JN News Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 My personal favorite was "Jacob's Ladder". Yours?
Guest Bertil Olsson Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 One time Huey Lewis and the News played a show in Antwerp. I was a child then. Mister Lewis was very drunk and proceeded to urinate himself during the course of the show while yelling that we had unpleasant odors. It was very unforunate. I really like that Back to the Future song though. The one about going back in time.
Guest slacklet Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Ever see the "Power Of Love" video? It's on the BTTF DVD set. Man did that suck. But the song is awesome.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Brunzell's Favourite Huey Lewis Songs: "The Power of Love" "I Want a New Drug" "Jacob's Ladder" "If This is It"
Precious Roy Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Power Of Love Back In Time I Want A New Drug If This Is It Hip To Be Square Working For A Living I was a big fan of theirs when I was in elementary school, back in the early days of MTV they were one of the bigger video bands. I still have a soft spot for their hits and own a copy of the Sports album. BTW, bit of trivia, the band that became "The News" was Elvis Costello's backing band on his debut record (and for my money his best) My Aim Is True.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Fuck Vh1 -- I like the <{ of Rock 'n Roll. But the only reason I like it is because it's used as the bumper music to Neal Bortz's radio show...
pochorenella Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Not really a fan of most of their stuff, specially those awful "Perfect World" songs from that album. The only one I really liked was "Jacob's Ladder" (written by Bruce Hornsby, mind you), and although I never really liked "Power of Love" it kinda grew on me after all this time.
DCMaximo Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 I'd go for: Hip To Be Square Stuck With You Jacob's Ladder
mister foozel Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 pretty much all the songs on "sports" walkin on a thin line, i want a new drug probably my favorites
starvenger Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Ever see the "Power Of Love" video? It's on the BTTF DVD set. Man did that suck. But the song is awesome. Huey's cameo was great. "I'm afraid that you're just too damn loud." "The Power of Love" "I Want a New Drug" "If This is It" Their doo-wop stuff is OK, but well... it's just not the same, you know?
Guest JebusNassedar Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 My vote goes to "Hip to be Square", and I dont like the song that much. But, it's my favorite for one reason; it's usage in American Psycho. I fell out of my chair laughing.
NoCalMike Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 My vote goes to "Hip to be Square", and I dont like the song that much. But, it's my favorite for one reason; it's usage in American Psycho. I fell out of my chair laughing. Oh so true. I will always hold a special place in my heart for that song after it's use in American Psycho.
mw679 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I've always been impartial to the "Sports" album. "I want a new Drug" and "Bad is Bad" are probably my two faves. Huey Lewis is just one of those things that if you grew up in the '80's were always there, MTV, VH1, radio, etc. Ahh, childhood memories...
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 It's "I Need a New Drug" My favorite is "If This is It"
Jobber of the Week Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I'll mention Heart And Soul because nobody else did. Also, that acapella "It's Alright" isn't bad, although it has a bit too much of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" in it.
King Kamala Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Do You Believe In Love If This It I Want A New Drug
mw679 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 It's "I Need a New Drug" It is? Funny, because I'm looking at the back of my copy of "Sports" and it says the title is "I WANT a New Drug"....
Guest GreatOne Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 My vote goes to "Hip to be Square", and I dont like the song that much. But, it's my favorite for one reason; it's usage in American Psycho. I fell out of my chair laughing. Oh so true. I will always hold a special place in my heart for that song after it's use in American Psycho. "Hey Paul" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TRY MAKING A RESERVATION AT DORCIA'S NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!!!!!!!!" (So hip to be square.....................)
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 It's "I Need a New Drug" It is? Funny, because I'm looking at the back of my copy of "Sports" and it says the title is "I WANT a New Drug".... Well, Sports is wrong then. Oh, and Kinetic hates this topic. Just so you know.
JN News Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Posted July 14, 2004 Huey Lewis once sued Ray Parker, Jr., because his song, "Ghostbusters" sounded alot like "I Want A New Drug".
Guest GreatOne Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Huey Lewis once sued Ray Parker, Jr., because his song, "Ghostbusters" sounded alot like "I Want A New Drug". I guess Dave Mustaine better be on the lookout for any lawsuits from Diamondhead for 'When' going nearly note-for-note with 'Am I Evil?'.
redbaron29 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Lets not forget "Cruisin" from the movie "Duets"
snuffbox Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Id just like to take a moment to remind you all of something very, very important... Huey Lewis sucks it like a hooker.
