"The White Stuff" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" by New Kids on the Block, and a tribute to Oreo cookies. "The White Stuff", along with "I Can't Watch This", were originally pressed to be made into singles for public distribution, but they were never released.

[edit] Release
According to the "Ask Al"[1] feature on Yankovic's official site, "The White Stuff" was originally going to be made into a commercially released single, along with "I Can't Watch This," but the record company decided against the idea (Possibly because the original song, "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", was already four years old at the time), and the deleted the single, even after they had made several cartons of promo CDs. According to the site's Q&A section, Al and fellow band member Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz managed to grab a few copies before they were discarded.
[edit] Notes
- This is the first song of Yankovic's to mention the pancreas which he cited as the "funniest organ". He would later create a song of the same name.
- "The White Stuff" was one of the eight songs recorded for Off the Deep End in 1990 (the others were "The Plumbing Song", "I Can't Watch This", "When I Was Your Age", "You Don't Love Me Anymore", "Trigger Happy", "Airline Amy", and "Waffle King", which was released on the "Smells Like Nirvana" single).
