Talk:UHF – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Other Stuff

Style of "Generic Blues"
The listing under "(Style) Parody" for "Generic Blues" originally stated B.B. King. I went back and listened to the track and found that label quite inaccurate. "Generic Blues" sounds much more like the electric Chicago blues of artists like Junior Wells and Paul Butterfield, whereas B.B. King's blues is a more sparse and subdued Memphis or Louisiana style. These styles are just about at opposite ends of the spectrum from one another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.243.85.184 (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Album discontinued
I removed the line regarding the album being discontinued as of August 2009. I don't see any evidence of this one any websites. in fact, Al's site shows that all of his albums are available for sale. there is a similar comment posted on pages for some of Al's other albums.

Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies
Isn't the title of Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies supposed to have an asterisk, according to the article about the single, thus the title would be "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*"? Jed 20012 (talk) 14:28, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I have mixed feelings on this. First off, yes, that's the legally copyrighted name of the song. However, it is never printed anywhere on the album like that. I feel like adding it to the track listing is almost too in-depth for the casual reader, but it does receive a mention in the text.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   22:00, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

UHF Video
The section mentioning what other videos are spoofed by the UHF video lists "INXS - Mediate" as one of the videos...but Mediate's video is a copy of the video for Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues. Is there any indication that Weird Al's version was referencing INXS instead of Bob Dylan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.123.123 (talk) 05:24, 11 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Well observed point. I went and looked at all three videos, and the Weird Al version does more closely match the INXS video visually. Dylan stands to the right of the frame, the INXS members stand to the left or center of frame; Yankovic stands to left of frame. Dylan stands in front of a an alleyway, INXS in front of an industrial area; Yankovic stands in front of an industrial area. Incidentally, Yankovic more directly referenced and spoofed the Dylan video with his 2003 parody BOB (on the album Poodle Hat). --Krelnik (talk) 10:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
