El tema del verano

Oye, ¿por qué la mayoría de tus amigos son tan wierd.?
-No sé.
Jaja, me gusta.

Este es el tema que vas a cantar y bailar en todos lados. No lo creo, al menos no "ustedes". Ah, y por qué ustedes y yo no. Porque no todos son unos freaks marcianos. Pero, aguanta, estás leyendo este blog. Oh, perfecto, entonces no es que seamos ustedes y yo, somos "nosotros".

Nerd a mucha honra, mi amigo M, que tiene un blog -como tiene que ser, obviamente- me pasó esta canción, que además tiene un video gracioso en youtube. O sea, un ejercicio geek de lo más natural pasar la tarde de semana santa viendo videos.

En estos momentos estoy cubriendo en vivo el juicio de Fujimori, y bueno, deja algunos momentos de espacio libre, así que aproveché para escribir en la pc que se me asignó en la sala de prensa. Leí la letra y en un arranque de sinceridad, pondré en cursivas las partes que me dan directamente, aunque claro, mi discapacidad para los números más allá del 2+2 me descalifica para ser el típico y estereotípico nerdy y/o geek.

Qué les aproveche.


White and Nerdy de Weird Al Yankovic

You see me mowin’ my front lawn
I know they’re all thinkin’ I’m so
White and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy
Look at me I’m white and nerdy

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
M.C. Escher, that’s my favorite M.C.
Keep you’re 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Stephen Hawking’s in my library

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I’m a wiz at Minesweeper, I could play for days
Once you’ve see my sweet moves, you’re gonna stay amazed
My fingers movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze

There’s no killer app I haven’t run (run)
At Pascal, well I’m number one (one)
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain’t got a gat, but I got a soldering gun (what?)
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

Here’s the part I sing on…

You see me roll on my Segway
I know in my heart they think I’m
White and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy
How’d I get so white and nerdy

I been browsin’, inspectin’ X-Men comics
You know I collect ‘em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin’ online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L

I got a business doing websites (websites)
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for ‘em all
Even made a homepage for my dog, yo
I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin’ a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a role of bubble wrap
Pop, pop - hope no one sees me gettin’ freaky

I’m nerdy in the extreme
Whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and glee club
And even the chess team
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was “Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?”
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire

Got my name on my underwear
They see me strollin’, they’re laughin’
And rollin’ their eyes cause I’m so
White and nerdy

Just because I’m white and nerdy
Just because I’m white and nerdy
All because I’m white and nerdy
Holy cow, I’m white and nerdy

I wanna bowl with the gangstas
But oh well, it’s obvious I’m
White and nerdy

La canción, gringa obviamente, tiene aspectos que no encajan aquí, pero ese es el espíritu. Vamos, si llegaron hasta aquí, algo deben de tener, la cosa es si podrían señalar qué línea los identifica.
