Up the Creek is a 1984comedy film, directed by Robert Butler. Although the film itself was not as popular as other "college romp" films, the four lead parts all came to the film with experience in popular comedies, most notably Animal House and Porky's.
Plot summary
Bob McGraw, Max, Gonzer, and Irwin, students at Lepetomane University (known derisively by some as "Lobotomy U"), are volunteered to compete in a collegiate raft race. They are "recruited" by Dean Burch who uses records of McGraw's checkered past as a means of blackmail to get them to compete. "You're not AT the bottom of the list. You ARE the bottom of the list!", says Burch. He even offers them degrees in the major of their choice as additional incentive. They're up against Ivy University, prep schoolers who, with the help of an Ivy alumnus named Dr. Roland Tozer, plan to cheat their way to the Winner's Circle.
Their adversaries also include the Washington Military Institute, disqualified for their attempts to sabotage the other schools rafts. Captain Braverman, the leader of the Military men, has it in for McGraw because he personally curtailed the attempts to sabotage the other rafts. Also entered is a team of beautiful co-eds, one of whom ends up falling for Bob. The dangerous rapids as well as Ivy's cheating end up disabling many of the other teams' rafts. It is all down river adventure for the Lepetomane gang.
Lieutenant Humphrey Fairweather, a well-meaning but accident-prone naval officer with a passion for rockets, is posted where he can (so the navy hopes) cause no further damage. He is given command of a mothballedRoyal Navy vessel, HMS Berkeley, which has had no Commanding Officer for several years. She is moored at a wharf on the Suffolk coast near the (fictional) village of Meadows End.
He discovers that the ship is woefully under strength and is forced to contend with the schemes of his bos'n, Chief Petty Officer Dogerty (Sellers). He and the crew are running several profitable businesses, including a same-day laundry, selling naval rum and cigarettes to the local pub, the Pig and Whistle, and making pies and pastries for sale to the villagers. They also keep pigs and hens.
After the naive Fairweather is innocently drawn into the enterprises, he is politely blackmailed into covering for them. But when an Admiral makes a surprise inspection, the story eventually comes out. Whilst angrily haranguing them, Admiral Foley accidentally launches Fairweather's experimental rocket, and the ship is sunk.
"Up the Creek" is a non-album single by American rock band Cheap Trick, released as the title track for the 1984 film Up the Creek, appearing on the film's soundtrack release as the first/opening track. The song was written by Rick Nielsen and musician/songwriter Randy Bishop. Bishop also wrote/co-wrote a lot of the soundtrack's material, including "Chasin' The Sky" by The Beach Boys, "The Heat" by Heart and "One Track Heart (Passion In The Dark)" by Danny Spanos.
The single was released on 7" and 12" vinyl in the United States, along with promotional 7" and 12" vinyls. The single version lasted a duration of 3:03 whilst the soundtrack version lasted 3:58 in length. The single and soundtrack album was released via the record label Pasha, owned by producer Spencer Proffer. On all version of the single, Nielsen's name was incorrectly titled "P. Nielsen".
The B-side "Up the Creek (Acappella Intro)" added an Acappella introduction to the track, lasting a duration of 3:48. This version remains available on vinyl only to date.
