Way Back Wednesday: Huey Lewis & the News

The first thing you think of when you think Huey Lewis is probably, well, The News, but you also probably think of their smash hits "I Want a New Drug" or "The Power of Love" (the theme from Back to the Future). Those are some hot tracks, but my favorite Huey Lewis & the News song is "Do You Believe in Love?"  I was oddly obsessed with this song for many years, and I don't know why.  It's not a favorite song.  If anyone were to ask my favorite 80's song or to list 100 songs, this one wouldn't even come up on my radar.  But, it was a song that was stuck in my head for most of my college years and beyond.  It's a super catchy song and it's a happy song.  It was my "shower" song, my cleaning song, my "annoy my roommates" song.  It was the song I would sing when I was walking.  Down a one way street.  JUST LIKE THE SONG.

"I was walking
Down a one way street
Just a lookin
For someone to meet
One woman
Who was lookin for a maaaan."

Besides insinuating that I'm a prostitute, I do still love this song and may need to add it back into my repertoire.  I must admit that Huey Lewis is still hot.  Yeah, I said it.  Judge all you want, but I'd hit it. 

Maybe I really DO believe in love.


Call me, Huey.
