Remem­ber how ‘uncool’ it was to be a dork in high school or col­lege? Actu­ally, it was pretty much uncool any­where and any­time! Well, it seems that times have changed.

The awe­some Pant­less Knights made this rockin’ music video called “The New Dork — An Entre­pre­neur State of Mind” (from the guys behind Grasshopper.com); a spoof of Jay-Z and Ali­cia Keys’s “Empire State of Mind”. It’s a trib­ute to their favorite ris­ing entre­pre­neurs, who by yesteryear’s stan­dards, would have been labeled as ‘geeky’, but who today, are pretty darn cool and pop­u­lar dorks!

Although the video was only released a cou­ple days ago, it’s already gone viral and is being deemed as the anthem for entrepreneurs.

Check it out! I’ve also included the lyrics below (cour­tesy of pantlessknights.com) so you can sing along to the famil­iar and catchy tune .

Who’s your favorite dork gone cool? Post your comments.

LYRICS:
Now I’m in the blo­gos­phere, Now I’m in the twit­ter­verse
Fans get so immersed, But I’m a nerd for­ever
I’m the new Zucker­berg, And since my web­site
I been cookin’ dough like a chef servin’ killa-bytes
Used to be the base­ment, Back at my mom’s place
Buildin’ web traf­fic so that we could sell an ad space
Make way for the, One man busi­nesses
Bail outs fin­ished with, White col­lar crim­i­nals
New sega gen­e­sis, Entre­pre­neur time
Makin big plans, To dom­i­nate the online
Yeah, I’m on YouTube, this is one man
Sharin’ google rev­enue, With songs on my web­cam
Sci­ence is the new art, Data­bases day to day
Geeks spreadin’ sheet smarts, Hus­tle, make the data pay
I could be in Val­ley­wag plus Geekolo­gie
Tell from my avatar, That I’m most definitely

The New Dork,
Social net­works – what dreams are made of, There’s noth­ing you can’t do
Now you’re the New Dork
This V.C. money is brand new, The geek is now damn cool
Let’s hear it for new dorks, new dorks, new dorks

Catch me up in Techcrunch, Right on the home­page
Hell, I’m on Giz­modo, In a photo bout a phone craze
And I’m up in Mash­able, week­end trip to New York
Bar pitty, 1oak, par­ties full of New Dorks
Now I’m pitchin busi­ness plans, From the backs of nap­kans
Micro-lend to Africans, Mon­e­tize Kaza­kas­tan
Catch me up on linked-in, Dog, C.E.O.
You can see where I be, With the I.P.O.
Now I’m up in skinny jeans, Now a hipster’s lurkin’
Used to be a reject, But now I’m steady jerkin’
Now my glasses main­stream, Now the girlies eyein me
Pop­u­lar kids copy me, The new swag is irony
Comin’ from the small time, Girls couldn’t find me
Now I scale mod­els, Like I climb on top of Heidi
Start big trends, with tweets that I pass on
You should fol­low me, cuz I’m friends with Ashton
