one of the things I like best about Huey Lewis and the News is they always look like they're having fun
their still alive lol
Amen
👍
Correct I agree with you and that's great, I love that!!!! 😊
Agreed!!!!
This band is amazing and criminally underrated
Amen and Boom-Shaka Laka!
We just saw Huey live for the 23rd time since 1987. Never get tired of his music or his shows. Best band ever! Why aren't they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Eligible since 2005, though their first album didn't gain much attention.
Need to get a movement going.
Huey Lewis and the news was, is still one of the Best Bands to emerge!! Their various instruments, Harmonica, Saxophone, that blast the sound in your face !! Love Huey Lewis and the news!!
Can't forget the Hammond Organ
"Best Bands" unnecessarily--incorrectly, in fact--capitalized. Same with "Harmonica" and "Saxophone." But part of the band's name--"the news"--not capitalized. Twice. SMH.
Lived in Bay area long enough to see The News several times. Always a great time!
As harmonica players go... Huey is really is underrated.
Yeah? Who are the top three? Name one.
I actually cant stand the sound of a harmonica, unless Huey is playing it. I hate bagpipes too, I bet Huey could make them sound great somehow. I like this band!
@todd long Steven Tyler top 3? Oh my.
@@paulh7589 you are probably not liking the sound of the chromatic harmonica, which sounds like calliope music. If you like how Huey plays there are lot of diatonic harmonica players you would probably like.
@@jjryan1352 Yeah, you're probably right.
Just wanted to thank you fellas. Years ago you played a show in TN, I think Nashville. My friend invited me to go to your show and we drove my roommates car that stalled in the parking garage. You guys were just coming back to the venue and saw us and help push the car into a parking space. All gentlemen. I will never forget it. Much thanks to you. And for the many great shows you played for us all. Happy Labor Day!
I remember seeing them perform this on SNL in the 80s. Despite their success, I always felt they were very underrated. A lot of talent on that stage. They showed they could play rock, blues, r&b, even some jazz.
cathridge absolutely underrated. In my eyes, these guys and The Smithereens never got the credit they deserve for blending different musical styles to create a signature sound, and crafting kick ass rock 'n roll.
You people who say that don't know what the hell you're talking about.
They were 1 of the most successful rock band of the day.
MIKECNW
You're the one who doesn't get it when the OP says "despite their success". The point was that although they sold a lot of records and got tons of MTV play and airplay, they got discounted, being looked at as too commercial, and probably too poppy and clean-cut. But the fact of the matter is, they preserved the heart of rock 'n' roll and made something unique.
...so next time, consider that maybe you need to take a minute and understand, before disrespecting others.
I agree with them and know what i'm talking about... these guys can PLAY... and well...and always could.. Yes they were popular in the mid to late 80's.. and then their popularity dropped.. but they can still play well. a family member called me after "having" to take a work client to see them. they called me as they knew I was/am HUGE fan. They(musician themselves), called me stating that they were taken back and impressed/surprised how well they played.(apparently wasn't expecting that from a band that was hugely popular). They can play and are under rated/appreciated.
Country as well in at least a few cases
I was so in love dating a wonderful girl in San Fransisco 1981 and 1982 and her favourite club was The I Beam, well I was down at Monterey for the motorcycle races and met her and after the race weekend I drove straight back up for a visit and we saw Huey Lewis and the News and they truly blew the roof off the club. They were having so much fun I don't think they realized just how good they were. I will always remember the I Beam and Olga :)
This song is so underrated . Excellent song !
Still relevant today 50 years later, "raise next, you know damn well I won't" is spot on. Except the line $200 for rent, it's now $1,200 for rent.
Huey Lewis and the News at their best.
Huey Lewis IS the 80s- I just smile anytime I hear any of this stuff....and all the sudden I'm an 8 year old riding his bike to buy baseball cards.
80...80...80..
80...80....80....lo Mejor a~os luz...🇦🇷✝️✌⚽️
I have some for sale lol
He was one of best parts
I think living in the 80s was the best.. everything was just fucking awesome I can't even explain it! Huey lewis is the domb diggy..
Living and a workin! We got this 80s babies!!!
Huey Lewis brought me here. Pure rock n roll at its finest! 😎🤘🤘
This beats the shit out of any top 40 music these days. The lyrics still ring true 30 years later. I still can't believe Huey once played harmonica on stage with Thin Lizzy.
They were such a solid band, through and through.
Best episode in season 26.
Agreed
Wait we're talking about south Park right?
@@goldenz608 just making sure
@@sir.alex_the_69th yes
I agree with you ☺️
I love this song and the harmonica solo this band really know something about the groove👍🦅.
This song and "Heart of Rock & Roll" are 2 of my favorites !! These guys could just flat out jam !! So sorry that Huey Lewis can't sing like he used to because of his health , much love and appreciation for him and the band !! ✌️ & ❤
Simple 80s rock and roll. That is all we needed !
lpgft and hes great harmoniharmonica worker
Nobody talks about them like other lesser bands but they were badass and had a string of hits !!
This song really relates to all of us hard working folks working hard to make a decent living a humanly possible
Facts💯
All I do is sleep and work listen to rock n roll!!
Was vacationing in Clearwater. Wife and I drove over to St. Pete to hit the beach. Stopped in at one of those high rise hotels with an open air cafe for some coffee. Saw Huey sitting alone, with shades on, sipping coffee and reading a newspaper. Could tell he was enjoying his solitude. I did not want to ruin his quiet time, but had to let him I know I knew it was him. Just passed by him slowly, paused and said, Welcome to St. Pete man. He gave us a big smile and thumbs up.
Awww....what a brilliant story!
Good on ya' for not disturbing him.
He was " Working foe A Living"😮
Friggin Huey still kicks at 67. Those 501's man. He was sooo hot in them :)
They were an INCREDIBLE bar band, saw them several times in SF, and the shows were great.
We used to listen to this in 84 'while working in the shop , radio blastin , having fun
+Dan Reese Slightly jealous of your generation to be young adults in the 80s. Although, I do remember when radio was so good back then. In 8th grade wood shop we had such an awesome teacher who was a retired marine and had the radio blastin away while we were working away. That was back in 88. But radio was my life back then.
islandbee So You were born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's . That's still a good time to grow up . Its not just music but history you live in like when the Berlin Wall came down in your time . Im from the 70's and grew up when you could get in bars at 18 but was really getting at 16 , no picture driver license and getting yin yang back then was easy . I love 80 music an at night watch pop up video on VH-1 ,I cant listen to music in this century maybe a handful to 2003 The only downfall of growing up in your time is never not knowing what some freedom was before the internet and the eye in the sky. .
Dan Reese We sure did have it easy back then. I was getting into the beer gardens when I was like 14, and would use my brother's ID to get into the bars around 16 too. That was when they really didn't care as much and would just let you in anyway. Nowadays the door guys are such douche bags if you go to the clubs. Like no thanks man. The music they play on the radio today makes me want to rip my ears off. lol That's why I'd rather just stay home most of the time because of the music they play at most of these establishments. I get really happy when there's a place/radio station when they are playing good old school music. Pretty rare nowadays.
Dan Reese, if I'd been there working with you all, I'd probably been singing this song. This is my favorite song by Huey Lewis and The News, with all due respect to some of the other songs they've got.
They were never given the credit they deserved as a rock n roll band.
Agree !!!
Word
What do you mean?
They were popular for their time.
That's not really true at all.They were given PLENTY of attention in the mid '80s, and the Sports record sold VERY well. The real issue is that their material took a nose dive in quality after that record.
Yeah, Craig's statement makes NO sense. That's like saying Michael Jackson wasn't very popular in 1983 LOL
This is blue collar rock at it's best!
You stated that perfectly no-nonsense Blue Collar Rock
We need more of that these days. That's for sure.
James Faraci we've all been there
That's exactly what I was thinking, a phrase wasnt comin' to mind, was thinking workhorse performers myself!
Let DickinBaus put a smile on your face
Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
100 percent
They will be!
Wait they're not in already??
@@SeanFlygon no, apparently the cure, nwa, and someone named James jamerson were deemed more worthy of induction...not to mention radiohead? Puke.
@@MrJett1971 I guess the heart of rock and roll isn't in Cleveland after all
So, I'm not sure if anyone said this yet, but these guys are officially the guys that got the mullet craze going. This video came out, everyone was like what the hell is that on their heads and the next thing you knew half the guys had mullets. I'd say the boys in the band rocked the mullets better than most - lol. This song was a smash, no one was ready for it, and the band went on to write a crazy number of timeless hits. Bravo gentlemen and it's great to know you are still doing your thing.
Huey for President!!!!😉😉😉
The greatest song Huey Lewis and The News ever released. One of my favorites by them.
I came here for the new South Park episode. Very good song and excellent episode. Love both
This song popped into my head today! Loved this song and Huey! Hope you are doing good! I know you had some hearing issues but just know that your music still plays on and makes us all smile!! ❤❤❤
1984 my wife and I were on our honeymoon playing miniature golf and this song came blasting over amusement park speakers!!!..Of course I was playin air guitar with the club and my wife was dancing around the course!! Lol great memories!!!
.
This song has a jumpin' rockabilly feel to it. Oh yeah, and its message is even truer now than it was back then.
Bob Schneider yes, I know. Things are too expensive these days. That's for sure.
True, my rent is four times what it was back then for about the same size place, but my income isn't four times as much despite having a "better job"!
@@tompaulcampbell I have seen costs spiral very fast. Only 20 but know it will just keep getting worse. In my life time, a box of cereal went from 99 cents to $3.50. Candy bars and gum used to be $0.79, now it is a $1.50 minimum.
Rockabilly in the lyrics and kinda ska in the beats! 😎
Not quite rockabilly. Honky-tonk to be exact.
Pure awesomeness too.
Huey Lewis is one of the most talented singers! I sure miss your music Huey !
He has perfect pitch and, when he sings live, it’s almost freakish how perfect it is. Huey is god-level gifted.
Great song and great band.
The song sure tells the story of working for a living.
I was a kid when this band hit the scene, i loved all their songs then and i still rock out to them today. I miss the 80's
One of the best singers ever to come out of the 1980s and 1990s. I grew up listening to Huey Lewis and the News in High School and Huey Lewis and the News band was 100% rock and roll for us teenagers back then!
long live Huey Lewis and the News
I've seen them in concert many times. Tightest band around...Huey is a great story teller too...hope Huey gets his hearing back soon
This whole song story of my life.
Huey Lewis and The News deserve to be in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
One of the best male vocalists of all times...
A great song, and a good start for the 80s, Hughey Lewis a good rocking band
Caught them a cpl times live. Excellent show. I encourage everyone to get to see them at least once...
This is when music was great! God I miss those days.
Jack dull it ain’t no good now
Yeah, unfortunately music is now a pile of pants, all you get now are singers who can't play anything, everything is slow and boring!!
Yep, Huey and the boys still kick ass!
Mario puts out some kick ass sounds with that bass. He is fabulous.
But the guitars of Chris Hayes and (occasionally) Johnny Colla are pushed back so Huey can rock out with his harmonica solo.
Love this tune. A real foot tapper.
Huey can drive the band with a freakin' HARMONICA.........Yaaaaaaaaaa!
Damn I love this song!
Fucking s me too buddy
A lot of music is timeless, but the lyrics of this song are written stone!
Conrad Sutton except $200 Rent!
These days, you have to have at least 3 other roommates to pay that amount; but that's in a small-market city.
And your point is....
Tina Blake I looked up the average monthly car payment and rent payment and I got $400 car note and $900 rent. Now ain't them numbers SICK?!
“Okay, thank you. That’s enough. Hold it now. Hold it. Hold it, fellas. I’m afraid you’re just too darn loud.”
My favorite band of the 1980's, saw him a nd the band in concert live in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was a great show Thanks Guys!
I was able to see them about 3 years ago. They opened for Joe Cocker, so awesome!
It's the Weekend! Towing the boat up the Cuesta Grade to Lake Nacimiento with my future wife by my side listening to Huey and the boys. Every day was sunny and warm!
great harmonica player
Got here because of the new south park episode, Trey and Matt got good taste in music
Saw Huey at the Garden State, er, PNC Bank Arts Center in NJ last summer. Still a great concert!
Huey is such an underappreciated harp player.
I say it on everyone one of his videos, Huey Lewis fucking ROCKS!
Wow, edgy!
Absolutely fucking brilliant
A good Monday song,they are awesome!
The jam together since they've been 5 years old. One of the tightest bands known to man! They are tight!
A true foot note in music history. While traveling through Europe pre fame Heuy Lewis met the guys from a band called Thin Lizzy and ended up performing with them live and that show was recorded for a live album. All true.
I'm here from the recent South Park episode!
Me too 👍
Haven’t listened to this song in two years and rediscovered it. It’s so much better when you have a Job and can actually relate to what he’s saying
The ultimate anthem for the working class that saw their jobs destroyed by Biden's sig.
@@AllRequired Sure, the guy who brought unemployment to record lows destroyed jobs and the guy who inherited a great economy and got unemployment over ten percent was great for jobs.
Ultimately class X, what would the 80s be without Huey Lewis and the news?
Good tune. Love the effort.
Some of us take. Some of us give. Rarely do we see those who give back what they have taken.
OHHHH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG :)
The epitome of Rock and Roll :)
Most underrated rock star out there!
PURE Rock and Roll !!!
Miss those great days of music !!!
Let's make America Great again !
I also came from South Park lmaoo what a great song
One of the videos of theirs I’ve seen where it’s just Huey Lewis & the News playing & performing. No gimmicks, no stunt casting… but still fun!
Huey Lewis n the news has such a great groove! You can't listen to this and still be angry!
80s were so great with Michael Jackson, Maddonna, Whitney Houston, Genesis, U2, Metallica, Journey, Foreighner, Prince that we forget all the other hall of fame bands like Huey Lewis.
Musically no better decade period.
Most of my home made playlists and CDs are from the 60s, 70s and 80s plus a few from the early 90s.....then everything changed!
Awesome!
❤ 🎉 Happy-go-lucky BIRTHDAY 🎂 Huey!!! 😊
Being old and remembering when MTV played music brought me here. ❤
It was a hit when I had my 1st job in a sweat factory. But at least we had my Hitachi boom box to listen to.
Cartman and South Park! New Season, love it!
Tried to catch them back in 2013 at Frontier City, but he stayed in his bus. After waiting 2.5 hours, I went home. Still dig Huey tho.
Huey started hitting it big at 40+. Ageism in American, the last real -ism, wouldn't allow a 40+ male rocker to make it in 2020, no way.
It wasn't any different back then. Huey transcended all that shit.
Huey hit it big in his 30's which is pretty common.
Good song
I agree you could even dance with someone to this music!Wonderful music,wonderful time!
Woaah what a great song... Just landed here from a documentary about setting up sound of some band 🥰 lyrics touched me.... Ya know ppl like me, workin for a livin'
Huey Lewis and the news is my youth. I listened to it every day in high school. I went to two concerts in Japan. My English was not very good, but I remember the days when I practiced so that I could sing.
“Hundred dollar car note two hundred rent...” 😂 those were the days!
For real, anymore you’re lucky to get a decent apartment for an extra zero on there.
$200 in 1981 would be about $600 in today's money. That's still really damn good.
A hundred dollar car note??!!!! What kind of car was he driving??? And the rent was $200 dollars. Boy, did he have it good!!!!!
My first summer job in 1985 was for $3.35/hr so that is the flip side
@@maryanncampbell3422 Been a long time since he had to work for a living. He's worth $25 million now.
South Park brought me here
Young man here... we were there in 1983 era......! sold alot of Vinyl those years........... Happy 2022 !~
I loved this song in Big watching that as a kid in the late 80s
My life's theme song! 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Who's listening on Christmas day 2016?
Love from Canada
The world needs more music videos with that classic we-just-discovered-MTV feel to them. Oh, and the song is a perfect slice of 80s rock. Ah, Huey.
thank u so much! this song gets me goin when i dont wanna get goin...
great song!
So glad this song was in stranger things, went to two of Huey’s concerts right before he lost his hearing.
Ahhh lucky i bet that was awesome
Saw Huey recently here in Kentucky..He is still the man...Love him
A moment in time...that's for sure!!
Growing up in Bakersfield California and watching MTV
The 80's was unbelievably fun.👍
