Free Music Notes for Running with Scissors
Free Music Review: Runnging good not great
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is 49 minutes and 54 seconds long and was released on June 29, 1999. The CD went platinum and reached #16 on the charts and the Canadian album charts as well. It reached #3 on the Top Internet Albums. Though none of the songs entered the US charts, Pretty Fly for a Rabbi reached #67 on the Australian Recording Industry Association charts. This is a good, not great CD to listen to. The one song I can't stand is Albuquerque. It is way too long. Other then that, the rests of the songs are great to listen to.

Title: RUNNING WITH SCISSORS
Street Release Date: 06/29/1999
Genre: COMEDY
The king of pop parodies returns with another zany collection of tunes that poke fun at pop culture. There are a handful of undeniably funny moments--notably "The Saga Begins," which pairs the tune to Don McLean's horrendously sentimental "American Pie" with the plot to the first Star Wars prequel, and a fun, nonstop-dancing polka medley of late-'90s hits that starts with the Spice Girls and ends with Semisonic. Overall, Running with Scissors is well-executed and actually humorous, but the material is a day late and a dollar short. "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" is funny once, maybe, but the majority of the disc consists of tepid takes on yesterday's news; the best jokes are devoted to Jerry Springer, Eddie Vedder, the Swing craze, and this place called Silicon Valley where they make computers. Why didn't someone tell Weird Al that a parody of Nine Inch Nails' lifeless industrial pop would have already sounded dated in 1995? It must be hard to stay on top of all the current trends and parody them as they happen, but that is something that Weird Al has done in the past, and perhaps will do again. --Mike McGonigal
