[[Huey Lewis and the News]] is a band from [[The Eighties]] fronted by Huey Lewis. Back in the 1980s, they had many hits and were reasonably adept with making music videos. Now, they are often forgotten even by shows waxing nostalgic over [[The Eighties]], but remain a popular live act.
Some of their work remains in the popular consciousness, though it isn't always consciously attributed to them. They recorded "Hip to Be Square," which made the soundtrack of the film version of ''[[American Psycho]]''
