodies and some were originals, but they were all pretty bad.

I was sort of learning as I was going. But mostly they hit the Funny 5 because I was calling in on the request line and changing my voice.

Q: Do you think you would have gotten into doing the sort of music you do without Dr. A: Probably not. Demento was the only option. A: I have the most success with parodies. Demento played them both but "My Bologna" was a huge hit on the show. Demento show, again just me playing along with my accordion, the original demo version.

So I learned at that time that the parodies were really taking off. So I figured out pretty early on that I had to go my own way in life and figure it out for myself. My affinity for the Dr. Demento Show spoke to that.

So I just kind of played it up. I used the accordion for comic effect. The juxtaposition with rock and roll seemed to be funny to a lot of people. So I just went with that. A: Well, not per se.
