I'm going to be failing this. It is not very well organized and there are quite a few claims that are either original research or unverified:
 * 1) Even though Straight Outta Lynwood was released on September 26 in the U.S., apparently because of a mix-up at the label it was not released in Australia until September 29 and not until October 3 in Canada.
 * 2) The PAL and Canadian release versions of the album are not on a DualDisc, but rather a separate CD with a DVD showing only the music videos and the Making Of featurette. However, the DVD side of the U.S. DualDisc is region free, so it may be imported without region problems.
 * 3) it is probably also a nod to the popularity of subsequent "Straight Outta _______" rap album titles, such as Straight Outta Ca$hville by Young Buck
 * 4) Yankovic performed the song in the parody medley during his Straight Outta Lynwood Tour.
 * 5) James Blunt also gave Yankovic permission to record the song "You're Pitiful", a parody of his hit "You're Beautiful", however Blunt's record label would not allow the release of the song in any form that could be profitable to Yankovic. However the song was still recorded and released, and if the record label had not prevented the release on the market it would have been a single instead of "White and Nerdy".

...and much more. This article isn't bad but needs lots of work if a GA is wanted. The nominator should have a look at the list of GAs for musical albums.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 20:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
