"The White Stuff" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" by New Kids on the Block, and a tribute to Oreo cookies. "The White Stuff", along with "I Can't Watch This", were originally pressed to be made into singles for public distribution, but they were never released.

Release

According to the "Ask Al""Ask Al" at [http://www.weirdal.com/askal.htm www.weirdal.com/askal.htm] ; retrieved on October 7 2007.] feature on Yankovic's official site, "The White Stuff" was originally going to be made into a commercially released single, along with "I Can't Watch This," but the record company decided against the idea (Possibly because the original song, "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", was already four years old at the time), and the deleted the single, even after they had made several cartons of promo CDs. According to the site's Q&A section, Al and fellow band member Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz managed to grab a few copies before they were discarded.
