School of Medicine Goes Viral for Charity
Yu (right) has produced more than 50 health-care-themed parodies.
Medical student Guo Yu, AKA Super Guo, Steven L. Berk, M.D., School of Medicine dean, TTUHSC executive vice president and provost, and several others, recently starred in a rap video called "I'm so Nerdy (Med School Parody of Fancy)" to raise money for the TTUHSC Free Clinic at Lubbock Impact.
"I was looking for a catchy song that was both popular and could be easily parodied with medical relevance," Yu said. "This song was No. 1 on Billboards for many weeks and it didn't take too much time to write new lyrics."
"I'm So Nerdy" has received almost 10,000 hits since it was posted on YouTube a couple of weeks ago.
Yu said he is excited that all of the hard work he and his classmates put into the video has turned into a great opportunity to do charity work for the community.
"It's extremely rewarding when people like the final product, since you're involved in every aspect of the project," Yu said. "I have recorded/mixed more than 50 songs. Out of all my projects, this one felt the most special because I'm using a hobby to contribute to local charity."
The album "Super Guo - I'm so Nerdy [EP]," which includes six songs, is available on iTunes for 99 cents. It can also be purchased here.
