🌟 [ 8 ] They DOMINATED the 80s with 15 HITS...Why Dont They GET ANY RESPECT? [ @ ]
( 97238 viewed : 5668 like : 1213 comments ) Coming up next, a sit down with one of my favorite artists ever Huey Lewis... about one of the best songs of the mid-80s: Hip to Be Square. I swear I've never met anyone who doesn’t love this guy…Turns out Huey was writing a fun little song about leaving rebellion behind to conform to a more traditional lifestyle… Not selling out but buying in. Then years later this happy-go-lucky 80s classic was stolen by a notorious serial killer! Then on another hit from Huey's record, I know What I like: everyone was in awe with the amazing backing vocals. Come to find out it was the offensive line and a quarterback from an NFL team…For about 5 years in the 80s, Huey Lewis and the News were as big as anybody in music. Right there with Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince Duran Duran, and the Police, and they were just a bunch of regular guys. They had 11 top 10 hits in 4 years but then everything changed because of a horrible disease. He hasn’t been able to tour, but in the end, they are still the only news source I trust. Find out why next on Professor of Rock.

It’s Time for another edition from our series Revelations where legendary artists take us for a deep dive into their best songs and you get insight that only insiders get…Today we are stepping into the year 1986 when a man named Huey Lewis and his band of brothers named the News were about to follow up their first #1 hit.. the Power of Love. Really you think about it… from 1984 to 1987 Huey was one of the biggest stars in music.
Sports was one of the biggest records of music’s best year.. 1984. It went to #1 supported by so many hits like I Want A New Drug. The Heart of Rock and Roll… Heart and Soul and if this is It all hitting the top 10 with iconic videos that took over MTV, then in 1985 they had two brilliant songs support the pop culture phenomenon known as Back to the Future in the Power of Love and Back in Time.. and then in 86 they release FORE, that in some respects, was even bigger than Sports containing 5 top 10 hits including the #1s Jacob’s Ladder and Stuck with You.
Doing it All For My Baby, I Know What I Like, and today’s song feature Hip to Be Square. Hip to Be Square barely missed #1… held out of the top spot by two songs. Bon Jovi’s You Give Love a Bad Name and Peter Cetera’s duet with Amy Grant The Next Time I Fall, which reigned at numero uno…in early December of 1986 but Huey and his News would have the last laugh as Hip To Be Square would a huge resurgence in the 21st century after being prominently featured in the 2000 cult film American Psycho starring Christian Bale as notorious serial killer Patrick Bateman.
Such a quotable line. Ya like Huey Lewis and The News.. The answer to that question is a resounding yes… I think I’ve mentioned this before, I’ve never met someone who doesn’t like Huey Lewis and the news. Never.
