message: I'd like to suggest this for the main article.
The two dice Weird Al rolls in the video clip are a 20-sided and an 8-sided.  This could be just for the shapes as these are two of the quintessential D&D dice but it is also one of the more standard combinations used when making an attack in the game, where one usually rolls the attack (on a 20 sider) and the damage at the same time - many of the most common weapons do 1-8 damage.  The results that he gets for the rolls are a 10 on the 20-sided and a 5 on the 8-sided.

message: I removed the tag because I don't see that a prose format would work better for a list like this. Since the song consists of a series of items, it makes more sense to use a list format for these than to present it as one long paragraph. If your concern has to do with the notability of these items or the sourcing for them, then you've got the wrong tag. So I'll leave the tag for now, but without a comment on the talk page, simply adding a tag doesn't really tell what you think the problem is and why prose would work better here other than "because the style guide says so".

message: Noticed that not only Donny Osmond was parodied in White and Nerdy, but if you look at  other famous LDS people in recent news (i.e Romney) they are also being connected to the White and Nerdy culture. YouTube has a plethora of LDS White and Nerdy parodies and my concern is that this W&N stereotype is becoming a catch all misnomer for calling traditional religious values as being "white and nerdy". I believe the song is connected more to the "classic" idea that nerdy is connected mainly to people who like fringe technology (academia), fantasy and sci-fi and not the sole preview for just whites. The article should reinforce this in the article and not allow it to drift into other incorrect stereotypes. Septagram (talk) 07:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We cannot make any statement either direction about this song and the Church of LDS without sources that make that for us.  The only reason Donny is in the video is that Al thought he was the "whitest" person he knew, nothing at all dealing with the religious aspect. --MASEM (t) 13:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Why exactly is the plot of the entire music video in this article? ReaIdiot (talk) 15:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I took out parts that were unsourced (per WP:TRIVIA) related to references in the video that weren't needed. But as it stands, the first two para are otherwise fine, one explaining the parody of the Ridin' video and the second of reference (sourced) that appear. --Masem (t) 15:59, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

text: The music video was a big part of the reason this song did well. Most of Weird Al's songs had accompanying music videos which were just as important as the songs themselves, as he would also parody the look of the band or the style of the video. I think the tag should be removed.  MrAureliusRTalk! 16:18, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
