Ah, I knew it was something about spaces. At first I thought it was atomic spaces, and then I thought it was topic spaces. I've never used MySpace, so I had no idea whether concepts like that actually existed. And I had no idea that a gat was a name for a gun. See, Weird Al is educational. Thanks, none.

But damnit, I just realized there is one more section I need help on. I swear this is the last one since I've memorized all the rest of the lyrics. I just need help on the precise lyrics.

"MC Escher is Blank.
Keep your Blank."

That'll be the end of it, I swear!

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

"MC Escher is my favorite M.C." MC = Microphone Controller, another rap/hip-hop reference to the guy who spits out the lyrics. But Weird Al is referencing a Dutch artist known for drawings which tweaked out perspective/perception.

"Keep your 40, i'll just have an Earl Grey Tea" 40 oz. is a typical size for cheap beer, Earl Grey Tea is the favorite drink of Jean-Luc Picard captain of the Enterprise D and E.

Same here. Even worse though is how my nerdiness wants to criticize his video. Like the Star-Trek-captain line should have been "Do I like Kirk more than I like Picard." Considering how he already liked them both enough to put up pictures.

Thank you. Now I know all the lyrics. But, yeah, I already knew who Escher was. ^_^

That "Cherry" line is one of the problems of the vid, if they were cherry, they'd be in the package... Why's he playing the turntables when talking about an MC? and why is the pac-man not yellow? Anyone know what those formulas are? and posting "you suck" to wikipedia is a sign he's no nerd.


I thought they were in the package. Oh well. The pac-man isn't yellow because it's a reference to the original song, so it's done with the same colors. I can't remember exactly what the formulas are. He posted "you suck" to the Wikipedia page of, I believe, his record label for some reason. Check out the Wikipedia entry for the song, it has all the details to answer your questions.

And this is why I want to have Weird Al's children. (Yes, I know he is married and has a daughter. Shut up.)
