<P> In 2006, the album was released as both a digital download and as a DualDisc (a double - sided optical disc that contained a CD on one side and a DVD on the other) containing both the album and animated music videos for a number of the album's songs . Straight Outta Lynwood was met with mostly positive reviews, with many critics in particular applauding "White & Nerdy" and "Trapped in the Drive - Thru". Some of the other parody songs, however, were met with a more mixed response . The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200 . "White & Nerdy" became Yankovic's highest - charting single, as well as his first Platinum - certified single . The record itself was certified Gold for shipments of over 500,000 copies . </P> <P> On July 5, 2005, recording for Straight Outta Lynwood officially began at Santa Monica Sound Records, in Santa Monica, California . By late 2005, six originals--"Pancreas", "Close but No Cigar", "Virus Alert", "Don't Download This Song", "I'll Sue Ya", and "Weasel Stomping Day"--had been recorded . "Weasel Stomping Day" describes, in the style of animated musical specials of the 1960s, a supposedly traditional holiday in which participants don Viking helmets, spread mayonnaise on their lawns, and "snap (the titular animals') weasely spines in half ." "I'll Sue Ya" is a Rage Against the Machine style parody, satirizing frivolous litigation . Yankovic chose to juxtapose the style of Rage Against the Machine with lyrics about lawsuits because he felt that humor could be derived by pairing the anger of the band's music with a topic so vacuous . "Don't Download This Song", a style parody of 1980s charity songs, such as "We are the World", "Hands Across America", and "Do They Know It's Christmas?", "describes the perils of online music file - sharing". According to Yankovic himself, the song takes a moderate approach to the peer - to - peer music download situation, arguing that both sides--people trying to illegally download music and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)--can act hypocritically depending on the situation . </P> <P> "Virus Alert" is a style parody of Sparks, specifically their work in the mid-1970s, such as their album Kimono My House (1974). It details "the evil that lurks in your email inbox ." "Close but No Cigar" is a style parody of Cake that tells the story of a man who breaks up with his seemingly perfect girlfriends due to the most inconsequential of flaws . The track was inspired by an actual friend of Yankovic's who was never satisfied with any of his dates; Yankovic later explained that "the song was inspired by (the) attitude, that nothing could ever be good enough ." The final original recorded, "Pancreas", is a song mainly about the biological functions of the aforementioned organ . The song is an imitation of the musical stylings of Brian Wilson, specifically his work found on the 1966 album Pet Sounds, released by the Beach Boys, and their aborted follow - up album, Smile . Yankovic joked that the reason the song was written was because "my pancreas has given so much to me over the years, I felt like I needed to give something back to it". </P> <P> On February 19, 2006, Yankovic began working on the album's parodies . During these sessions, three parodies were recorded; the first of these, "Canadian Idiot", is a play on "American Idiot" by Green Day . It is a satirical commentary on American nationalism and the stereotypical American view of Canadians . The song is ironic, and Yankovic has stated that the song's anger is a joke and that he loves Canada . Next, Yankovic began working on "Trapped in the Drive - Thru", a parody of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet". Yankovic was inspired to pen the spoof after hearing the "brilliant and wonderful and ridiculous" original . Efforts to make the parody more convoluted than the original were first considered but then abandoned by Yankovic; he eventually reasoned, however, that he could make his version "a little more stupid". Thus, the song is an excruciatingly detailed narrative about a couple going to a drive - thru, which was "the most banal thing (Yankovic) could think of at the time ." Because the song was three times the length of a normal song, legally, Yankovic would have been required to pay thrice the statutory rate for royalties . This in turn would have forced Yankovic to remove one of his parodies from the album . However, R. Kelly allowed Yankovic to only pay the royalty rate for one song . To round out the first session, Yankovic recorded "Confessions Part III", a play on "Confessions Part II" by Usher . The song purports to be a continuation of the Usher songs "Confessions" and "Confessions Part II", focusing on trivial, silly, strange, and disturbing confessions; Yankovic explained that, "After hearing Usher do (the original songs), I couldn't help but think that maybe he'd left a few things out, that there were a few confessions he had yet to make ." </P>
