Hearing White and Nerdy -- Weird Al Yankovic

Donny Osmond's Street Cred Has Just Gone Up With the Kids


If you've seen the video for Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" video you'll remember that in some scenes there's another fellow dancing along in the background with him -- closer examination reveals him to be none other than Donny Osmond, former teen idol and all around white nerd. What you may not have known is that to get those few seconds they shot the whole song while Donny was dancing around in the background. Now Weird Al has released the raw shoot, and OMG, it's just about as good as the actual video:



Dude, this is totally the best thing Donny Osmond has done in years. I mean, seriously: Classic.
