Huey Lewis & The News

Recommended Posts

Guest Bertil Olsson

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.

Ever see the "Power Of Love" video?

 

It's on the BTTF DVD set. Man did that suck.

 

But the song is awesome.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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...

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.

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?'.
