Surprisingly Okay: 'The New Dork' Song/Video

Last week it was 'The New Dork Anthem', and this week it's 'The New Dork', a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Key's 'Empire State of Mind' by pantless knights, the same makers as the 'I'm on a Mac' song and dance. It's an attempt at reclaiming the term "dork" and embracing a new, positive connotation. I don't know about all that but the song and video were both surprisingly well made. And I'm not just saying that because Geico guy there was smart enough to shoutout Geekologie at 0:50, but yes, yes I am. You scratch my back and I'll -- okay stop, you're making leg twitch. Red rocket -- RED ROCKET!!
