Huey Lewis & The News - Hip To Be Square 

Fun fact: This song is not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trend, but it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Man, this song came on at dorsia last night. Cut through the tension like an axe

Can't wait to play this to my friend, Paul. I think I'll invite him over.

This truly is a personal statement about the band itself

I love this song.

Listened to this while doing my morning crunches. I can do a thousand now.

"HEY PAUL!" 🪓

Man this band really came to its own, both artistically and commercially.

Very nice song indeed

Look at the subtle off-frame camera work, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a Vevo watermark.

Do you like Huey Lewis & The News? Their early work was a little too 'new-wave' for my taste, but when 'Sports' came out in '83, I think they really came into their own - both 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 humor. In '87, Huey released this, 'Fore', their most accomplished album.

Hey paul

This song always gets me in the mood for wearing a raincoat for whatever reason.

"Is that a raincoat?" "Yes, it is!"

They really axed this one! Would’ve killed to see these guys live!

This is definitely their undisputed masterpiece. A song so good you don’t even listen to the lyrics.

The tasteful thickness of it

I remember back in the 80s when my neighbors were blasting this song and then I heard them arguing over dinner reservations. Crazy times.

The fact this has no dislikes really shows how this is when the band came into their own, commercially and artistically.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the clear, crisp sound?

Heard a rumor this was their undisputed masterpiece

My friend just told me about this song and I really like it. He is a bit weird tho, he has newspaper all over the floor but he doesn’t even have a dog lol. And now I think he is wearing a rain coat. I wonder why? Anyway he had to leave to get something he will be back any second now.

A song so catchy, my friend put on his raincoat and went to find something. Will be back in a minute for sure.

In my opinion, this song is the moment they really came into their own.

Bought 2 CDs of this album: 1 for me and 1 for my friend, Paul. Threw the CD inside a Jean Paul Gaultier overnight bag along with him, so he has something good to listen to in the afterlife.

The lyrics of this song are really great. I think people should listen to them.

"You like huey lewis and the news?" "Sure i do, i love 'em, listened to all their works!" *Credits start rolling.*

I remember blaring this song through my headphones and Walkman. I showed it to my friend Paul a while ago, he thought it was to die for.

An undisputed masterpiece

Went to Dorsia last friday for dinner. They played this absolute banger. So catchy that I have never listened to lyrics before.

Love this song. Great Memories of it blaring through my headphones while I would be returning video tapes

I'm pissed none of my friends have seen American Psycho, I so want to play this when they come visit....

This song hits like an axe 🪓

A great, great song, my personal favorite.

I really like "Huey Lewis and the News" and I think it's a very undervalued band, even though their early works were a little too "new wave" for my taste, but when "Sports" came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, both artistically and commercially. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.

I'm just saying, Paul Allen has been real quiet since this dropped

I love this song. It's an absolute killer.

In all seriousness Huey Lewis and the News still remains an underrated band. They've churned out classics like 'I want a new drug' and 'Power of love', but this song remains their undisputed masterpiece, because it perfectly captures the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends; however, what goes more unnoticed is that it's also a personal statement about the band itself.... Hey Paul!

you know its hip to be square you know its hip to be square

Most people don't probably listen to the lyrics but they should!

the fact that this song is not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trend, but it's also a personal statement about the band itself, tells us a lot about the band itself.

Is that a raincoat? *YES, IT IS!*

So it's confirmed that it'll be Minceraft movie's main theme?

Imagine visiting your friend, and then he starts blasting this on speakers, while telling you about his love to this band

The comments on this video have really come into their own, commercially and artistically

They killed this beat fr 🪓

This song is so catchy, I don't even listen to the lyrics, but I should!

When your friend invites you to his apartment and the floor is covered in news papers but he doesn't have a dog, like a chow or something.

I had an 8:30 reservation at Olive Garden, but now I’m thinking _Dorsia._

Huey's sheen of consumate professionalism really gives this song a big boost.

These lyrics are really good. People should start listening to them!

I was about to listen to this song, but then I had to go return some videotapes.

Who......... are yoooouuuuu????

When I was in Harvard Business School. There was a guy named Patrick in our class. He used to like Huey Lewis and the News a lot and listen to this song on loop. He used to call this song their undisputed masterpiece.

I'm so glad that people started listening to the lyrics. Very nice, impressive.

Huey Lewis and the News

Played this at McDonalds Now it’s Dorsia

Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s cover of this song.

A good friend of mine is talking me about this song while wearing a raincoat. I'm pretty drunk, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding everything, but he seems so excited

I was finally able to get a reservation at Dorsia on a Friday night. Great sea urchin ceviche!

This song is so notorious for its appearance in the 2000 feature film, "American Psycho" that most people don't even appreciate it for the great song that it is regardless of the movie. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasure of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement of the band itself.

Fun fact: The scene this was played in American Psycho wasn’t part of the script. Christian Bale just found Jared Leto to be extremely annoying and decided to kill him right there with an axe he found in the set. After the deed was done, director who secretly recorded the murder found his performance to be so enthusiastic that she decided to include it in the movie.

Song so catchy, most people don't even listen to the lyrics, BUT THEY SHOULD!

don't just stare at it ... eat it!

Wow, they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

this whole album has a clear, crisp sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. I hear the Huey has even been compared to Elvis Costello but personally, I think that Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. This song is without a doubt, their undisputed masterpiece because its so catchy but its sad to say that people probably don't even listen to the lyrics.

You know, people should look past American Pyscho for this one. The song gives social commentary about doing the right thing, and how conformity is not always the best choice. It helps inspire the youth to look past modernity and return to simple times, before rebellion was “in”.Whether you choose to look deeper into the song or take it at surface value it’s catchy, fun, and something I can listen to on repeat. Hey Paul!

You have to love the clear, crisp sound and the new sheen of consummate professionalism present throughout this song. Sharp as an axe.

It’s funny that I came across this song bc I just had copies of the style section put on my floor and this was what was on the radio can’t wait for my co worker to come round later 👍

"A song so catchy, most people probably don't read the comments. But they should !"

Really catchy but you should listen to the lyrics...

And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you start to understand the meaning of this song and maybe you can even sense our music tastes are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

The whole album has a clear, crisp sound

I listen to this song while I’m returning video tapes

[ bashes Allen in the head with the ax, and blood splatters over him] Patrick Bateman: TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORISA NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!(hip to be square continues to play in the background)

Can we take a minute to thank Huey for having enough of a sense of humor to keep the comments section up knowing full well that it would be flooded with Patrick Bateman quotes for eternity?

A song so catchy (swings arms and hips).

A song so catchy most people don't comment something original

Could it be considered a threat if you ask someone if they like Huey Lewis and the News?

This song is so catchy. It's disappointing that most people don't listen to the lyrics, although they should, because the songs not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

A song so catchy, with lyrics now so memetically elevated, that most people don't pay attention to the incredible cinematography of the music video!

This is an undisputed masterpiece.

I love dancing to this song in a raincoat when my mates come over.

I always wonder what this song is about. Its just so catchy that I can never pay attention to the lyrics

this song is so catchy. it's a shame that most people don't listen to the lyrics. because they should. BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PLEASURES OF CONFORMITY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TRENDS, BUT IT'S ALSO A PERSONAL STATEMENT ABOUT THE BAND ITSELF.

I just discovered this wonderful song. I played it to my my girlfriend when I had her over but she ran away WTF
