• "Lemmings"
• "Dick Lips"
• "Josie"
• "Apple Shampoo"
• "Dammit" (Hoppus) — the song concerns a fictional breakup between the writer and his girlfriend, and was supposedly written in five minutes, on a broken guitar. The music video for the single (released in 1997) was directed by Darren Doane. It features an appearance by Rick DeVoe, Blink-182's manager.

• "Degenerate" is a song written by Tom DeLonge, and was first released, in a slightly different form, in the 1993 release of Buddha. It describes an alcoholic who keeps getting taken to prison for his actions where he receives the consequences from his prison-mate "Ben Dover".

• The song "Dick Lips" is based on the real-life event of singer Tom Delonge being expelled from high school for going to a basketball game drunk.

• Although containing many profanities and other obscenities, Dude Ranch was strangely released without a Parental Advisory label.
• Some songs on the album are followed by humorous spoken word pieces.
