According to Chris Hayes, Huey stumbled into the tour bus after a gig in Cleveland, and sang the original lyric off the top of his head... "The Heart of rock 'n roll is in Cleveland..." The other bandmembers said "Yeah great... work on it."
The heartbeat you hear was recorded inside the chest of Huey Lewis himself.
woooooohoooo he sys BALTIMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND BLENDER IS FOR NIGS AND PUNKS........thas why they dont like this....exactly....WHO is Blender mag?? fuck em
Blender magazine..??? What is a "Blender Magazine"...???? Probably is not in circulation or has a readership count in the teens,,!! This is a great Huey Lewis rock and roll song and I was living in Detroit at the time. So much for musical taste....Blender Mag....!!
anybody who loves music in general can appreciate a song like this.I will never understand people who dump on a band or song just because of its genre.A good song is a good song.
Huey Lewis & The News and the Heart Of Rock And Roll; is a good song, it shows they have really been in music when they started doing music video hits, lots of talent.
Huey scored a perfect 800 on the math section of the SATs... He studied engineering in college. He could have been successful at whatever he wanted - he chose music because he could have fun while making well-deserved bank. Right on, Huey. Thanks for all you've given us.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What's this assclown doin' now? Sellin' underwear down at the mall? Anyone that ever bought his music should be deported (after being pistol-whipped).
I bought all his albums, come and "pistol whip" me if you can, boy... lol and beat the shit out of yourself since you looked the song up and listened to it. (and you know you did, probably try to sing it but you can't and now ur crying and angry)
Well the only other singer in the 80s this big was Michael Jackson so I'd say Huey is doing pretty damn good since he's still alive. And the reason you don't see Huey anymore is he made so much money he dosen't have to work another day of his life. Huey called it quits when he was still on top.
A great song for having a good time. Is it an all time classic ...no, but whoever thinks this is anywhere near one of the worst just hasn't been listening. There are hundreds of songs produced that have no beat, crappy lyrics, and performed by people with little or no talent. Huey just likes to have fun and his music reflects that. No crying in your beer or social commentary here. Nice for a change.
Less a song than a craven attempt to curry favor from drunken arena crowds trained to roar on cue when they hear their citys name mentioned. Coming off more like one of your dads golf buddies than a rock star, Lewis rattles off a list of American cities in a monotone so bland that subbing in Bakersfield for San Antone would drive the fans wild, and hopefully distract them from the fact that the bar bandcaliber music suuuuucked.
Huey Lewis knows what R n' R is all about: Having fun! And they made sure all fans did...I've seen them twice and let me tell you, they love their fans and they show it. Roll on, Huey!
I can't believe this was rated as the #6 worst song ever by Blender magazine. I love this song! How dare they disrepsect Huey, he was probably rockin out while those punks were in diapers.
@Connerisawesome Yeah, I totally remember reading that. #1 was Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City." Anyway, "The Heart Of Rock And Roll" had no business being on that list. Really, Blender. Of all pop songs ever made...EVER, and you guys chose THAT as one of the all time worst. Let's just that reading that honestly contributed to me not renewing my subscription. It just tainted my view of the writers: holier-than-though hipster douchebags.
@Connerisawesome Fuckin Blender magazine?? what the fuck is that? do they rate Bamix vs. Kitchenmaid fuck em they wouldn't know Music if they heard it
@Connerisawesome The folks at Blender are a bunch of faux-hipster clueless idiots. Yeah, the video is dated, but how could it not be? It's almost 30 years old! However, the song is not dated, it's as hot as ever, and always will be a great rock 'n roll song by a great rock 'n roll group.
@Connerisawesome You're exactly right. He was rockin' while most magazine editors were still in their cribs and suckin' on pacifiers. It's better than the crap they have out there now. At least you can understand the words to it.
dude. I just saw the list. and I'm like WTH. I'm 26, so I listening to music like this when I was really small, can remember the music from radio while in the car seat.
Hey man thanks so much for posting anything by these guys is the best do you think you might be able to find and post another song of there's it was called little bity pretty one yes it's a remake of and older song but they did it too and very well to thanks and Merry Christmas
@oldtimer, i think the reason you feel love, and I do too, from this music is because whether he did or not, Huey looked like he loved what he did, he felt the love from his crowd and projected it back through his music, you dont get that anymore, you just dont (btw i wasnt even born when huey was singing and even I know they dont make em like that anymore)
I so feel LOVE in this music. I mean, I am in love with this song, but I feel love in music, in rock'n'roll, in USA, in what they are...I mean...Oh what the hell! I don't know what I mean now but I just feel it, d*mnit!
really? AWESOME!! Where at? damn i wanna go see them more than any other band i can think of atm, is there a place I can find out what their tour dates are?
Yeah, and the dumb right-wingers back then were all up in arms about "race rock", "the devils music" and the pornography of it all. They called folk music "socialist" too. Idiots, with no sense of culture or history to this day.
Dipshit. Check out who pushed civil rights reforms and who obstructed... Dems opposed integration and Republicans insisted on it. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and read a history book.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Civil rights Act of 1964. And any Democrat voter who opposed integration became a republican by the next presidential term, hence Nixon's famous race strategy in the south. I do read history books. Is this why Republicans don't support education either?
Um, no. CURRENT Democrat Senator Robert Byrd FILIBUSTERED the act. He's still in the senate and is still a democrat. Hillary Clinton called him the conscience of the senate. This is a man who opposed desegration of the military, filibustetred the voting rights act ,and was in the kkk. Al Gore Sr. and Bill Clinton's mentor Senator William Fulbright voted against the act. Democrat Fritz Hollings place the confederate flag over the SC capital building. He was a democrat senator until 2004.
A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the 1964 Voting Rights Act than Dems did. In fact, CURRENT Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, filbustered the Act. Al Gore Sr. voted against the Voting Rights Act.
Johnson passed Civil Rights legislation in the 60s & commented: "Well, there goes the South." He meant, of course, that now the South would become Republican as they now saw the Democrats as the party standing up for the blacks. He was right.
I've heard about this new conservative-bent revisionist history lately. Republicans being a less racist party than the Democrats is laughable.
boatsrwood These guys are right. I'm probably older than most of you and I remember. Somehow along the way the black people got it in their heads that the DEMS were ALL FOR THEM,,,they're wrong.
bennyh12345 You're right,, I lived thru all that but for some reason you CANNOT convince these die hard liberals that it was the REPUBLICANS that WERE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. BYRD & ole man GORE were never ever for the black man. Who do you think Al Gore is for NOW ? HIMSELF that's WHO !!
I want Huey Lewis and the News to Comeback. This was a really good band and they just don't make music like that anymore. it is really sad. Did the News Break up or are they just on a really long vacation? I miss them! :-(
I saw them play to a packed house in Primm, NV on 7/29 and they are they are still playing and making great music!!! Huey and the band were incredible.
this song will live forever as a great american rock song, too bad they were in a world with boy george and crap like that, they really got down to good ol rock n roll man i love it
born after 1997 makes u 12 who are the pics b/w ? DAMN I SAW FILM -- NOT VID NOT TAPE 35 MM LIVE DAMN IM OLD SO COOL TO SEE ELVIS 1957 LITTLE RICHARD -BUDDY HOLLY -- BILL HALEY AND THE COMMETS CHUCK BERRY AND ALL OF THEN got me behind a set of drums for 30 years ------no regrets HL&TN puts that all back with this song Im 65 and can still rock my ass off HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL learned from the masters Wanna hire me : $100 for night free booz DRUMMERS ARE SLUTS
Im the one barely breathing, give me another cig, but this song would have been #1 1956 was there played it all and HL&TN captured whole thing 30 years later so cool !!! Still work s 2009 ROCK ----- ROCKS FOREVER Keep is simple and drive the shit out of it old drummer with sticks in hand and beating the shit out of his legs to this song ---I have no choice And I still want the little blond rockin her ass of at 2:00 ,250,,3:12 old drummer
there is a video of a song sung by Huey that starts off with a wet guitar and water droplets dripping off it; does anybody know the name of the song or if the video is here somewhere???
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name will appear
bands like huey lewis,the outfeild,men at work all never did get the credit they should have perhaps it was because back then there were tons of good bands and not just the few they force us to listen to on radio today
that is definitely true...they were great in their time and they are great now. their tunes are catchy and they make ya wanna dance! its too bad they are not recognized more!! great vid.....thanks!
Huey Lewis & The News has to be one of the most underrated and under appreciated rock bands that has come out. Their songs were always catchy and had great sound to them but you notice nobody ever puts them high on a list of great bands
hey copo. i think they were underrated because of the jersey mob muscling radio stations across this great nation to play that underbit fella bruce springsteen. imo.
The album that song came from was the first cassette tape I ever had. And I STILL have it to this day! One of my fav albums of all time. I like how they give a holler to Detroit.....MOTA CITAAIIIIIIII !!!
Same here . . . Huey is a few years before my time (I was born in 1988-1989) but we used to love listening to the Sports cassette when me and my older sister were little. I used to call this song the "buh-boo" song because of the heartbeat. I still have the Sports tape (and we have FORE as well) and I pop it in sometimes but the sound isn't that great :(
So just because someone has tattoos and or piercings, makes them non-classy? Hmmm...where I come from, judging someone solely on their appearance is pretty trashy. Ever heard of Nikki Sixx? That man is a class act...and SMART and TALENTED. I'm a huge Huey fan and miss him and the boys but come on...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not quite sure if you mean subliminal messaging or are just bitching about some radio guy. If it's the later, here's a newsflash: No one cares. Take it to your myspace, or whatever.
Listen....I know many here are getting nostalgic. That is good. This music was great.
But where is the good music today? It is such trash and crap!!! Most of the music is sung by no talent pretty faces. MUSICAL TALENT =/= LOOKS!!! I won't even get into rap crap. Oh no.
okay i am a 13 year old girl who is in love with this band! my dad played them 2 make me go 2 sleep like my lullaby! i have grown up with them!! <3333
play it on high pitch ...........its a awwsome song

bands like huey lewis,the outfeild,men at work all never did get the credit they should have perhaps it was because back then there were tons of good bands and not just the few they force us to listen to on radio today

Huey Lewis & The News has to be one of the most underrated and under appreciated rock bands that has come out. Their songs were always catchy and had great sound to them but you notice nobody ever puts them high on a list of great bands

I can agree with that.

hey copo. i think they were underrated because of the jersey mob muscling radio stations across this great nation to play that underbit fella bruce springsteen. imo.

The album that song came from was the first cassette tape I ever had. And I STILL have it to this day! One of my fav albums of all time. I like how they give a holler to Detroit.....MOTA CITAAIIIIIIII !!!

Same here . . . Huey is a few years before my time (I was born in 1988-1989) but we used to love listening to the Sports cassette when me and my older sister were little. I used to call this song the "buh-boo" song because of the heartbeat. I still have the Sports tape (and we have FORE as well) and I pop it in sometimes but the sound isn't that great :(

These guys had class. No tattoos, body piercings, no trashy look. Clean cut and great sound. So sad that this style has almost vanished.

kid rock?! never heard of him/her. Must be a passing fad.
persius07 2 years ago 3
So just because someone has tattoos and or piercings, makes them non-classy? Hmmm...where I come from, judging someone solely on their appearance is pretty trashy. Ever heard of Nikki Sixx? That man is a class act...and SMART and TALENTED. I'm a huge Huey fan and miss him and the boys but come on...
gerbergirl 2 years ago 2
Nikki Sixx is not much of a class act. He and Tommy Lee were arrested after a Mötley Crüe concert in Arizona for inciting a race riot.

That bit at the end. Is that somehow implying that the 'Heart of Rock'n'Roll' beats within Huey?
Gratifying to note that the Ramones & Johnny Thunders died for nothing.......... ("~)

I'm not quite sure if you mean subliminal messaging or are just bitching about some radio guy. If it's the later, here's a newsflash: No one cares. Take it to your myspace, or whatever.

But where is the good music today? It is such trash and crap!!! Most of the music is sung by no talent pretty faces. MUSICAL TALENT =/= LOOKS!!! I won't even get into rap crap. Oh no.
