The Riddle
A rinky-dink station on the outskirts of town
Some guy's feeding dog treats to Bob-O the clown
Red snappers are spinning, and poodles will fall
'Cause this is the channel where we've got it all
Answer
In the 1989 film UHF, George Newman ("Weird Al" Yankovic) inherits a small UHF station -- U62 -- outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. In an early effort before the station is a success, his character of "Uncle Nutsy" accidentally gives Yappy's Dog Treats to his friend Bob who is dressed up like a clown. Other hit shows on the network are Wheel of Fish and Raul's Wild Kingdom, in which a man fruitlessly teaches poodles how to fly. The movie's theme song proclaims "We've got it all on UHF."
