Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?

Okay Patrick Bateman

I don't dislike them

The height of yuppy drunks music.

Huey was cute, his music was too cute.

What, exactly, do you claim are their "too New Wave" songs?

I'm kinda familiar with their early stuff, but would consider it about as New Wave as Rick Springfield.

Never have I ever.

I do feel for Huey, though, since he ended up with Meniere's disease.

It can be the bane of musicians.

"Heart and Soul" was their only really good single. The rest sounded like they were recorded already knowing which commercials they'd be used for six months after dropping off the charts.

OP = Shill for the nonsensical new Broadway musical trying to drum up some chatter

Sorry I forgot to sign my name at OP.

OP "He's been compared to Elvis Costello"

The News were the band playing on Elvis Costello's first album, My Aim Is True. They were known as Clover then.

R5, movie quote

Coincidently, a motorcycle went by me today playing Huey on an oldies station and I hadn’t heard them in ages. It didn’t sound as good as I remembered but I have been sober a long time.

Huey's willy is mighty fine.

Elvis Costello would like a word with you OP

r13 proof?

"He's been compared to Elvis Costello..."

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

"...but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."

Well, OP, you're analysis is certainly... unlike any I've seen before.

Isn't there a jukebox musical Huey's trying to make happen? Is that why you asked, OP?

Huey Lewis was manly-looking and handsome, compared to the other male pop stars of the time.

Robert Palmer was also manly-looking & handsome, in a different way.

Next up, OP compares The Cowsills with Velvet Underground.

OP Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston, had four number-one singles on it?It's hard to choose a favourite among so many great tracks, but 'The Greatest Love of All' is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really.

I'm crying at the people who are taking this question seriously. R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R10, R12, R13,R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R19 DOESN'T GET IT! You guys need to brush up on your pop culture references. DL has gotten stale sadly.

Op, do you have a little dog?

A...little poodle?

Or something?

Why are the Styles Sections of the New York Times spread all over the floor?

I mean, fuck me.

Ugliest sofa I've ever seen.

You're just old, OP. Fuck right off.

I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches.

Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

I didn't read the book after seeing an excerpt in Spy, I believe.

Does he mean all this stuff or is he being facetious?

Huey Lewis was blessed with a big cock.

No, but I love this mashup where he is relegated to simply being a backup dancer

Huey walked so Hootie could run.

Oh dear, is this DL going meta again? With a “privileged” few then poking fun at those who respond? Tiresome.

Huey and the Metallica guys are neighbors in Marin.

Huey really knew how to dress his crotch. Some times he'd dress it to the left, and other times he'd dress it to the right. Not many men can do that.

That little hottie Chris Hayes always got my juices flowing.

R33 I recall crushing on Chris Hayes myself.

Huey was one of my first crushes as a baby gay.

Sigh. The people who still don't get the reference and are answering seriously make me a little sad. This website used to be a bastion of pop culture.

Huey Lewis and the News were the Bruno Mars of their day. A wedding band makes it big. Their music sounds like covers of older, better music.

R15 He was in Altman's film "Short Cuts" shown pissing off a big rock with a big cock.

the fault is with the OP, not the other posters.

Do You Believe in Love has a fantastic opening hook!

Here's Huey pissing scene in that movie. If he's as big as they claim then he's a big time grower. Those bulge shots must be all balls.

Sabrina, it's an ass. Don't just stare at it. Eat it!

Huey Lewis and the News was the kind of music Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Downey Jr. would dance around to in their underwear while doing lines of coke as they prepared for a night out on the town.

No I sure as hell don’t

Here you go for the people in the back who are still lost.

Actually I do, OP. If this doesn't take you back -- I got SPORTS as a part of Columbia's get 10 for a penny and sign up for our club. Get ripped off later!

I always enjoyed "If This Is It" off that album, a cool du-wop track that seemed different than the rest. I Want a New Drug, Heart and Soul, and Heart of Rock N' Roll were great too, off that album.

I didn't like his Back to the Future soundtrack songs, because, Back to the Future (and Michael J. Fox) got on my nerves. So I didn't want to hear those. I must have been the only teenager in the 80s that hated MJF and Matthew Broderick. Smug, smarmy, little twerpy men trying to be cool and somehow America was buying it.

If you have any sense you’d listen to Klymaxx

R36 I initially wondered whether or not it was a quote from American Psycho, but I only saw the film once, and I'm not inclined to have total recall.

Please never mention fucking Phil Collins in any thread I am not expecting. I came here simply for nostalgia but got hit in the face with Phil and now am so nauseous I can barely type. But still, Huey was hot. Probably still is.

People are still not getting it

Or not caring & just talking about the band ... because they can.

Huey was never ever New Wave and not even remotely like Elvis Costello.

I liked his hairy chest and big cock, though.

durrrr.....guess I didn't realize this was from American Psycho

[quote] People are still not getting it

How dare they!

Huey was exactly my type. I don’t remember the music too much but he was handsome. One of those guys who looks 35 for about 40 years.

Not all of us cared to watch that movie.

[quote]One of those guys who looks 35 for about 40 years.

Like Dataloungers! Except they look 22 for about 40 years.

Huey was early ally against AIDS back in the 80s. The band made a large donation to a hospital in San Francisco and were part of a benefit concert.

Patrick Bateman covers this subject well in “American Psycho”

Getting back to Huey's big cock, Connie Hamzy, the famous rock groupie, told Howard Stern it was so big she could barely fit it in her mouth.

She also said Peter Frampton was as big as her pinky. Hard.

I think in the 80's when a lot of musicians were androgynous Huey was appealing because he was manly looking. I used to drool over Bon Jovi and now when I look back at them in the 80's they were these skinny guys dressed ridiculously.

Some of us wrote off Bret Easton-Ellis and ignored the American Psycho when we learned he's a shallow cokehead plagiarist, OP. We don't want to know the references.

R60, RIP - Connie Hamzy

In '87, Huey released 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.

It shows his bad taste that his favorite Phil Collins song is Sussudio
