Apart from Billy Milano, it featured a completely different line-up compared to the first album released a little more than a year previous – it included among others, Tim Mallare on drums, who later went on to play with the thrash metal band Overkill.

This release has two parts:

-"The Movie" (track 1) which is a spoken word story featuring actual songs in between the dialogue for a fake movie.

-"The Sound Track Without The Movie" (tracks 2-8). It is the actual music from the movie separated into tracks and without all the dialogue.

Incorrect Track listing

The CD lists the following erroneous track list on the cover:

No.	Title	Length
1.	"Surfin' U.S.A."
2.	"Surf's Up"
3.	"Sargent Drexell Theme"
4.	"Mr. Oofus"
5.	"Party Animal"
6.	"Color My World"
7.	"Shout"

• This track list is in fact incorrect, as "The Movie" is track one, "Sargent Drexell Theme" is only included as part of track one, and there is an unlisted CD-bonus track ("New Song") as track eight.

Actual Track listing

All songs written by M.O.D., unless stated otherwise

No.	Title	Length
1.	"The Movie Goldfish from Hell Totally Narley Talking by Katrina & Bill Surfin' U.S.A.

4.	"Mr. Oofus"	3:36
5.	"Party Animal"	3:20
6.	"Color My World" (Chicago cover)	1:57
7.	"Shout" (The Isley Brothers cover)	4:26
8.	"New Song" (Scream cover)	1:52

• Track 8 is a CD bonus track.
• The album includes several uncredited samples from the 1987 film "Back to the Beach", starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Lori Loughlin and Connie Stevens.
