Track listing


Track Title Length Parody of Description
1 "White & Nerdy" 2:50 "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire featuring Krayzie Bone Describes the life of a white nerd who wants to "roll with the gangstas", with many references to nerd culture (including editing Wikipedia, although shown as vandalism in the video.)
2 "Confessions Part III" 3:52 "Confessions Part II" by Usher A continuation of the Usher songs "Confessions" and "Confessions Part II", focusing on trivial, silly, strange and disturbing confessions.
3 "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" 10:51 "Trapped in the Closet" by R. Kelly An excruciatingly detailed narrative set to music about a couple getting burgers at the drive-thru, which was "the most banal thing [Yankovic] could think of at the time."[2] This song also contains an interpolation of "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin at 6:24, re-recorded by Yankovic's band.
