Do you remember the movie "UHF" with Weird Al Yankovic? I love this movie. That song spoofed a music video for Dire Straits "Money for Nothing". I love that song, it was from "The TV Album".

I like to listen to it somehow.

In the series there was a musical blurb that would occur usually when Ellie would either waltz down the staircase or around the cement pond and a guitar would play, it sounded like something Les Paul would play, does anyone know how to download this riff or how I can get it?

I have that dvd of "Weird Al's" music videos. here also, is an interesting tidbit of news about the song/video to his parody "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies". There were 2 stipulations:

1. Mark Knophler (Dire Straits) let "Weird Al" parody the song "Money For Nothing" only if he had the original title of the song in the main title. That's why it is titled the way it is.

2. he also let him do it ONLY if Mark could play lead guitar on the song to get the ever popular guitar break solo right at the beginning. On the song I've heard that is Mark Knophler playing lead guitar.
