The first time I saw this clip, I couldn't understand why the audience was so quiet. Then, at the end of the song - see 3:31 - they went crazy. In hindsight, I think that they may have been a little bit in awe. Humor aside, this is one of the best rock / rap mixes that I've ever heard.
For me, it's "what kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?" I love that this song exists so I can link it when writing on Stack Overflow about how CPUs work, if the old P5 Pentium comes up, or about how to optimize assembly language for certain old CPUs.

IKR?! From what I observed, half of the audience were parents who brought their kids (Al’s hardcore fans) to the show. I myself was about these kids’ age when Al became famous back in 1983. His music always appealed to younger generation.
This man doesn't age...
thought the same until "32bit world". we 64 now baby. dunno wat it means but i call up bill and i makeem do my tech support WHAT
He got to 30 and just kinda stayed there
I quote this song almost daily.

Definitely up there
Total.genius. Al and his band can play and sing anything whether it be polka, rock or rap with such skill and precision.
It's insane how good this track is. Has to be the best live track I've seen on any video. Tight band, flawless performance. Rock on!.
Weird Al... What a genius!
I'll never in my life hate this guy! He sure rocks!
now why would you even say that?
just say you like him wow so ez
Other spoofers can make fun of other artist's songs, but Weird Al takes the cake!
Band is up there rockin' it and the crowd is all sitting down.
Thanks for posting this, awesome to see a live performance of it! I'll have to get that DVD (while that tech still exists, lol)...
probably my favorite line in the song double clicking on my mizouse
For me, it's "what kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?"

Astonishing act ...
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Yeah
What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
Nine to five, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him Money for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
It's all about the Pentiums, what?
You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
Nine to five, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique
Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operating system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
Got a flat-screen monitor forty inches wide
I believe that your says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, alt.total-loser
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Where'd you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
What? What? What? What? What?
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (it's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
Nive to five, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
What?
Is it possible to dislike this man?
pause at 3:32
I wish he would do an updated version of this song for the 2010s!
All about the AI's? All about the algorithms? All about the glowkids?
@@MARSTVCHANNEL Why not! It's a good as any place to start!
airdate: November 12, 1997
Thanks for uploading. You do know the full show is on RUclips right?
+yoloswag 123 From where do you think i got these videos?
Renan Jackson You recorded off RUclips?
THIS IS SO TRUE ESP NOW.
It always amazes me, how bored the audience looks throughout most of this concert.
