Having a single hit the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 is one thing, but seeing it parodied by master lampooner Weird Al Yankovic pretty much solidifies the song as a cultural staple.
Even Oprah Winfrey attempted to sing Chamillionaire’s "ridin' Dirty" during Monday’s season premiere episode as she ridiculed her best friend Gayle King, who was apparently singing it to death while they drove across country last spring.
Yankovic, best known for his classic parodies "Eat It" (Michael Jackson’s "Beat It") and "Amish Paradise" (Coolio’s "Gangsta’s Paradise"), switches out Chamillionaire’s line "ridin’ dirty" with the phrase "white and nerdy," which is also the name of the parody tune.
Meanwhile, Chamillionaire's sophomore album, The Ultimate Victory, is expected to be released in February via Universal.
