What's your favorite Huey Lewis song?

This is a very high energy band. I saw them live once and they about blew my eardrums out! (still ringing)

This is one I really like, Workin' for a Livin'. Man, Huey can play the mouth organ (harmonica)



My name's Huey Lewis and maybe, for the first time, you just heard THE NEWS!

always liked the reserve BTTF song (not the vid though!)

The Heart of Rock & Roll

I really cant pick a single favorite song of theirs. They are such a talented band with so many hits so it still kind of perplexes me how they just seemed to drop off the radar after the 80's.

They were the first concert I ever went to - they were opening for Heart. That was in like '80 or '81, I think, up in Anchorage, AK.

I can't help but think of Bobcat Goldthwait's line about Huey Lewis back when they were a hot musical act, where Bobcat said something like, "If you saw Huey Lewis walking down the street, you wouldn't think, 'there goes one of the hottest rock stars today,' you'd think, 'hey, isn't that a friend of my dad?'"

The cover band I'm in used to play Working for a Living, but when we thought about how many people in the audience were out of work we dropped it. Switched it out for Heart and Soul.

Yeah. I wondered what happened to them. So much talent. Like I said, very high energy. I like that in a band.

So now, I Want a New Drug. Huey Lewis and The News!

"I Want a New Drug" - I always heard that Ray Parker re-used this music to make Ghost Busters . . . sure sounds like it.

There's a whole drama behind that. Huey Lewis & The News were originally supposed to do the main theme song for "Ghostbusters" but were replaced with Ray Paker by the producers for whatever reason.

Huey Lewis and the News sang the National Anthem at Game 4 of the NLCS this year.

Happy to be Stuck With You

Lots of favorites but one that always makes me smile is "Give Me The Keys (and I'll drive you crazy)"

According to what Huey said in Behind the Music interview he settled out of court.

I didn't know there had been a counter lawsuit after the Behind the Music Interview.

I've got their "Sports" album from 1983. Some pretty good tunes on there.

"Naturally" is my favorite, but this one is a close second.

Just listened to "Doing It All For My Baby". Great song.

A dual winner. A great movie and a great song.
