This song would represent Huey Lewis and The News's only top ten hit
On the UK charts. They had TONS of hits in the US, but this was one of their biggest.
Written for the 1985 hit move Back To The Future, it appears early in the movie when Marty McFly tries out for his school's talent show with his band, only for one of the judges to call it "too loud".

By the way, Huey Lewis was like 34 when that scene was filmed.
The song was one of the biggest hits of 1985, and it was nominated for both a Grammy and an Academy Award in 1986. And, it brings the BIG horns, which was something of a band trademark.
Of course, I can find TONS of live performances of this song. I chose a later one - from 2014 - to show that, even in his 60s, Huey brought high energy.
And the fans know the words.
But ok. One more for you. This is from 1987 and is at the peak of the band's fame - and it shows.
