The track listing, parodies, and polka songs[7] are as follows:

Track Title Length (Style) Parody of Description
1 "White & Nerdy" 2:50 "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire featuring Krayzie Bone Discusses the life of a white nerd who wants to "roll with the gangstas," with many references to nerd culture and a reference to Wikipedia.
2 "Pancreas" 3:48 Style parody of Brian Wilson The song is mainly about the biological functions of the pancreas. It closely resembles the style of Wilson's long-delayed "SMiLE."
3 "Canadian Idiot" 2:23 "American Idiot" by Green Day A satirical commentary on American nationalism and the stereotypical American view of Canadians.
4 "I'll Sue Ya" 3:51 Style parody of Rage Against the Machine "A Rage Against the Machine-inspired headbanger which takes aim at the abundance of frivolous lawsuits,"[8] including many stylistic similarities to RATM songs such as "Bombtrack," [9] "Killing In The Name," and "Wake Up".
5 "Polkarama!" 4:17 Polka medley A polka medley including the following songs:
"The Chicken Dance" by Werner Thomas
"Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas
"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand
"Beverly Hills" by Weezer
"The Nina Bobina Polka" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
"Speed Of Sound" by Coldplay
"Float On" by Modest Mouse
"Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz & De La Soul
"Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls & Busta Rhymes
"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers
"Slither" by Velvet Revolver
"Candy Shop" by 50 Cent & Olivia
"Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg & Pharrell
"Pon de Replay" by Rihanna
"Gold Digger" by Kanye West & Jamie Foxx.

6 "Virus Alert" 3:46 Style parody of Sparks "Reveals the evil that lurks in your email inbox."[8] Parodies the many "virus hoax" emails, telling users to forward a message about a supposed computer virus, with exaggerated effects on the user when installed.
7 "Confessions Part III" 3:52 "Confessions Part II" by Usher A continuation of the Usher songs Confessions and Confessions Part II, focusing on trivial, silly confessions. The song also pokes fun at R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet: "I fantasize you're a midget.. I'm so sorry Debbie, I mean Bridget." Bridget is a character in "Trapped In The Closet" who is cheating on her husband with a midget named Big Man.
8 "Weasel Stomping Day" 1:34 Style parody of 1960s Christmas songs 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." It also seems to satirize the belief that a normally horrific act is acceptable if it is traditional.
9 "Close But No Cigar" 3:55 Style parody of Cake The story of a man that dumps his girlfriends for the tiniest flaws. The lyrical theme is specifically similar to Cake's song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" from their album Comfort Eagle (2001), which is about a man with very specific demands when it comes to girls. The trumpet line is nearly identical to the one in Cake's song "Love You Madly", also from Comfort Eagle.
10 "Do I Creep You Out" 2:46 "Do I Make You Proud" by Taylor Hicks A song by a stalker to his object of affection. At the end of the music video created by JibJab.com, it is revealed that he is singing at the prison talent show.
11 "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" 10:51 "Trapped in the Closet" by R. Kelly A song about a couple getting burgers at the drive-thru, which was "the most banal thing [Yankovic] could think of at the time."[6] This song also contains an interpolation of "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin at 6:24, re-recorded by Al's band.
12 "Don't Download This Song" 3:52 Style parody of 1980s fundraiser songs "Describes the perils of online music file-sharing"[10], set to a "cheesy '80's benefit song-type melody inspired by tunes like 'We Are The World,' 'Hands Across America' and 'Do They Know It's Christmas.'"[11]
