Could I get some nerdy beats?

Blob-Of-Evil

Hey my birthday is coming up, and I want to stock up on nerdy music so I can burn a CD my guests will enjoy. I have some songs from downloading and ripping from my CD collection, but not nearly enough to fill a CD. I figure you guys might know some good songs and I trust your taste, so I thought I'd ask you for help finding more.

For reference here's what I have:

• The Sarah Palin Rap (from SNL)
• Some Flight of the Conchords songs
• A 8-Bit version of Never Gonna Give You Up
• Re: Your Brains
• Now You're a Hero
• The Astley/Nirvana Mash up Mario Posted in the Youtube thread
• Showtime (A.k.a. "STRIFE!")

Pretty pathetic eh? I'll probably end up padding it with weird Al and Simpsons songs.

You can't forget "Fette's Vette" by MC Chris

Serephel

Have you ever heard Playmate of the Year by Zebrahead? It's basically a song about getting a Playboy magazine and masturbating. It's nerdish in that mostly funny but slightly depressing sort of way.

Um.. Still Alive? Maybe something from The Lonely Island?

Pool Party by The Aquabats is a perfect song for a nerdy party! Or any party!

Insane Clown Posse- Old School Pervert

Find it. Do it.

EDIT: Group X is some pretty nerdy stuffs, if you're into it. If you like techno electronica kinda stuff, I have a friend who's really into 8-bit remixes. They're pretty cool too! Definitely nerdy

Amoeba Boy

Check out The Phenomenauts, The Epoxies, and Dr. Steel. You should be able to find a bunch of stuff.

So, I got about 80 minutes worth of songs, all pretty varied and really quite nerdy. I'm pretty impressed with the extent that the orange belt was willing to help me out. Thank you to everyone who suggested music to me, I ended up looking into a lot of bands I had only vaguely heard of and I got a better look at all of you. Isn't that creepy? Okay, thanks and I bid you ado.
