Line 408:
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: When performing "Dog Eat Dog", a style parody of [[Talking Heads (band)|Talking Heads]], Al wears a suit with ''massive'' shoulder pads as a spoof of David Byrne's [[Memetic Outfit]]. He also wears it briefly in the "UHF" video.
* [[Shout-Out]]: These lines from "Amish Paradise":
{{quote|''[[Gilligan's Island|There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar,]]''
''[[Gilligan's Island|Not a single luxury!]]''
''[[Gilligan's Island|Like]] [[Robinson Crusoe|Robinson Ca-rusoe,]]''
''[[Gilligan's Island|It's as primitive as can be!]]'' }}
** According to [http://www.weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0400 Word of] [[Word of God|Al]], "Slime Creatures from Outer Space" includes a line from an [[SCTV]] sketch, and the vinyl of ''Dare to Be Stupid'' had "[[Talking Heads (band)|More Songs About TV and Food]]" etched into the inner groove.
