What/who was song #2? I don't remember ever hearing that one.

HM to the Politics of Dancing though--definitely a song of its time.

"All I Need Is Everything" isn't ringing a bell with me but I'm sure liking it. Aztec Camera?

AMG confirms it -- from Ammonia Avenue.  Compare and contrast with "Prime Time", another "hit" from that album.

It gets extra points for NOT being the Gwen Stefani remake :wink:

VHM Huey, still beatin'

Most Huey Lewis of Set: "Heart of RockinRoll". I'm sorry, team- but I've never liked this song. The only thing lamer is the video.

Eeeewww, WOS to Huey. His heart may have been coming from the right place, but man, is this stuff bland....

"the old boy may be barely breathing", Huey because you're crushing it under your mediocrity.

ZING! OK. That was good...

ah, but mediocrity is the essence of Hueyness.  A bar band that got lucky.  Plus there's that whole "very few songs about Rock'n'Roll are actually good Rock'n'Roll songs" thing.

Well, ya got me there. Not every rock&roll song about rock&roll can be a "Rock&Roll, Hootchy-Coo", after all!  :D

Best Song by a Band With a Silly Name of Set: "Relax". As heard in the turgid Brian DePalma film: Body Double.

Now *this* was a fun video....
