You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Watching old Huey Lewis videos really gives you an appreciation of the budgetary considerations studios were under back in the day. "Guy's, we got the SAG extras for the whole day, we got similar sets, we got wardrobe, let's knock out 'New Drug' and 'Happy to be Stuck With You' today."
@@R3dRuM839 He replied perfectly with the Ghostbusters text "Bustin' makes me feel good" (second line after instrumental). Or a perfect coincidence... who knows
"I Want a New Drug," with its killer guitar riff (courtesy of Chris Hayes), is the album's centerpiece - not only is it the greatest antidrug song ever written, it's also a personal statement about how the band has grown up, shucked off their bad-boy image and learned to become more adult. Hayes' solo on it is incredible and the drum machine used, but not credited, gives not only "I Want a New Drug" but most of the album a more consistent backbeat than any of the previous albums - even though Bill Gibson is still a welcome presence.
@@ol4037 No, not really. It was really my brother who got me a res at Dorisa. You see, I had vowed to get a reservation at Dorsia one day (if not during that calendar year, then at least before I'm thirty). Last time I called Dorsia someone actually hung up on me even before I got to ask, "Well, if not next month, how about January?" I thought about trying to get a reservation for Sean's birthday, but the energy I would have to spend attempting this feat wasn't worth wasting on him. Besides, I thought Dorsia was far too chic for him. So anyway, Sean called me at five from the Racquet Club and tells me to meet him at Dorsia. He had just talked to Brin, the owner, and reserved a table at nine. My mind was a mess. I didn't know what to think or how to feel. How could he get a reservation just like that? What made it even worse was that the maitre d' refuses to seat me until my brother arrived. My worst fear had become a reality. A prime booth across from the bar sat there, empty, waiting for Sean to grace it with his presence. My rage was controlled, barely, by a Xanax and an Absolut on the rocks. Let's just say I was on the verge of tears. While having dinner with him I wondered if it would be too late to ask the waitresses to bring a piece of cake over with a birthday candle, just to embarrass the crap out of Sean, to put that little bastard in his place - but I decided against it.
I must admit, they do have exceptional sea urchin ceviche, and the lobster with caviar and peach ravioli is great.
The 80’s were just natural. And it was way more conservative than it is now. Nowadays people are too focused on the cringe and too scared to be cringy while it only results in more cringe cause you can’t uphold to contain a unnatural attitude or behavior that goes in against natural feelings of confidence and even slight inconvenience. Nowadays there are also too many malicious forces being active to scam everything considered weak and having its guard down. Considering kindness for weakness nowadays is gaining more popularity among the ignorant ones (that also means among the ones who consider themselves to be highly intellectual).
No cellphones, no internet, no bullshit. Life and tech really hasn't given us much since then except for convenience that comes with an enormous price.

It was for me, too. I decided I was going to add this to my morning routine when I was a kid. I put a bunch of ice in my bathroom sink and filled it with water and, before I could even get my face in the water, my mom came around the corner, saw what I was doing, and started yelling at me for wasting ice and I started crying. It didn't go anything like I had envisioned.

As a teenager, I was watching this video on TV with my dad. He was a loud dresser and he loved the red suit. He decided to have one custom-made for $500. We buried him in it in 1992.
Sorry for your loss. At the same time though this made me smile. Your dad sounded like a brilliant man with an equally brilliant fashion sense!! He was buried in style
It's been 40 years since this song peaked at #6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for two weeks, even though it's not a drug song, it's a love song.
Huey Lewis & The News are a pure rock & roll band. They sound fantastic in concert and are great guys as well. No lip syncing and no "autotune". They acapella as good as any of them, too.
Awesome as usual. Met Huey in a “Meet and Greet” USAA Christmas Dance in San Antonio, Texas. Yes it was a “Christmas Dance”, Remember...you were there.. Lol
I was 32 when this song came out. I was living my best life. I worked in an art gallery, I had a sculpture studio and I was producing art. I was exhibiting my art in galleries, and selling my work too. I was wining cash award grants, which allowed me to buy a brand new 1985 Honda Elite 150cc, scooter. I drove it safely for 33 years, and traveled 14,000 miles on it. It is 2023, and I'm 70.
Any Huey song is great while driving, turn up the volume real loud & you just may find people singing with you.... or they'll think you're just crazy. Let's go Huey!
I hear you "hard times",, just know that The harder it is ,,. The greater the Tomorrow we'll be, I say to you Sad times go away ,and let the spirit of Happiness soar to new heights 💫..

Oh yeah! Great MTV video!!! Awesome Song!!! Love this song, member when it came out, I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!! Still have,nt found that new Drug, Ha!! Huey Lewis, Rocks!!
Well, Huey, the pharmaceutical research field is a very complex one. Even if we knew the compounds that could create the desired effect, we still have years of trials, studies, and eventually FDA certification before this new medication might be available.
or just send it out after like two trials like the covid vaccine. who cares if it kills antibodies and sends people to the ER just get the vaccine lmaooooooo

No way.
Damn! Huey is 73 yrs old? Hell yeah, boy!
74 now
What made Huey Lewis and the News stand apart was the Tower of Power horn section. Part of one of the greatest rhythm section to ever exist.
True. In the midst of metal, synth, new wave comes Huey and Robert Palmer
Lots of us teenagers were a little confused but all grew to love em both.
No brass... Saxophones are woodwind instruments!

I MISS THE 80'S!
This was one of the videos I used to wait to play on MTV.
This group had hit after hit back in the day. I miss the 1980s!
Both songs are awesome no matter what!
As a naive kid I swear I always though he was saying “I want a new truck”
Lol
Weird Al actually has a parody of this song called "I Want A New Duck"
There was probably a Chevy ad or something that used it.
I thought ( in kindergarten) that he was saying I want a new drum lol.
Wait....he doesnt say he wants a new truck?!🤣
Huey and the News gave us a great rock song. Well constructed and the lyrics are genius!
I ain't fraid o' no drugs!
Oh my, I love Huey . Good looking and a good vocalist ..
Such great musicians and great lyrics. I wish he'd put out a new album. It would so revive the good ole days of rock n roll.
Sadly he went completely deaf and cant. Man what a soul shaker that is.
You know your old when Huey Lewis get u pumped up! It's f'ing great music though. I'm 45. Lol
I’m still singing this in 2019!
One of my favorites from the 80's.
Chicks in the 80’s were smoking! 💯
I served In 3 inf. Division,, remember when this song came out,loved it immediately,thank you,Huey,don't know if he knows Hueys was what we flew around in,Yeah.
Music beautiful it!. life the years,80's.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I like dissecting girls, did you know I'm utterly insane
Pat Bateman that a killer comment
Ironic, Huey Lewis was in a parody scene of American Psycho with Weird Al from “funny or die”.
someone just posted this comment under the group's Facebook post.. 6 years later.. interesting 🤔😏😅
...you think this guy is more cynical than Elvis Costello? Have you HEARD Olivers Army?
Buona serata ragazzi... Oggi a Verona giornata magnifica... :D
Great album.
This song seriously needs more likes.
Back in the 80s Huey and news were.the definition of COOL
Oh yeah! Great MTV video!!! Awesome Song!!! Love this song, member when it came out, I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!! Still have,nt found that new Drug, Ha!! Huey Lewis, Rocks!!
Well, Huey, the pharmaceutical research field is a very complex one. Even if we knew the compounds that could create the desired effect, we still have years of trials, studies, and eventually FDA certification before this new medication might be available.
hahahahahahahahahha ! Maybe we can do the clinical trials in Europe to speed things up for ol' Huey !!!!
or just send it out after like two trials like the covid vaccine. who cares if it kills antibodies and sends people to the ER just get the vaccine lmaooooooo
@@bitchface235 You are pretty ill-informed, the vaccines went through rigorous testing and trials.
@@Blownkingg top lolz
