Description:

Singer Weird Al Yankovic has become a staple in American pop culture.  His comedic parodies of popular songs have targeted everyone from Michael Jackson to Nirvana.  In 2006, he set his sights on the song “Ridin” by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone.  This Weird Al White and Nerdy Carl Sagan shirt is similar to the one he is seen wearing in the music video for the song, in particular when he is in the comic book store.  He can be seen wearing a yellow tee that reads, “Carl Sagan is My Homeboy,” which is an obvious parody of the “Jesus is My Homeboy” design, only a lot nerdier.  The success of the song helped Yankovic land his first top ten Billboard album with Straight Outta Lynwood, on which he parodies artists like Green Day with “Canadian Idiot” and James Blunt with “You’re Pitiful”.  Whether you were first exposed to Weird Al with his hit song “White and Nerdy”, or you have been a fan since his early days of creating humorous mockery, this Carl Sagan is My Homeboy shirt is a fun tribute to both the singer and the legendary astronomer.
