Makes you wonder what kind of research he did for his music videos like Amish Paradise and Like a Surgeon.

Like A Surgeon reportedly came from Madonna, herself: Weird Al called her up to ask for permission to do a parody of her song, and she laughed and asked "What is it called, 'Like A Surgeon?'".
He thought the idea was actually a lot better than what he had come up with on his own, so he scrapped it and wrote an entire parody based off her idea!

Better than his fish version "like a sturgeon"

They could've used that as the theme for Wheel of Fish

I saw UHF in theatres as a kid. My grandma suffered through a lot of weird movies. She was the best.

For Like A Surgeon, it started after the wild success of his first ever original song Eat It, which was then parodied by Michael Jackson with the song Beat It. After some heavy drinking and drugs with his then girlfriend Madonna, he ended up in the OR, where he gained his inspiration.
It's a shame he and Madonna had a falling out after he killed Pablo Escobar, and she took over the drug Cartel. She had a hit done on him on live TV back in 1985. RIP.
Or at least that is what I got from the movie.
