	Artistopia Music - Weird Al Yankovic
		He has contributed songs to several films, including the original song "This Is The Life", featured on the soundtrack for Johnny Dangerously; the title track to his own movie, UHF; and a parody of the James Bond title sequences in "Spy Hard", the title track to a 1996 Leslie Nielsen movie directed by Rick Friedberg.
		Al is so clean-cut that the producers couldn't find any of the typical angst-laced problems that make many rock stars' stories compelling (as Al noted in an interview with BTM), so their angle was on Al's life as a bachelor and (what they presumed was) his loneliness.
		Although many of his songs are parodies of contemporary radio hits, it is rare that the song's primary topic of lampooning is that artist.

		I just want to thank Al for introducing us to the wonderful people who raised him and letting us know of and share their love of life, something that they obviously passed on to him.

		THE SAGA BEGINS This is clearly the best song on this album.
		Weird Al Yankovic Running With Scissors Al's latest release, Running With Scissors, was kind of a disappointment if held up to the standards of the hit Bad Hair Day album or even the Off the Deep End album.
		Unfortunately, although this one is good, it somehow lacks the life that the polkas from Bad Hair Day, Off the Deep End, and even "Bohemian Polka" from Alapalooza, had.

		Coolio claimed he was upset, but legal action never materialized, and Coolio accepted royalty payments for the song.
