Its hip to be square

[LiberalDeathMachine]

if you try to buy this off amazon MP3, the only album review is by a guy named Patty B who quotes the whole scene from American Psycho

[springblend]

LOL I love how all of the comments are from American Pyscho!

because Its HIP TO BE SQUARE..

[Hissanrach]

You got a dog, a little chow or something? Heheh....

[jjeremmy]

10 people can't get a reservation at Dorsia

[jjeremmy]

Sabrina, remove your dress.

[buckdichbitte]

In 87, Huey released this, 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 importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

[TeamPlasmaKingN]

@buckdichbitte HEY, PAUL...

[Sunmayful]

@TeamPlasmaKingN Is that a raincoat?

[TomthatiscalledTom]

I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?

[zombieheadcrab]

All you fuckers Talking about Psycho, It really ruins it. That movie was truely fucked up. He (Lewis) was quite pissed when he heard his song was used in American Psycho.

He shoulda sued.

[zerker12568901]

@zombieheadcrab its hip to be square... not in your case

[rko619wrestlingfan]

@zombieheadcrab i agree. i'll never watch that crazy shit.

[danielwhitman]

@zombieheadcrab how do you know he was pissed you ignorant twat.

[bboytrix1]

@zombieheadcrab well no because it was important in the book, and is important in the film for a number of reasons. hed be a dick to sue. free publicity? whats the point in sueing for that. and how does talking about american psycho ruin the song? it was a great song before the film and still is, regardless of what films people reference in their comments...

[thebrett2727]

[EchoBoomer1987]

In 1984, James Cameron made Terminator, a movie quite known in popular culture. I think people tend to overlook the films message of altering the future and it's dark atmosphere. Also the fact that it's overshadowed by Terminator II's special effects which came out in 1992.

Hey Shane!

[Hulk2k6]

Now I get the vision of 80s Marching Band and Chess club kids popping and breaking to this with varying degrees of sucess after hearing this song.

[Hellblazer311]

7 people can get reservations at Dorsia.

[AutumnViewer]

HEY PAUL!

[torontomapleleafsrul]

"not if you wana keep your spleen"

[Amesang]

Can you keep it down? I'm trying to do drugs!

[IMrDavidBoring]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

[AxeInfection]

NO ALLEN

[Lufttygger306]

Those pictures in the video are stupid

[tisbutafleshwound]

I play this song whenever I get a reservation at Dorsia.

[hosvai]

Patrick Bateman needs to kill 6 people.

[Blackbohnster]

@hosvai Now 7 people, cause they don´t like "hip to be square"!!

[zomgthesoftness]

[mulder19x95]

can i ask you something ? why are there copies of the styles section all over the place do you have a dog a little chow or something haha. No Allen. is that a raincoat? YES IT IS in 87 huey released this fore their most accomplished album i think their undisputed masterpiece is hip to be square a song so catchy most people don't listen to the lyrics but they should because it's just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trend it's also a personal statement about the band itself

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@NewEraBoy11 glad to hear, I mean see it ;)

[Tekkenfreek234]

@TheNewRiflemanBob TRY GETTING DUBS NOW YOU STUPID BASTAAAARRRDDDD!!!!

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@Tekkenfreek234 whats dubs?

[Tekkenfreek234]

@TheNewRiflemanBob Check 'em

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@Tekkenfreek234 is there any way that you can provide a logical and practical answer?

[Tekkenfreek234]

@TheNewRiflemanBob It's a meme from a website called 4chan where users would attempt to predict the last two numbers of their post number.  People would often try to get "doubles", the last two numbers the same, such as 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, etc. This annoyed most of the user base to the point where the creator of the website replaced the last 3 digits of the post number with X's and the only way you could see a post number was through a reply.

[Tekkenfreek234]

@TheNewRiflemanBob Thusly, they took a screenshot from the scene in American Psycho in which this song is featured and started posting that screenshot along with "Check 'em" , encouraging others to check their post number to see if they got "dubs".

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@Tekkenfreek234 You have turned what should be a simple answer into a complicated one. Congrats.

[TearsOfASadClown]

Hey Paul!

No, Allen.

[RpGfreak901]

Hip=2B^2

[Flush333]

"..ends with the masterpiece "Hip to Be Square" (which, ironically, is accompanied by the band's only bad video), the key song on Fore! which is a rollicking ode to conformity that's so catchy most people probably don't even listen to the lines, but with Chris Hayes blasting guitar and the terrific keyboard playing who cares? And it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends – it's also a personal statement about the band itself, though of what I'm not quite sure"

[Hayashigame]

@Flush333 Thumbs up for literacy!

[Zitrusfruchtt]

[skillbill83]

@UnmeiNoShi Actually it´s " American psycho". It´s a movie based on a Brett Easton Ellis book. The main character is played by Christian Bale.

[CorporationLulz]

@skillbill83 Good idea you stupid fucking bastard. *hits you with axe*

[wopdzordon]

it's hip 2b². The d is silent, but actually it's about the parameter b and twice its square. I am sure!

[VannevarBush]

@wopdzordon

Is hip some kinda step function? XDD

[wopdzordon]

@VannevarBush Well, we should at least know what hip(2b^2) is. But to be honest, I don't quite get it...

[VannevarBush]

@wopdzordon

I think it is easier than I thought: b is just the atomic orbital and hip is the number of electrons inside it...and therefore Nils Bohr claimed it's hip = 2b²

[wopdzordon]

@VannevarBush huh! Sounds great. I didn't know he claimed that though. I never cared too much about bohrs model of heavier atoms. But the lyrics make sense now: I can tell whats going on: its hip=2b²...I watch'em on tv (don't think there were any flatscreens when the song was made)

[VannevarBush]

@wopdzordon

Yeah I think thats basically it..

PS

Hey Bohr! *CHOP* TRY GETTING A KOPENHAGEN INTERPRETATION NOW YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD ...XDDDD

[wopdzordon]

@VannevarBush browsing your favourites I start believing you are in fact German. If so, why not watch the videos I uploaded - I guess you might like them. Maybe I'll make a cover version "It's E |psi> = H |psi>"...
