Customer Reviews of Running with Scissors
It's worth the wait between RWS and Bad Hair Day. Here's an overall review of each song. The Saga Begins (parody of American Pie): Very clever. Accurate to the movie. Star Wars fans should love it!
My Baby is in Love with Eddie Vedder: Catchy music, but no catchy lyrics.
Pretty Fly (For a Rabbi) (parody of Pretty Fly {For a White Guy}): Okay. It kinda let me down. It's still has it's laughs.
The Weird Al Show Theme: Nice one to put in.
Jerry Springer (parody of One Week): The best surprise! Funny!
Germs: The paranoia just isn't funny.
Polka Power: Nice arrangement of songs.
Your Horoscope for Today: Second best surprise. Very original. Funny.
It's All About the Pentiums (parody of It's All About the Benjamines): Funny for all PC users.
Truck Drivin' Song: Sick. Too extreme. The cross dressing lyrics made me say eewww the first time I heard it.
Grapefruit Diet (parody of Zoot Suit Riot): Falls flat. The lyrics seemed recycled from "Fat."
Albuquerque: The most original, funny, and strange song on the CD!!!!!!!!! It's great!
RUN WITH SCISSORS TO GET THIS!
My family has all of Al's CDs and records and were recently at one of his concerts. How good is this CD?
1. The Saga Begins- parody of "American Pie" by Don McClean. All about Star Wars Episode One. Very nice. A-
2. My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder- Why would Al's wife be in love with the Pearl Jam frontman anyway? C
3. Pretty Fly For A Rabbi- parody of "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" by the Offspring. Expect many odd Jewish words. B+
4. The Weird Al Show Theme- the theme to Al's dearly departed show on CBS or NBC, I forgot. Very stupid! B
5. Jerry Springer- parody of "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. Extremely raunchy but well-sung. B
6. Germs- very dull at first but gets better at the end. C+
7. Polka Power- includes Al's renditions of songs by Spice Girls, Marcy Playground, Marilyn Manson, Hanson, Beastie Boys and more. Very good! B+
8. Your Horoscope For Today- apparently, I should get ready for an unexpected trip when I fall screaming from an open window. And I should work a little bit harder on improving my low self esteem: I'm a stupid freak. A-
9. It's All About The Pentiums- parody of "It's All About the Benjamins" by Lil Kim and some other bozos. Great work with those computer geek terms, Al! A-
10. Truck Drivin' Song- a kid in my 6th grade class (back in 1999) said this is making fun of Al's wife. Must be a cross-dressing song. Creeeeeepy. C+
11. Grapefruit Diet- parody of "Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Oh boy, get ready for ALL the fat jokes Al left out of his old hit "Fat"! B
12. Albuquerque- Get ready for 12 AND A HALF MINUTES of the sad story of Al's childhood with saurkraut, a plane crash near Albuquerque, a run-in with a huge Albanian hermaphrodite with a Flock of Seagulls haircut and only one nostril and meeting Zelda, a calligraphy entusiast with a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches. B
I love this album except for one thing.
When he parodied Sean "P Diddy/Puffy" Combs' "It's All About the Benjamins" he parodied that annoying rock remix version with Foo Fighters leader/ ex- Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. I like both songs (P Diddy and Weird Al's) but I can't stand the instruments used in this version. I think Weird Al should used the music from the original version of P Diddy's "No Way Out".
