This song speaks the truth. In music theory the tactus is a series of short periodic beats that best stimulates people into song and dance. It was a term created in the Renaissance where musicians created a steady tempo by measuring their heart beats per minute.
When rock & roll first became popular the most commonly used tempo was that of the tactus. Thus the heart of rock & roll is the beating.
I remember being a little kid and watching the Disney channel doing a mix of this song with their cartoons of Micky and Daffy etc... Thanks for the memories!
I Love This Huey Lewis And The News 1984 Hit, "The Heart Of Rock And Roll," Did Played, During The Soul Train Line Dance Segment, During The 447th Edition Of "Soul Train" On May 26, 1984.
Which rappers said that, Jay-Z ?, Will Smith ?, Sean Combs ? or some narrow minded nitwit who is trying to be someone else ? Besides rock, Huet Lewis and The News is an excellent blues and a'capella band. No one with knoweledge of his business would say that.
As a matter of fact, Huey lewis and The News will be at the Grammercy Theatre ( The old Blender Theatre ) on Feb 9th. So much for Blender magazine.

The openin' was a piano played backward. Billboard's #43 song of '84. Huey and the News hit #5 rock, #6 pop, in Billboard. It's beatin' in Winfield, IL! God bless!
And according to Blender, this is supposed to be the 6th worst song ever made? While every rapper in the world is rapping about sex, drugs and getting wasted?
Just who the fuck was the judge in this contest? A four-year-old.
Now I have a valid rason to use that trash rag as my TP.
@Tanvan180 That's just it. That shitfest shouldn't be considered music, but some dumb jackass had the balls to compare computerized singing with clapping and shitty lyrics to this by calling it so.
I love this song so much. It was my favorite song when I was little. I remember when my dad would take me to preschool in his 1974 Chevy Blazer and he would play this song for me every morning on the old analog cassette deck. Now its my blazer and I'm going to play the shit out of this song when I drive after I burn it to a cd.
happy early birthday italianman1992. huey lewis was my first concert i ever went to when i was like 10 or 12 they were awesome. i remember the crowd was cheering so much saying we want huey we want huey. they were about to leave and he says you want us to say huh. the crowd just keeps sayng huey huey huey and he says we got more for ya and played for like another hour freakin awesome concert. i would love to see them again for real. thanks for the post gibson and keep my butt updated with more.
Same here . . . I Wasn't born until 89 though and I'm going to be 21 in two months. We have the cassettes and we used to listen them when I was a kid. I always called this the "buh-boo song" because of the heartbeat. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and you hear that O_o. lolz.

@Monkeychild41 Can rap even be classified as music? I thought it was just profanity with a drum machine.
