Huey Lewis and the News

Huey Lewis and the News are a rock band established in the eighties and the leaders of the blue eyed soul revival of the eighties. They have garnered numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. They contributed to the soundtrack for Back to the Future. The song he contributed, Back in Time, was recycled for the theme song to the animated series. They were offered to do the theme song for Ghostbusters, but rejected. After the film was released, it was observed that the Ghostbusters theme bared resemblance to the Huey Lewis song I Want a New Drug. No legal action was taken. There is a sketch on the iconic PBS childrens show Sesame Street that is based on the Huey Lewis hit Hip to Be Square that is called Hip to be a Square. It teaches about shapes. Weird Al Yankovic parodied Huey Lewis with his song I Want a New Duck.
