Huey Lewis & the News is a Academy Award nominated US rock band based in San Francisco, California. Their greatest success was in the 1980s, when they were one of the most popular music acts of the decade. The band is known for writing simple, light-hearted songs from a working-class perspective and typically appealed to yuppies and baby boomers . Combining a rock (and sometimes, a “blues-rock”) backing with harmony vocals and Lewis’s voice… , Huey Lewis & the News had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s, including “The Power of Love” and “Back in Time” (both of which were featured in the film “Back to the Future”), “I Want a New Drug”, “Doin’ It All (For My Baby)”, “Do You Believe in Love?” “Hip to Be Square”, “Stuck With You”, and “Jacob’s Ladder”. The track ‘Hip To Be Square” features prominently in the year 2000 movie American Psycho, starring Christian Bale.

So, what do you wanna do with your lives? Just briefly summarize. And don't tell me you enjoy quoting American Psycho, okay? Listen, you have to excuse me. I have a lunch meeting with Phil Collins at the Genesis shoutbox in 20 minutes.

I'm glad there's sufficient Patrick Bateman referenced users here. As a side note, I feel that I've reached a new plateau of awesome in my life now that I've learned the bass to this song. It's been in my head all day.
