The soundtrack to a movie that bombed against the Batman/Indiana Jones summer of 1989 and then spent three decades becoming one of the most beloved cult comedies in America. The album is a grab bag by design — parodies, originals, and actual skit audio — and it plays like a transmission from the strange UHF channel the film imagines. Mark Knopfler himself played guitar on “Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*.”
