I feel sorry for the 8 people who hate this and the band.... that just goes to show you that they obviously do not know what GOOD MUSIC is.

[encierro75]

You can see the Twin Towers at 0:32

[irish89055]

@encierro75 ya think??

[Buckeye1403]

I love this music.... These guys are one of my all time favorites

[dannyell90]

most music these days are crapshit.. most, not all.. but still, 80's are the best era ever.. i wish i was born in the 80's..

[JSenator06]

@dannyell90 I was born in the 80's ;)

[adamjeffreysmith]

@JSenator06 I was born in 79 but I like it all and thank God have progressed with the music. Nothing wrong with likin stuff from past as long as you're not stuck there.

[StefaniStevensBand]

A GREAT VIDEO!

[MrTonyAsti]

Can YOU say American Psycho?!

[GLXgrove]

I seen Huey Lewis 20 years ago in Concert and I wasnt sorry I went. GLXgrove

[Heidibear76]

@GLXgrove ...I'm sorry that I had to read that.

[NikeIsAwesome8]

damn stop the arguing

[NikeIsAwesome8]

i hate my generation (2000s)

[Firebirrd85]

this is an absolute classic

[gregorybrian]

hated this song when it came out. still hate it. had to visit here to see if my feelings have changed. if anything, i hate it even more. songs about music almost always suck. every time i hear it, i imagine it wafting through the aisles of a decrepit dollar general store in the suburbs. or maybe a nursing home.

no wonder it always included in the list of worst songs ever recorded. the only song i hate worse than this one? hip to be square, also by you-know-who.

[AliensFan25]

@gregorybrian maybe worst to you cause you have no taste in music Justin Bieber lover, go take your complaints somewhere else cause no one wants to hear you QQPP about songs you don't like that actually made the charts and were hits, so go back to the cave you crawled out of and shut your damn mouth.

[gregorybrian]

@AliensFan25 excuse me but crappy songs make the charts all the time. it's something called "commercialism" and it's aimed at consumers, not connoisseurs. for the record i'm a degreed musician, composer, award-nominated sound designer and all-around media monster. i think i know a bit about music. i only expressed my opinion about the song. you, on the other hand, chose to trash me personally and tell me to "shut (my) damn mouth." i think you've clearly demonstrated who has "taste."

[BenSpeirs]

@gregorybrian if you were all those things then maybe you could see past your clearly biased opinion and perhaps see why this song, whether you like it or not, is both fantastically composed and performed.

[gregorybrian]

@BenSpeirs all opinions are biased. that's what makes them opinions. i was simply expressing my own. you expressed yours earlier. you would probably hate the music i like. if you must know why i don't like the song, it's because i find the melodies and percussion uninspiring, the subject matter narcissistic (i hate songs about music). why is there this lead-up to a solo which you just know is going to be on a guitar but turns out to be a... saxophone? that is lame, no matter how you slice it.

[XyzzyZork]

@gregorybrian I could be wrong, but I believe that they used the sax because it was hugely popular... Note the Eurythmics, Robert Palmer, ZZ Top, etc. all made use of some kind of sax.

I recall that for elementary music classes in 86-87, all city rental stores ran out of saxophones. They convinced kids like me to take up the clarinet or similar instruments, so every school band was like 85% reed/wind and sounded much worse than a more balanced beginners' band likely would. *g*

[gregorybrian]

@XyzzyZork i love all instruments. i only judge how they're used. popularized usage of certain instruments doesn't equal genius or high quality to me. in every movement in the world of pop, you'll see that pioneering artists did something interesting and then some artists who aren't very pioneering latch onto the pioneers and make craploads of money only because they take the original idea and mix in their knowledge of marketing to look like groundbreakers in pop music.

[XyzzyZork]

@gregorybrian Anybody can get *a* degree: the school and level are what matter, and very similar goes for award nomination, which could be a local club, 'net group, or something prestigious.

"Composer" is just like being a "writer": even people that idly practice claim the title. Even then, even being great at one genre/sub-genre doesn't make us qualified to judge other ones; it doesn't even mean we're good at judging our genre.

Hope you see what I'm getting at; I don't intend offense.

[gregorybrian]

@XyzzyZork look, i'm a connoisseur as well as a consumer. i like what i like. i was just responding to BenSpeirs' and others' implication that my opinion is based on ignorance. for the record, i studied, in university, under accomplished recording artists, including one from windham hill, people who've jammed with miles davis and taj mahal and many others. i've performed and studied music from every corner of the globe. take my judgement as you will. ignore it. amen it.

thanks.

[XyzzyZork]

@gregorybrian BTW, I agree about crap making the charts on a regular basis, though I focus primarily on lyrics. The whole conversation reminds me of a disagreement I had once:

Me: I love this song, even if it is depressing.

Ex-BF: But it's pretty!

Me: What?! It's about a couple that's been best friends since childhood but lost each other because they grew apart!

Ex: But it's PRETTY!

In other words, it all depends on who you ask & what aspects of the music they natively focus on!

[gregorybrian]

@XyzzyZork couldn't agree more. i've heard great lyrics but boring, predictable instrumentation and melodies. and i've heard the reverse. for me, it's about balance. great lyrics and great music in the same song. if you can capture the essence of the meaning of a song with both, you've really got something.

[Pluh88]

Neil Boortz

[tonylaf123]

love this guy

[spookeddudedevito]

when i was little i thought he said the heart of rock n roll is in sweden

it would have been better if he said "you know i made that casserole that your eatin"

[brikfilm]

@spookeddudedevito i thought that it said that it said "the harder rock and roller's new yorker

[ShyTempest]

damn that girl at 3.27 is HOT! This is a good song, and should let those little brats making the "junk" they call music today that what they're doing now, is just embarassing and stupid.

[slammedf1]

lol I agree Dreamersgirl.  My dad played this all the time and I remember it so well. I always crank it up when I hear it.

[ngkspark71]

1st band I saw in concert..20 years ago. still think they are great

[savageSS46]

i was born in 1975 i love this band ! think about back to the future with out huey lewis

[WorldChallenge]

Overlooked classic rock artist.

[weapon13WhiteFang]

Haha! Born in '91, and I recall dad playin this in hs old work van along with "Buttermilk Biscuits" on an old mix tape he would play X3 This song, BB, and Baby Likes To Rock it Like A Boogie Woogie Cho-Cho Train, bring back ALL kinds of Memories! EEEK!

XD Thnxs for postin!

[xpxzampop]

@weapon13WhiteFang hey don't say you're born in '91 like it's that long ago. I was born in 1990 and it was pretty recent, okay? haha i guess I'm a little touchy

[weapon13WhiteFang]

Hahaha! I know it wasn't! Hell I'm only eighteen now, so I know thats considered an adult, but I'm still a kid, dammit! XD

But with so much shit that happens in your life, time can seem long ago. The 90s seem like ancient times now to me, even though I know they weren't.

All depends on the person, I guess ^.^

[JOglesby09]

This song rocks!!!

[dirtylook420]

grew up with and still love

[Downs2440]

This man has the best music videos.

[iwantpresents]

0:58 lol

[dancerdoodle]

Hey, JP! I was born in '37 and I KNOW Huey is HOT!

[JPMcFly1985]

That's neat - I think that proves just how much of a wide appeal 80s music has. :)

I have an older dad (1938, so about your age) and he liked some of these songs when I was a kid, including this one.

[JPMcFly1985]

I totally hear all you guys saying about feeling from the wrong time. In a way I've felt it even more since I was born in '81. It's real iffy for my age group since some are quite old school, but some are hip hop fans or mainly like current stuff. The ones who diss the 80s make me feel old.

I was listening to this stuff in high school (during the late 90s) so I guess I was retro before that was even common, lol.

Huey was always one of my childhood faves, esp since I'm from the Bay Area.

[CapPicard]

I used to have an LP of Huey Lewis with this song on it. I probably played that one alot on my record player :D

[MrPhooey]

@JPMcFly1985 I was a late bloomer as I was born in '88 but all the 80's music I grew up with. I used to play the HL&TN tape everyday when i was a kid, that and van halen, diamond dave, pantera, etc... love the old school rock & roll/metal

[Grannyslittlegirl]

@JPMcFly1985 lol, you think thats bad? I was born in '94, and I can't even listen to modern music! This is my favourite band, none of the singers have quite the same charm as artists like Huey Lewis. I would LOVE to see them in concert, they are one of the few bands I know of that are still together and touring.

[JPMcFly1985]

Yeah, some people your age group are actually probably more retro than mine (which I think is cool). I guess because new music isn't that good, lol. Plus I was a teen in the 90s when rap was huge.

I agree there's just something happy about their music and I've heard they're still great live.

[sierria64]

ooooh huey was so fine

[maxdoomfire]

it sounds like the heart of rock in roll is in cleveland

[Derek799]

would have been funny if that taxi cab had broken both of his legs

[AvatarMike17]

Also, would people agree with me that they should always play this song with Its Still Rock'n Roll to Me. I mean, both are kick ass songs, and they are so similar in meaning:D

[AvatarMike17]

Kinda suprised they don't mention New Orleans, Atlanta, Vegas, Houston, Philly or Chicago, or many other towns that had important aspects on music and rock, yet they mention Austin, Tusla, and San Antonio, and for some reason DC when they should have said Baltimore.

Still, save the most important cities for last, In Cleveland (danana) DETROIT!

Sheer Awesome!

[Grannyslittlegirl]

lol, now THIS is music. I can sing along to all their songs. My parents say hat I was born a couple of decades too late, because I'm fifteen, and they are my absolute favourite band. I will not tolerate listening to modern music. The radio put on the song 'Heart and Soul' and I freaked out XD It was fun.

[Dajibbly]

lol, I feel the same way. I am 23, born in '86, and I still like alot of songs before my era. I flip some old people out walking through the halls of the nursing home humming/singing "If you're blue, and you don't know where to go too, why don'tcha go were fasion sits..... puttin' on the ritz!" (or anything else from the Ratpack). It's like I say, I don't hate any type of music (although alot of rap seems stale to me), but you can find anything from the 50's- to the present in my music library.

[Jgeneraledger23]

You probably flip them out since the 1984 song by Taco "Puttin on The Ritz" was actually a remake of a 1930 song by Irving Berlin, hahaha

[Dajibbly]

I have many different versions, including the original and a technoish remix

[Phyl8116]

I love this song, I mean looooove this song!

[zestamaster]

true dat

[italianman1992]

And I also agree with other people's comments--this is real rock. And also, the Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Queen, that's all real rock as well. Today it's all these Disney tweens that have 0 talent. (no offense to any fans) Huey Lewis is one of my favorite 80s artists. My parents sat near him at a baseball game in Boston when they went in 1984. Lucky . . .

[NoisemakerArrow]

Why "no offense to any fans"? If someone sucks at singing, they shouldn't be a singer. Fuck the kids who scream at the Jonases.

[italianman1992]

Although I'm practically 21 years old and Huey was a few years before my time, I used to love listening to his music when I was little. One of my favorite songs is "Stuck with You." I still have the FORE cassette tape we used to listen to (and a vinyl record but it skips) and I pop it in every now and then. I love the song but the heartbeat at the beginning is so scary--imagine waking up in the middle of the night in the dark and hearing that O_O

[stopfederalism08]

and i just love the faces they make at the punk show

[stopfederalism08]

this is such yuppie rock, but its so catchy lol i still like it but call it what it is lol

[dhillan85]

true true...this is damn yuppie...cool as hell though...considering we have to put up with nickelback these days

[GordonRamsayFan]

lmao HUH?!? he says "where else can you do a half a million things, all at a quarter to three" and my God is that true! (but you will need to have actual money, leave the monopoly money at home this trip :-))) cause New York will cost ya for that good time

[walkerth58]

I don't why he says NYC a million things to do at a quarter to three? Million things? Yeah right like sit at a bar... wait for a bus at the Port Authorithy... get blown by a prostitude... there the three I can think of at that time.

[MOHtonTorpedo]

I'm only 20, but I think this is excellent music. The lyrics are spot-on, too; I hate modern day music, and I love stuff like this. Huey Lewis is awesome!

[fanuvgod1]

Somebody's gotta say it....that's why Boortz is on the radio! lol

[soulgirl66]

Ahhh....the memories. First saw this on "Friday Night Videos" on Ch. 5 (NBC affiliitate in Memphis).

[Nashmanz]

I totally agree with Domandcaro, I'm 26 and good music is good music.

[domandcaro]

im 27 and this song gets me pumped just like mudvayne and godsmack

[sporejunkie89]

I love how they make the guitar sound like a car horn.

[Dreamersgirl]

This song totally reminds me of my childhood! My dad was play this song all the time!

[vjstonevfr]

no rat nick it is not dead just starting over 65 year old drummer just hit any small bar in your area old r/r WILL BE BACK but we need some new ROCK LIVES FOREVER NO STOPING IT CAN'T STOP THE WAVE It will just live on forever keep it simple and play it hard but from the heart THAT CAN'T BE STOPPED

[ratnick]

Every generation's music pissed off the older generation. That was rock'n'roll.

Today, it's different. Little disney kids making music and calling it rock is not music!

Sex,Drugs, and Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chrisiscool123]

The sad part is while people are masterbating to Miley, things won't change by bitching, just stop listening to the crap they call music, and listen to stations that only play the good stuff, they'll get the picture, educate the kids FFS, make them hate the crap that comes out nowadays

[45Thunderbird]

Agree'd like the numbers do the talking.

[WCmogul]

amen!

[bigcountrygeorge]

@ratnick i'm 14 and i love this group. 80's music is the best!!!!!!!

[JSenator06]

@ratnick It's Hip to Be Square ;)!

[henrydhcrawford]

@ratnick 1st of all, if you don't think there are still musicians rebelling against the norm, you are fooling yourself. look at bands like the So So Glos, Small Wonder, Titus Andronicus, Gowns, and so many more, and you'll see the same youthful power that was alive in the Clash, Chuck Berry, and Iggy Pop.

2nd of all, I don't know if Huey Lewis, really qualifies as music to make daddy upset with

[43gracie]

Its good to know someone else was in love with Huey also.Still am!!!!! He can love me all over any time!!!!!!Your still hot Huey

[Angel120465]

He was so HOT!!! I was so in love with Huey in high school...lol

[chicodonny]

HUEY SUCKS

[dynelol]

Megan Meier yourself.

[ratnick]

This song could not have come out today because the heart of rock & roll has died.

Been dead for quite sometime now.

You can thank all the kids in high school today.

[PinkFloyd312]

it is about time someone realized that other than me!

[AlaskanTank]

umm my high school band plays this song for pep band. we really enjoy it and so do our fans

[bobinfiler]

Huey Lewis rocks

[rep0eagle]

I wouldnt say underrated...they were quite popular in the sports era. Huey attended the USA for africa we are the world event.

[bdsninja]

Greatest Band there ever was, I got my first kiss because of them back in the 80's :)

[bostonbruinsfever]

Great Video

[hermanlovesrockband]

my mom and dad are goin to see them in las vegas with my dads work on july 29th i think

[12any]

I agree with everyones comments The News is an all around Band with all the showmenship, and who has a voice like that these day I hate American Idle

[2boys1mama]

Has anyone seen my personal cover of this song in its live@25 form? If not check it out.

[BigFatFairy1970]

Let me see if I can remember all of their names.... Huey Lewis, Johnny Colla, Chris Hayes, Mario Cippolina, Sean Hopper, and Billy Gibson. See, this was back when people made music because they loved music. It wasn't all about making money, getting movie deals, getting deals to be product sponsors. It was all about the music.

[BigFatFairy1970]

God, look at Chris Hayes... I wanna babysit him. Sad. I am so old.

[IAMCK74]

Huey Lewis and the News could come out today and have the same impact as they did in the 80's. Retro but cool as shit. One of the most underated bands ever!!!!

[Gazelle53]

They are far superior to any group today.

[piloneman]

Well there sooo many great rock songs I can think of.

In this case, it's "heart of rock and roll" and

"I want a new drug".

[balzysalzy]

My friends thought I was a geek for loving the News but I guess that is what happens when you have stupid friends. Rock on forevor and always Huey.

[19chucki74]

Quite possibly one of the greatest rock music videos of all time, as well as the best rock song ever made. No wonder I don't listen to this other stuff at all. Rock on, Huey!

[disappears]

this dam song kicks ass over and over again i can't think of any song thats better.  ok mybe one

[Nita131313]

I'm 15, yet this is one of my fave songs! This kinda music kicks today's music's butt.

[internationalnineone]

When I was a little, little kid, this was my favorite song when it came on the radio.

[disappears]

me too

[snigglydorite]

*0's were the music. That was my time in school anyway. The funny thing is my kids love the 80's too.

[deathboy13669]

I dont care what people say but man that is what I call music. I love the 80's. Also I am looking for 80's fans. If you wanna join my group just ask me to be your friend. Take care.

[radioguy86]

I'm 21 years old and this music rocked. I'm trying to start a band that sounds a lot like Huey Lewis and the News. Does anybody think this sound would work now days???

[ben30352000]

I think that's a great idea. Today's music is getting stale and boring and needs something fresh. I think the future of music is in the past. Lately you see more and more retro sounding bands that still manage to sound unique and manage to hit it big (i.e. Wolfmother, The White Stripes, etc). Honestly, I do think that sound would work now days.

[piloneman]

Well you know,most of todays music is lacking of a certain magic to it. Most of them are lacking of the 80's feel to it, that what I mean. 'Cause the 80's really had a certain spark and originallity. But every now and than there comes certain band with that fire to it. You'd be surprised. Gotta take some credit for some newer bands out there - Some do try very hard to keep it old-school. Hopefully,I'm not the only one who feels that way.

[Theory1066]

Don't worry-you're not. Even a teenager like me can tell you that "new" music needs a lot of help.

[piloneman]

yeah, seriously. Most of the new bands don't really have that certain spark like the band of the 80's do. But everynow and then, there comes certain band that plays great stuff - old-school style.

[piloneman]

yeah, seriously. Most of the new bands don't really have that certain spark like the band of the 80's do. But everynow and then, there comes certain bands that plays great stuff - old-school style.

[piloneman]

i do mean that in a good way.

[tonylaf123]

@piloneman not only the 80's

it goes back to the middle of the 50s

blues and rock n roll, led zeppelin, alice cooper everyone, they made great music too

[piloneman]

@tonylaf123 Oh, I knew that. The ones in the 80's were my favorite:)

[washtheapple]

that is the best idea i've heard in a long time. please do it, and best of luck!

[chicodonny]

this song sucks and the group sucks,

[ecwforever]

Wrong on both parts but I bet you don't get a lot right.

[EllisDuvalll]

Now this is the music I grew up listening to, the music of today, it just dose'nt have the "heart" that this stuff dose

[evansgie]

Ah, the good old days. Where the organ player used a Hammond B3, not some wimp-ass little toy keyboard. And Leslie speakers too. Bet the "keyboard" players today could'nt even pick one up.

[evansgie]

And the drummer knows how to hold the drumsticks.

[CarCrazy12804]

THE #1 song of the 1980's in my opinion!

[archangel2467]

Fantastic! OMG!

[blakbonez]

man, those were the days. sometime i do miss the 80's.

[Gilgamesh73]

Sometime? For shame...

[Gazelle53]

Great video, awesome song. If this isan't a 5 star video, I don't know what is.

[sapphiresteddibear]

Classic song. It's a pity the message isn't true anymore. If it's still beatin' there isn't an amplifier loud enough to make the young people hear it.

[CriticalListener]

One of my favorite songs of the 80's!
