A song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because its not about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself! Hey Paul!
Cause every Huey song from this era sounds this good live. They were the top of their game and no other band could touch them at this time in terms of sound quality.

(People when they got their tickets for this Concert): “Look at the subtle off white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it! Oh my God, it even has a Watermark!”
I was at the concert when they filmed the video for Jacob's Ladder. They put on an incredible concert on this tour. The stage in this video is the same as the one in Jacob's Ladder.
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. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to Be Square," a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
That has to be in my personal opinion? The best damn rocking sax solo ever. Thanks Huey for a great timeless classic. From this old on air radio DJ. Keep on rockin

Saw this tour's concert on Minneapolis. Still can remember seeing and hearing TOP walk up the back of the risers. Being an instrumentalist, it was a really cool moment.
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, 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.

I love these American songs that make you wanna work for the man, cashing in your waybill and taking home that pay! I've tried to look for American work songs but can't find playlists 😢
I used to be a renegade I used to fool around But I couldn't take the punishment And had to settle down Now I'm playing it real straight And yes, I cut my hair You might think I'm crazy But I don't even care 'Cause I can tell what's going on It's hip to be square It's hip to be square I like my bands in business suits I watch them on TV I'm working out most every day And watchin' what I eat They tell me that it's good for me But I don't even care I know that it's crazy I know that it's nowhere But there is no denying that It's hip to be square It's hip to be square It's hip to be square So hip to be square It's not too hard to figure out You see it every day And those that were the farthest out Have gone the other way You see them on the freeway It don't look like a lot of fun But don't you try to fight it An idea whose time has come Don't tell me that I'm crazy Don't tell me I'm nowhere Take it from me It's hip to be square It's hip to be square It's hip to be square So hip to be square Tell 'em, boys So hip to be square (Hip, hip)

AHHHHHHH
try getting a reservation at Dorsia NOW!!!!!!
hahahahha.... priceless comment.
Yellow what’s the statement?
is that a raincoat?
I'd love to finish this video, but I've got a reservation at Dorsia to make.
For me, I have to return some videotapes...
Your lying no one can get a reservation at dorsia
An 8:30 reservation at Dorsia, on a Friday night? How'd he manage to swing that?
Nobody goes there anymore...
I bet he is lying
2:30 American Psycho fans on their way to flood the comment section of every video involving this song
Impressive, Very nice
Let's see Paul Allen's Live concert
Why is nobody commenting how this dude sounds love just like in studio. He nailed it!!!
Cause they’ve all scheduled a reservation at Dorsia
The instrumental here is much jazzier and sharper.
Let's see Paul Allen's live performance
Cause every Huey song from this era sounds this good live. They were the top of their game and no other band could touch them at this time in terms of sound quality.
Because everyone’s making American psycho jokes
Back when singers could sing live, hueys voice is great
Christian Bale is probably in the Crowd somewhere in a raincoat with an Axe.
fore is their most accomplished album.
The song's so catchy !
SOLaharl people really don’t listen to the lyrics
@Alejandro Feo Cecin Because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band themselves!
HEY PAUL!
@@andrewburgemeister6684 AAAAHHHHH!!!

Whoever did the board mix on this needs a raise.
True dat!

I can't believe this is on RUclips! This was the first concert I ever went too.
Who were the people (gang) near the end?
I only ever saw them once in Dublin Ireland. This line up. Amazing band.
Joe Montana that is so cool
That’s so cool. Let’s see Paul Allen’s Comment
@@mrjozo-pr6ih can't believe it took 3 years to answer but they were members of the 49ers. Guessing the show was in San Francisco

Huey has far more edge and straight up rock and roll the costello!!...
Hey Paul, try getting a reservation at Dorsia NOW!!!!!!
@Thisis Fun you must be a sober Paul Allen.
In all seriousness it's a scene from American psycho
Thisis Fun it’s from a movie you dip
@@vincenzo135 try getting a reservation at dorsia now, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓
woah yo that horn section is tower of power
That mullet...is just...beyond legendary. Such a graceful masterpiece. You know who I'm talking about.
If I was in the 80's I'd definitely be rocking that pseudo-mullet look. It does look damn cool with some black sunglasses.
Joe Montana in the chorus... that made everything
I thought that was him.
how often is it now a days that you get to even see a band member do a saxophone solo in a song lol, music was honestly the best back in this time.
Cool performance that included the SF 49ers with Dwight Clark solo! RIP Dwight.
I hope Patrick Bateman is there.
He doesn't care for live music, so good luck.
Let's see Paul Allen in this place
Huey is too black sounding for him
The energy. The passion. The moves. The musicians. The sheer number of keyboards. And the good vibes. Beautiful.
The moves do you mean the two-step? What are you talking about? Good music let’s keep it at that.
@@surrealistdacankles7943 I just mean there's a lot of energy in their movement, it's not that deep
Fellas, that was pretty good, but I'll tell you what I need, is more synthesizers!
A song to DIE for ;)
that’s what Paul said
Patrick is not in the audience, he bought VIP tickets.
How did he manage to swing that?
That has to be in my personal opinion? The best damn rocking sax solo ever. Thanks Huey for a great timeless classic. From this old on air radio DJ. Keep on rockin
i would love to listen to this song, but I've got to go return some videotapes
What a lineup with TOP and featuring the 49ers with Will Clark who made "the Catch". My wife and I were so lucky to see the News in their prime!
Dwight Clark. Will played for the Giants
Rest in paradise Dwight Clark. Your catch made the franchise.
Preacher: "Rest in peace, Dwight Clark, may flights of angels sing thee--"
Dwight's Ghost: "Actually, I'll be doing the singing."
They are total band guys. Very professional- saw them live in 2000. Didn’t miss a beat very professional
RIP Dwight Clark.
Doc representing T.O.P!!!
This is so 80's it hurts! Love the dancing horn section.
That was the one and only Tower of Power horns
@@glensardella5155 The trumpet player with all that hair is awesome!
They all look like they're having such a great time.
That was the 49ers Joe Montana and Dwight Clark.
let me anybody out there if you love huey leiws as much as i do i love him so bad
huey sounds great live..
omg this song is gonna be remembered as 'HEY PAUL' isnt it
is that a rain coat?

No, Allen!
Hip to be axed1
That's some serious hair on that trumpet player! :)
Hey PAUL!
Thank you to whoever returned their video tapes of this concert.
This show was a blast
Dwight Clark could really sing man! What a moment. RIP, Dwight.
A J yeah he could. He really nailed it. I miss him and that team. They were invincible to me as a young boy.
Niner legend Dwight Clark RIP and Cool Joe Montana
I love Huey Lewis , from Brazil !
Hey Paul
Who is here cuz of James Hetfield and the News - "Hip to Be the Sandman" ?
I hope you guys get a reservarion at dorsia someday.
Love it, can't get 1987 back again!
Now that's live music folks 👍
Saw this tour's concert on Minneapolis. Still can remember seeing and hearing TOP walk up the back of the risers. Being an instrumentalist, it was a really cool moment.
RIP Dwight Clark
If their Tower of Power gig was aired on BBC1 - I think it's time for a Huey night on BBC4...
Just good music. We,spend so much time today hating each other,and when I,listen to Huey,and the boys it makes my heart feel so good
Hey Paul!!
The music that plays when you try to make a reservation at Dorsia’s
Me gusta como Stephen Doc Kupka ( sax baritono) le pone chispa con el coro de vientos me gusta 🤗🤗🤗🇨🇱
"Hey Paul! AAAAAGGGHH!"
***** Come on, this movie gave this song a cult following.
Seriously the only reason I know of this songs existence is because of American psycho
LeDwyane Bosh American Psycho fanboy
@@VirreFriberg Correct.
“TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA’S NOW YOU STUPID, FUCKING, BASTARD!!!!”
Tower of Power Horns
The Tower of Power!!!!!!
woow...how u know??
If there could ever be something so American and badass. This stands out like no other!!
Killer drums.
he was Amazing live awesome voice... Bqnd was amazing... the horns from T O.P. SAW IN MELB IN THE LATE 80'S

hey maxedge why do you have pages of the style section on the floor? do you have a little dog or something.?
Hey Paul....
One of the best music videos on youtube.
The great 1987 49ers aswell.
Man that looks like a fun time.
Great band, great song and really fun with the 49er's joining at the end. Dwight had great vocal pitch for an NFL Wide Receiver. Fun times!
Search RUclips for "the catch" for a short recount of an amazing Montana to Clark game winning (over the Cowboys) play. RIP Dwight.
Try getting a reservation at Huey's concert now!!!
I was 3 months old when this happend. Wish I could've seen them in this period of time.
mustve been the most fun band to be in
Hey Paul ⚒
God damn I'm thankful for this!
Autotune? What's that? Singers today can't do this. One of the great voices of the past 75 years. Nothing like him.
Cool to see guys from Tower of Power horn section there..
Thanks for posting!! Awesome seeing the 49ers on stage with Huey and the band.
He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think he has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
Funny you should say that. Take a guess at who was the backup band on Costello's My Aim is True :)
it's a line from a movie
Hey Paul aaaaagh
7 year ago!! That totally epic!!
@@_zedejose Huey's former band Clover, sans Huey.
I challenge you to find a comment not related to American Psycho
It’s a fuckin shame. I don’t connect the two at all. It’s all about the outro for me.
Me encanta ésta canción. Saludos cordiales desde Argentina...
Some things never change of go out of style, and this is one of those! Give a listen!
OH......HELL.....YEAH!!!! Nobody does it like they do! That's what Im talkin about
Love this tune as I'm a proud member of the L7 club where it's always Hip to Be Square ✌😎
Ahhh, the days before auto-tune...hard to believe people could actually sing live at one point.
His voice here sounds a little off, dude
@@bethanyzamora1146 Nah, he has that live "edge".
He sounds better than in the record actually.
auto tune has existed since the 60’s
People still can, you just don't listen to them
Oh please, you ever listen to an Adele, Beyonce, The Weeknd, Anderson Paak or Bruno Mars set live?
I love these American songs that make you wanna work for the man, cashing in your waybill and taking home that pay! I've tried to look for American work songs but can't find playlists 😢
If you want work songs about the USA just listen to Bruce Springsteen
It mostly makes me wanna wear a raincoat
@@Windwalker88 And pick an axe
Americans and romanticizing capitalism lmao
"In 87'....."
I used to be a renegade
I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment
And had to settle down
Now I'm playing it real straight
And yes, I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy
But I don't even care
'Cause I can tell what's going on
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
I like my bands in business suits
I watch them on TV
I'm working out most every day
And watchin' what I eat
They tell me that it's good for me
But I don't even care
I know that it's crazy
I know that it's nowhere
But there is no denying that
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
It's not too hard to figure out
You see it every day
And those that were the farthest out
Have gone the other way
You see them on the freeway
It don't look like a lot of fun
But don't you try to fight it
An idea whose time has come
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
Take it from me
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
Tell 'em, boys
So hip to be square
(Hip, hip)
My god. Dripping with 80sness..
Hey paul
Amazing!
That was one crowded stage
This was really really fun to watch. a lost generation and that makes me so sad.
So many American Psycho quotes in the comment section...
Let's see Paul Allen's quote
The Metallica mashup brought me here.
Lol, me too, I didn't know this guy before
Saw them live when they came to UK in the 80s. Absolutely fantastic!
THAT mullet guy. ❤️
Hey Paul!!!!!!!!!!
I Say, Paul Allen has been real quiet since this dropped
Where's Hetfield?
I'd love to go see these guys, unfortunately they're never in my part of the country
GialloHorror Is that Ted Bundy on ur profile pic ? :D
Suharekë Krasniqi LOL! It is indeed
Wow, Joe Montana that's so cool!
GREAT PERFORMANCE !!!!
Love the horn section, like watching live Muppets.
