YouTube – Nerdcore Rising Announces the PAX Screening in this VIDEO
“Nerdcore Rising” – a documentary about Nerdcore hip hop – stars a bunch of folks like MC Frontalot, Weird Al Yankovic, Prince Paul, and Brian Posehn. But, none are more influential, inimitable, or god-like to gaming nerds than Tycho & Gabe of the Penny Arcade. Therefore, it is with joyous heart and a gamer’s carpal tunnel that we would like to announce, in catchy video format, that the West Coast Premiere of “Nerdcore Rising” will be at the Penny Arcade Expo on August 30, 2008, 4pm, at the Seattle Convention Center.
Please be entertained with the same exact message by watching this video!
Being British, I love ‘Wallflower’ by MC Frontalot with the lyrics “I’ve got a new dance called The Margaret Thatcher.
It’ll get in your pants, you’d better call the dispatcher.
and don’t do anything I wouldn’t condone
except a dance named after a villainous crone.”
Songs featuring Margaret Thatcher continue to be produced, such as The Magggie Thatcher Experience (http://www.maggiethatcher.com/video.html )with Thatcher’s Death Anthem and ‘The Lady’s not for Burning’ (http://www.maggiethatcher.com/buymusic.html) who are trying to Flash Mob Thatcher’s Death by using social networking sites such as Facebook.(http://www.flashmobdeath.tk) They are a one piece spoof band from Sheffield, Yorkshire who make use of Flash Games related to the iron lady or the Miners Strike to gain popularity. (http://www.milksnatcher.com )They are not the only ones, however. Chumbawamba also have an E.P out called ‘in Memorium’ which will be sent out to everyone who orders one the day Thatcher dies. The genre ‘Geek or Nerd Hip Hop’ have also produced songs featuring Thatcher such as MC Frontalot with the lyrics “I’ve got a new dance called The Margaret Thatcher.
It’ll get in your pants, you’d better call the dispatcher.
and don’t do anything I wouldn’t condone
except a dance named after a villainous crone.”
