Weird Al Yankovic tells the hilarious story behind his parody of the Dire Straits classic "Money For Nothing" ...Called the Beverly Hillbillies...He got Mark Knopfler to agree but Mark said he had one condition. Mark had to play on the parody! Problem is Mark had gotten so loose playing it live that it didn't sound as close to the actual #1 record...Al's guitarist Jim West actually played a more accurate version. But the song became a huge hit from Weird Al's movie UHF. Al Yankovic tells the story in this exclusive interview with Professor of Rock.
