The album featured many music cuts from the movie as well as some of the commercials ("Spatula City") and other parody bits ("Gandhi II"). The album also featured new original material like "The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota" which brought the running order up to album length. ==Track listing== #"Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies" - 3:11 #*Parody of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing", a retelling of the story of the characters of the television show ''The Beverly Hillbillies''. #"Gandhi II" - 1:00 #*Skit: commercial for Rambo-ish TV movie with Mahatma Gandhi as the protagonist; references the film ''Gandhi (film)''. #"Attack Of The Radioactive Hamsters From A Planet Near Mars" - 3:28 #*Rock song about a number of mutated hamsters terrorizing the planet #"Isle Thing" - 3:37 #*Parody of Tone Loc's "Wild Thing", about a girlfriend who introduced the singer to the television show ''Gilligan's Island''. #"The Hot Rocks Polka" - 4:50 #*A polka medley of.... #**"Brown Sugar", #**"You Can't Always Get What You Want", #**"Honkey Tonk Women", #**"Under My Thumb", #**"Ruby Tuesday", #**"Sympathy For The Devil", #**"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll", #**"Miss You", #**"Shattered", #**"Let's Spend The Night Together", and #**"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". #***all by The Rolling Stones. Arrangement and new music by "Weird Al" Yankovic. #"UHF" - 5:09 #*Rock song; title theme to the movie. This is the second longest version, the longest being in the movie itself, and the shortest being released on later albums such as ''Greatest Hits, Volume II''. #"Let Me Be Your Hog" - 0:16 #*Rock snippet, heard in the movie as Uncle Harvey lounges in his pool. #"She Drives Like Crazy" - 3:42 #*Parody of Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy" about a girlfriend with bad driving habits #"Generic Blues" - 4:34 #*Blues-style song with deliberately uninspired lyrics #"Spatula City" - 1:07 #*Skit: commercial for spatula outlet store #"Fun Zone" - 1:45 #*Theme to ''Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse'', the main show-within-a-show in the movie.

(band)'s "Stand", about the canned luncheon meat SPAM #"The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" - 6:50 #*Lengthy folk-type song about a family road trip to a tourist location in Minnesota.
