In 2014, on my old account, I wrote: "I bought the "Weird Al"/Cheese Sandwich* LP Running With Scissors [1999; Volcano; 61422 32118-2] fairly recently. Also, fairly recently, I looked up the CD's Wikipedia article, where I discovered that it contained this special video. It was at that point that I thought, 'Gee, you know, it probably would be nice if I put this little thing up on YouTube!' So I checked this little file. It was thankfully devoid of anything that might potentially harm my little computer. It was virtually a safe little thing. I enjoyed it and hope you will too."

In 2017, on my current account, I write: "I felt like reuploading this entire video. The differences here is that the picture you see is sharper, and the sound you hear is clearer, than the video originally posted in 2014."

As a side note, this is the very first thread in this group. Hope that'll give it a profile.


Here now is a ReadMe file from the CD just in case you are curious:

Congratulations! You found the secret file.


The enclosed QuickTime movie is comprised of several scenes from
"There's No Going Home," the hour-long special that Al did for
the Disney Channel back in 1996.


==================================================================

How to play the movie (.mov) file

==================================================================

Of course, you will need to have QuickTime or MediaPlayer
installed on your computer in order to run it. If you do, go
right ahead and double-click on the icon, then sit back and revel
in all the video's 15 frames-per-second glory.

If you don't have a movie player installed on your computer, you
can hop like a bunny over to www.apple.com/quicktime and download
QuickTime, or point your browser directly at
www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer to download MediaPlayer.
Each player offers Mac or PC versions.

If you're still confused, you can have a friend who's much
smarter than you explain it to you.

If you don't have any friends, you should try to develop your
social skills. And get out of the house more often. Really.


==================================================================

Additional requirements

==================================================================

1. You will need a computer. A Mac or PC will do nicely. If you
don't have a computer, please obtain one as soon as possible.
You may then re-insert this CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and begin
again.

2. You will also need the "Weird Al" Yankovic RUNNING WITH
SCISSORS compact disc. If you do not have one, run out to the
store this very instant and get it. Maybe pick up a few dozen
extra copies for your friends. Once you have the CD, you may then
insert it into the CD-ROM drive of your computer (see requirement
#1).

If this is all too complicated and frustrating for you, we
recommend that you purchase the audio cassette version of RUNNING
WITH SCISSORS for peace of mind, as it does not contain any
multimedia information whatsoever.


==================================================================

How to play this CD's music on your computer

==================================================================

Because of the way the multimedia file is integrated with this CD,
you may have a bit of trouble playing the songs from the CD on
your computer. Sorry, our bad. Here's what you can do...

WINDOWS: Select your CD player from the Start menu:
Start/Programs/Accessories/Multimedia (or Entertainment)/CD Player

MAC: Select "AppleCD Audio Player" from the Apple menu


==================================================================

Shameless plug

==================================================================

And remember, for all your Al-related needs - including concert
dates, merchandise and late-breaking news - be sure to check out
the official "Weird Al" Yankovic web page at www.weirdal.com!
