Calling my judgment into question.
I realize that posting even a “rough cut” of a Weird Al video places me in very dangerous territory. I’ll risk it.
So, this is the first take of the video for “White and Nerdy.” The entire first take s filmed against a green screen with Weird Al and Donny Osmond - and they used random segments of this take in the final video. Mute it if you need to; the enjoyment comes from focusing on Donny Osmond in the background dancing and hamming it up. It’s really quite impressive how he keeps that cheese going for almost a full 3 minutes without looking like he’s lost his inspiration or energy. And I assume that it wasn’t fully choreographed and that he was simply drawing on his own dance expertise to put that together.
It made me smile today - which I needed.
