. (Yahoo) Yahoo! Music debuts the latest edition of the hit user-generated program, �Get Your Freak On,� featuring the Grammy Award� winning parodist, �Weird Al� Yankovic. The pop-culture icon and Yahoo! Music have teamed up to offer users the chance to take part in a new fans-only video for his hysterical song �White and Nerdy,� a satire of the rap singer Chamillionaire�s hit song �Ridin�.� Beginning October 11th, users will have the opportunity to submit video clips of themselves showing off the special characteristics that have gotten them shoved in lockers or dunked in toilets...from D&D and Star Trek to pocket protectors and calculator watches. The best performances will be selected and featured in the special fans-only video for the new track, premiering on Yahoo! Music October 30.

Visitors to Yahoo! Music in the United States and Canada will have the opportunity to provide a 30-second video displaying their nerdiest moves in Mpeg, AVI, or QuickTime format. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
