Hello Hive Music Lovers!,
Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by @ablaze.
This week we go back to the 1980's when I was still in single digits and life looked so much easier and less tyranical as it does now. Or is that just a part of growing up?!
I first stumbled across Huey Lewis and the News with their hit song Power of Love from the Back to the Future films. Boy did I love that film as a kid with the time travel and hoverboard.
Huey Lewis has this 80s vibe and typical wholeseome American feel to it. A time before tattoos, piercing and excessive nudity became so commonplace. Although I originally love the Power of Love song the most at the beginning, I really think Back in Time is underrated and a favorite of mine.
Another catchy tune that the band sang was Stuck with You. As a young teenager, the thoughts of escaping to a desert island with a hot model sounded like a dream come true!
Perhaps it is the inner-romantic in me, but Stuck with you is another favorite of mine.
The final song this week is the fast and catchy Hip to be Square. The song made famous by Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. There was a hilarioius parady by Weird Al which was great that Huey took part in it.
It seems since the 80s there has been a trend to make being geeky cool and trendy and maybe Huey was the start of this trend?
