WoW Moviewatch: White and Nerdy

Gunther has created a machinima to go along with the song, which makes this a perfect blend of nerdy and White and Nerdy. The upside is that this is a great head start into the world of machinima. The downside is that now I have the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at machinima@wow.com.Filed under: WoW Moviewatch

Wait.... So having this song stuck in your head is a bad thing?

Oh... my... God...
Weird Al is one of my musical DEITIES, and this machinima is PURE WIN.
I think the creator did an absolutely FANTASTIC job being true to the song, considering just how limited the available tools were (simply given the era differences between the WoW world and the setting of the song)... I loved it! ^_^

Wait, WAIT! Collecting comics, watching Star Trek, having figurines and several other things I identify with in this video, makes you a NERD?! NO one TOLD ME!
This explains so much. XD
Actually if you identify with those things AND your female it makes you even more nerdy I think.
LOL. This had two of my favorite things, Weird Al and Wow. How could it be anything but win? :)

"How could it be anything but win? :)"
Possibly by Sony blocking the video in Germany

Haha that was dope! Good use of the models and it synced very well. I think I missed the meaning on some parts because Weird Al flows so fast in this song that it's hard to understand what he's actually saying. Overall very nicely done! Thanks!

It's Spagett! :D

Do yourself a service and look up the lyrics to this song, and follow along reading them as you listen. Once you know what they are, they're very easy to follow in your head on subsequent listens...
Weird Al is freakin' AMAZING at being wickedly clever in both a completely over-the-top way AND a very subtle, nuanced way... and he is a gifted rapper. If you know music, you'll be amazed and respectful at JUST how good he is at speaking/singing VERY clearly while going VERY fast.
I've never known Weird Al to mumble in his songs (unless it's an intentional spoof of an artist who is infamous for being hard to understand... his parodies of Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain instantly come to mind). Once you know the lyrics, you'll realize he enunciates ridiculously fast and precisely, and the inability to understand the lyrics comes solely from the average brain not being able to process that much new information at that lightning pace...

Great job!!
Why is it bad to have this stuck in your head? Should be Boss Fight Muzak.

I'd never seen the Hardware store video. It's truly epic and I thank you for posting the link.

That was awesome! I especially loved the chat log lyrics. :)
StClair Sep 30th 2010 2:48PM
Agreed. Heck, the first time I saw that, I hadn't played yet - I didn't know if the main character there was a troll or a goblin. Still loved the song and video.

That was AWESOME! Thank you for that link! I've been listening to that recently and the vid was such a perfect match.
Now I want a Wierd Al Wednesday machinema each month. =x
