About this album
Running with Scissors is the tenth album by “Weird Al” Yankovic, released on June 29, 1999.
Running with Scissors is the first of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s albums to boast multimedia content. When the CD is placed in a CD-ROM drive, one can browse through the files and play a QuickTime Movie file containing 14 minutes of footage from the Disney Channel concert special “Weird Al” Yankovic: (There’s No) Going Home. This was not included on CDs released in New Zealand.
Yankovic often includes the number 27 somewhere in his songs, videos, album art, and memorabilia. For example, he wears a 27 on the cover of this album, and 27 photos are included in the photo gallery on the “Weird Al” Yankovic Live! DVD. This motif began as several coincidental appearances of the number, but Yankovic began intentionally using it after the original incidents were pointed out to him.
The CD booklet contains the lyrics to all the songs on the album. However, due to the extended length of the closing song “Albuquerque”, not all of the lyrics fit on the final panel of the booklet. Instead of continuing with the lyrics at the end of the booklet, there is an apology from Al stating that there was no way he could have fit the rest of the song’s lyrics on it, and he “should have used a smaller font or a bigger piece of paper or something.”
