Weird Al Yankovic - UHF Lyrics
Put down your remote control
Throw out your TV Guide
Put away your jacket
There's no need to go outside
Don't you know that we control the horizontal
We gonna make a couch potato out of you
That's what we gonna do now
Don't change the channel
Don't touch that dial
We got it all on UHF
Kick off your sneakers
Stick around for a while
We got it all on UHF
Don't worry 'bout your laundry
Just crank up the volume
And yank off the knob
We got it all, we got it all, we got it all on UHF
Disconnect the phone and leave the dishes in the sink
You better put away your homework
Prime time ain't no time to think
All you do is make yourself a TV dinner
Press your face right up against the screen
We gonna show you thangs you ain't ever seen
If you know what I mean, now
Don't change the channel
Don't touch that dial
We got it all on UHF
Kick off your sneakers
Stick around for a while
We got it all on UHF
Don't worry 'bout your laundry
Forget about your job
Just crank up the volume
And yank off the knob
We got it all, we got it all, we got it all on UHF
You can watch us all day
You can watch us all night
You can watch us any time that you please
You can sit around and stare at the picture tube
'Till your brain turns into cottage cheese
Well, now
Don't change the channel
Don't touch that dial
We got it all on UHF
Kick off your sneakers
Stick around for a while
We got it all on UHF
Don't worry 'bout your laundry
Forget about your job
Just crank up the volume
And yank off the knob
We got it all, we got it all, we got it all on UHF
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (we got it all)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (we got it all)
We got it all (we got it all) on UHF (we got it)
(We got it) we got (we got it) it all (we got it) on UHF (we got it all)
We got it all on UHF (we got it all)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all (we got it all) on UHF (on UHF)
We got it all on UHF
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all (we got it all) on UHF (we go it)
We got it all on UHF
We got it all on UHF
We got it all on UHF
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF (UHF)
We got it all on UHF

Weird Al Yankovic UHF Comments
People don't realize that Al plays every singer in this video.
Weird Al should make a sequel to UHF based on digital sub channels in 480p. Maybe call the movie 480 Pixels or 480p
I haven't seen the movie yet, but judging by this awesome theme song and that it's made by one of my favorite celebs, I'll definitely be checking it out! Something tells me that Al's been robbed!
You should watch it!

We got all the Weird Al Yankovic music videos on UHF in 2020?
Who doing both listing to Weird Al Yankoic and watching UHF in 2020?
I can't hear the lyrics with my ear buds in.
The world needs another Weird Al movie. I think he inspired Wayne's World.
I think quite possibly that UHF is the funniest movie ever made. It all works marvellously. Maybe Office Space and Freddy Got Fingered come close, but to me this will be #1!
Anyone else see the movie besides me please tell me yes
I remember my brother taking me to see this movie in the theater. Now I have it on DVD. Muwahahaha!
Wierd al yankovic has been sober from drugs and alcohol for years and is a born again Christian since then and still a great comedian. How cool is that?
Haha. Everybody knows that Al doesn't drink, do drugs, smoke or swear. He's a vegan and a happily married family man.
The only weird thing about Weird Al is that he's not weird.
Or....maybe that is the weird thing about him.
Whoa! Weird Al FINALLY got to parody Prince!!
Easily one of Al’s best original songs, if not the best.
I want 2:22 on an endless loop for Christmas.
Al playing all of these pop stars makes the 1980's look better than it was.
Those women look gorgeous even with moustaches.
Moar Bathtub Al
Damn Al can look like anyone. No, Al can look better than everyone.
30 years later and no loss of charm.
One of my favorite movies ever, it's so hilarious
1:04 that look on his face gets me every time 🤣
Here's to the 1980's
How do you cut that righteous Jim West solo out of the song?
love this movie so damn much!
Yes it is the greatest movie ever conceived
Would watch this channel all day if they had this quality and professional content. :P
i meet him

Weird Al is the king of parody music.
This is an original song Al wrote for his movie. Over half of Al's 14 studio albums are his amazing original songs. But, because Al isn't given any air time, people aren't aware of his great original songs. I don't know why the radio doesn't put funny songs into their rotation.
Btw, isn't it amazing now much he changes his looks for each lead singer he parodies in this?
Anybody here from Game Grumps?
100% Excellent!!!
Looks like he got the same actress as the original video for the Randy Newman/I Love LA bit.
this and pee wees big adventure were very important when i was growing up
Roger Ebert gave this movie 1 star. Roger Ebert is a bitch.
"Mmmmmm a Twinkie wiener sandwich..."
UHF...one of the many films that flopped when released...and would become a cult classic!
This music video is great!
2:08 Mike Myers? What is he doing with Al?
I love the Sledgehammer reference
Happy 30th Anniversary of UHF Weird Al Yankovic is a great comedian actor and voice actor and musician 👨🎤
This was such a good movie
The one hundred twenty two people who dislike this have probably never seen this movie. A classic that hasn't been as recognized as it should have.
I love How He THrows That DOg In THe Kool-AId
An original song😳
This is so epic.
I really want a sequel to this movie but I don't see how they could top the original.
Don't touch the channel! on UHF!
Can we just address how much Al actually looked like George Michael?
I think I miss a bit of the joke (in UK) as I don't know what the UHF is a about. Brill video love the Prince moments & exploding TV. I do think MTV which is what he's mocking changed so much for music, but it was a rare treat in my home. Now hear is wear I get to see the new & fav's of music, hope to see Weird Al tour in UK soon.
Hey, Al -
I'm not sure if you noticed, but UHF is now being offered Free (with Ads) on YouTube! Just in time to mark its 30th Anniversary!
I can't remember the one year I lived in the eighties but I assume that this video covers most of it.
LOOK AT MY BUTT!
Saw this movie 7/16/2019 baybee!
I personally liked his movie UHF did anyone else
The movie deserves an Academy Award!
Yeah I know right!
I think the movie itself introduced a good number of concepts to me. For example, the Twinkie Dog. I never would've thought of using a cream filled sponge cake for a hotdog bun.
STATE OF SHOCK INSTRUMENTAL?
The music video is just as excellent as the film.
Wait, where do they got it all?
1:53 Oh the irony
i was looking to see if he did talking heads haa here it is 😲🕺👍🐨💨💹
0:54 thats funny
I was gonna spam the uhf lyrics but the thing is lagging so badkly lol

The more I watch Weird Al’s old music videos, the more I seriously appreciate the level of detail his production team put into mimicking the look of the source material. Especially here.
I bought this on dvd the first chance I had years ago. I have now turned my son onto Weird Al. Keep being weird and make use smile and laugh man. You truly are talent.
This is just too groovy.
Doskonały
I think it would be the perfect time to make a sequel. We are now living in a time full of video streaming services now. The sequel could be a satire on modern video streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, CBS On Access, DC Universe, and Disney +. They could called it "UHF On Demand"
😎👍✌
I finally got to see this movie it needs a sequel
You really had to have been there, watching MTV, the popular vids, the MTV ads - his parodies are spot on perfect. And I don’t gaf what the critics said (even Siskal and Ebert, RIP), UHF was DAMN funny. Wish AL had done more movies.
Never act like Axl Rose again
I loved this movie and so did my kids (old enough to watch). We just were talking about Red Snapper last night!
You get to drink from the fire hose! :) Lucky kid I want to do that!
Literally one of my Favorite Movies of all Time, Up there with Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, and a large assortment of Marx Brothers Movies.
2:26 The Beatles reference - Your Mother Should Know from the Magical Mystery Tour
When I was a little child I used to think these clips from UHF were all parodies of movie scenes because of the Indianna Jones and Rambo one but they're all from an actual film my mind was blown
Horatian/Menippian Satire at its best. (we should all blow up the TV... after watching UHF of course.)
My family was the last holdout of UHF. We had our old clunky 13-channel console TV until 1970; it did not get UHF channels. If I was lucky enough to have a friend with UHF, I could then watch "Soupy Sales". Alas, by the time my family actually got an updated TV, Soupy was no longer on-the -air.
I got you beat. My parents didn't get rid of their old B/W magnavox until 1975.
Is this a parody of anything?
No, Al wrote this for his movie.
I hate my life
Emo Phillips should have gotten an award for best supporting actor in this movie.
yea yea UHF 2
Sequel should be called "UHF +". It would be a parody of streaming video services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney +. It would make more sense if they did a sequel now.
This is the media of a 1984-style dystopia.
Such a great song. I remember hoping that it might become Al's first non-parody hit single.
This movie deserved so much better than what it got.
UHF is for movies what Earthbound is to video games.
Considered now to be an indispensable classic, but was CRIMINALLY unappreciated in it's time.
On the 25th of January, this movie will officially turn 30 years old!
Such a shame this movie never had the proper chance in the theatre when it was tossed in the middle of one of the biggest summer blockbuster seasons there ever was.
Shockingly, I think it holds up better than most of them.
I mean way back then, I watched E.T as a kid and loved it. Today, I think E.T is shit.
But UHF will never get old. Ever.
@2:05 when Al gets blasted in the face with a chair.......
1:09, is that Scarlett Johansson?
Definitely not, Scarlett Johansson was born in 1984 and this video was made in 1989.
1989-2019
He just nailed Axl Rose.
Absolutely brilliant
Here from game grumps
The "fire house" part always gets me lol
#UHF #UniversalAnimation
WOW! I had no idea UHF got it's own music video in addition to the film!
Weird Al is a Behemoth, a Giant & ( dare l say it ? ) a GOD !
UHF is a cult classic.
