This song was not played in any of the _Back to the Future_ movies. The two songs performed by Huey Lewis and The News in _BTTF_ are "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time."

[@karlsmith2570]

I'd almost forgot about the song "Back In Time" being in "Back To The Future"

[@michaellavoice3807]

Thanks Vigilante, I was just about to type this. This song got a crap ton on airplay back then though

[@dalefleming6427]

Huey Lewis and the News is so underrepresented among reaction videos. They are a great band. They're still pumping out good music.

[@eugenegrewing2587]

No they are not still putting out music. Huey Lewis has Ménière’s disease and can’t sing or perform anymore.

[@mdm32746]

@@eugenegrewing2587 Their last album "Weather" was released in February of 2020

[@detroitpolak9904]

I agree! How could such an 80s powerhouse fall off the radar like that. I may be wrong, but that would be like having trouble finding Hall & Oates reactions. Am I right?

[@katemyer1955]

They were mid recording when Huey got too bad off to sing anymore so they were forced to put out what was in the van already. They weren’t done with the album yet. :/

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

@@detroitpolak9904 I wonder that as well. Maybe their appearance was too normal and straight. Still that has stopped them from looking dated visually. Huey said he was always more about the music than the image hence Small World of which I am one of few who love that album

[@karlsmith2570]

Yep, Huey Lewis &The News provided the song "The Power Of Love" for the soundtrack of "Back To The Future" and Huey himself actually had a cameo appearance in the movie as one of the judges for when Marty and his band were auditioning for the school's talent show, in fact, Huey was the judge that told Marty that they were "Just Too Loud"

[@jasongood903]

Thats because he was told that during audition

[@zaydaenigma7987]

I'm not trying to be facetious or a smart ass but what do the kids enjoy today? Many in youngest generations seem to be so unhappy. It's a sign to me we are not in normal times.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

YES!!

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

And yes another confirmation of your words. FUN - we had fun. We also choose to have fun. I feel so lucky to have been a teen in the eighties. Everything in today's world is taken too seriously - everything! Sadly I can't see people lighting up much. Everyone seems to busy divulging in massive self-pity. Exception being Half and Jai - you two are just awesome in every way! Cheers to my fellow eighties fans. P.S. Did you know that hipster mag, Rolling Stone actually bagged this song to shreds. I think they called it the worst of the year. I know that is impossible to believe. RS never did like HLN as they didn't fit the hipster image. Remember the great song Hip to Be Square. P.P.S Check out Johnny Colla's I Hear Voices CD - very happy upbeat and fun.

[@tonysanders2332]

Huey Lewis and the News was always criminally underrated. They were one of the best concerts I've attended. Keep the great reactions coming!

[@j.fisher4263]

Huey Lewis and the News' music is as solid as you can get.

[@cwell510]

I grew up listening to Huey Lewis and the News mostly due to Back To The Future when I was a kid watching MTV. They had a very 50's Rock & Roll type of vibe to their sound.

[@karlsmith2570]

Jai the Huey Lewis song that was used in "Back To The Future" is titled "The Power Of Love" This song (to my recollection) wasn't used in any of the "Back To The Future" movies

[@user-jd5ls1ro9o]

“Heart and soul” next. Bay Area legends right here huey Lewis and the news. Reminds me of the 49ers in the 80s

[@rickfortier8664]

Finally! Someone reacting to this song!

[@dzizzle8545]

No no no, "I want a new drug" is their song fasho. This one is okay

[@jadehand1]

Huey Lewis was actually in Back to the Future. He was the teacher that said "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud." when Marty auditioned at school. They had 2 tracks on the soundtrack, Back in time, was the alarm that woke Marty up. Then of course the main track they played through the first movie. I think this might have been background when Marty was skateboarding to school. Not sure though.

[@surlechapeau]

H&J, you'll love their "The Power Of Love", "If This Is It' and "Do You Believe in Love". This band is fun, tight and was huge in the 80's.

[@christopherleonard8313]

Huey is THE MAN. his music and the feeling u get listening to the news music is just a feel good vibe. Huey is one of my favorites ever

[@visiblepixels4632]

"Heart and Soul" is my favorite Huey Lewis hit. A real banger :)

[@Frostrazor]

no doubt! My fav as well along with Want a New Drug

[@Abri412]

If This Is It always got me.

[@andrewsawyer1375]

Glad someone finally listened to them. Please check out more. He had such a distinct voice.

[@eliseorodriguezjr876]

I'm from Cleveland it was going to be titled The Heart Of Rock N Roll Is In Cleveland. The song was written months before the opening of The Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame opening which it's in Cleveland

[@moanman1776]

This is/was one of those Rock/Pop groups that defined the 80s. They had a mad number of hits from this one, "It's Hip To Be Square," "The Power of Love," "Heart and Soul," "If this Is It," but I'm betting you'd really relate to "I Want a New Drug." Digging your reactions. You never disappoint.

[@jaymilu6384]

Please do more Huey they are so good. I’m 52 and can still dance but no dropping the knees don’t like it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SuburbanSavage]

Same! My current dance skills resemble the balloon men in front of car dealerships. My husband has reached the age where he has splints for every joint on his body. He comes down the stairs wearing them like a Wish brand Robocop. He has a whole drawer dedicated to his splints; some are velcro wraps while others are the lace-up type and all of it smells like Icy Hot.

[@Colorado_Girl3577]

Huey also was one of the singers that participated in USA for Africa.

[@evematice6104]

I was in Cali for a couple of months and we had backstage passes to ZZ Top. I standing there, getting into the show, I look next to me and Huey Lewis is standing next to me. He said hi and talked to me for a bit and we continued to watch the show. I didn't want to bother him to much, he was there to just chill. Pretty cool though. He was a nice guy.

[@jasongilbert2379]

Huey Lewis had A Bunch of Hits!!!

[@dcholmes1969]

Thanks for the shout out and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the gifts. I can definitely make a Half And Jai bottle or two. Just let me know. Now as far as Back to the Future, he did do the main theme, ‘Power of Love’. He also did ‘Back in Time’. He also had a cameo as a judge of the school’s talent show tryouts. He told Marty (Michael J. Fox), “You’re just too darn loud.” This song is not in the movie. Thanks again!

[@Frostrazor]

This was NOT on Back to the Future. "Power of Love" and "Back In Time" both were though. For other great songs of theirs: "I Want A New Drug" and "Heart and Soul" Huey appeared in the movie - he was the music show critic Marty tried out for with a megaphone - telling Marty he was "too darned loud" as Marty played HIS song "Power of Love" on the guitar. Cute moment in the movie for those who knew. At "the prom" (Enchantment Under the Sea Dance), he played Earth Angel first then tore it up with Chuck Berry's Johnny B Good.

[@charlesburris6314]

We played the hell out of Huey back then. I heard him before Back To The Future, on their album "Sports". My favorites of theirs are "Heart And Soul"and "Walking On A Thin Line" but they had a long run of top 10s. Have a great day.

[@jimfussell5455]

By now I'm sure you've realized that this song is not in Back to the Future. But please do MORE Huey!!! TONS of good music! The Power of Love and Back in Time ARE in the Back to the Future movies. There's also I Want a New Drug, Working For a Living, Bad is Bad, If This is It, Hip to be Square, It's Alright, Heart and Soul. Walking on a Thin Line, Do You Believe in Love, and more. The harmonica playing, the great song writing, the bluesy harmonies. This is an underrated band to be sure! Please find time to check them out. Just fun feel good music!

[@827dusty]

Huey Lewis has been around forever, but he struck Gold several times in the mid 1980s with huge hit songs. This was one of them.

[@bob5074]

The 80’s was the pinnacle of great American pop culture…the best music, movies, fashion…everything…

[@lisalotwin3154]

Dancing back then was just so much fun! Nothing was off limits. Everyone just did their own thing.

[@brandimodrak461]

I met him a friend of mine has a sister and we all had dinner together and he was so stuck on himself, but all the groupies said that he was the best that they ever had in all areas if you know what I mean and they also agreed that he made them feel like they were the only one that existed at the time and he took his time and it lasted for hours lol. He was a very good tipper to the waitresses when we all went out and when we ate at her family's house he was very polite ,but he was airegant and full of himself at the same time lol. Good times. Much love to you ❤and your family.

[@CH-uu2mi]

My favorite Huey Lewis songs-Walking On a Thin Line, Finally Found a Home, Jacob’s Ladder, Do You Believe In Love and Perfect World.

[@mikeat2637]

Don't say you can't dance, it's just a state of mind and you just have to want to do it. Dancing, like music, is life and you have to put your best foot forward. It doesn't matter if it's ballroom, jazz, ballet, jitterbug, latin, tango, the bump, the Hustle, line dancing, any dancing at all. If you want to do it, you will do it.

[@pleutron]

Huey Lewis & The News was at the top of their game in the 80's. Back to the Future help their popularity a lot. It was their song "Power of Love" that you are thinking of in the movie. I get the 2 mixed up sometimes as well when I forget what song was in the movie. Both songs have similar beats/sounds

[@texashazzard7606]

Best band in History!!!! Love watching people reactions to their Music

[@tnolddawg]

Heart of Rock & Roll may not have been in Back to the Future, but I'm sure it was featured in soundtracks from other 80's movies But they were the band responsible for the movie themes and several songs included

[@semiasims0714]

I love huey lewis. And All the bands back then. Real instrument

[@TonyTheBassPlayer1]

Huey is from the San Fran Rock scene of the late 60's and early 70's. In the 80's when he was already in his 40's BOOM he scores and scores big. Huge list of hits all crammed into about 7 years. Did Rock n Roll when it had fell out of fashion and kind of helped bring it back. He is one of the finest harmonica players in the world and learned from the legend himself Paul Butterfield. Before the 80's he got a big break playing with, of all bands, Thin Lizzy (The Irish Metal band) and they listed him on the record as Blue Huey. You can hear him on their live album.

[@karenyoung4260]

Huey Lewis had tons of hits and The News were some of the best musicians out there. Sadly Huey has hearing problems now and doesn’t perform much anymore.

[@ElusvOptmst1]

One of the best groups from the San Francisco Bay Area California. They had many hits. Fun from the 80's. He was in the movie which depicted the 50's the heart of rock n roll, thus the dancing and clothes.

[@joshythehand2960]

Yep.. we saw them at half time at a niners game before they blew up. Then saw them again at mountain air.. a famous bay area festival in the 80s.

[@dawg897]

"The Heart of rock & roll" is a comentary of how the Rock & Roll sound changed over the years from its roots. that is why they put in black and white flash back clips of famous 1950's artists.and why the band is mostly in BW. that is one reason why Huey Lewis and the news sounds the way it does. kind of a throwback yet with a slight modern (at the time) twist to their songs. a lot of sax in their songs. again a throwback to the 50's sound, with a bit more R&B add in.

[@richardhojczyk2296]

The only news I trust comes with a heavy dose of Mr. Huey Lewis.

[@jameswhitman8710]

Linda rondstadt, James Taylor, Huey Lewis, all those and more is the music I grew up with.

[@schatzeeone6230]

Ah, Huey Lewis and the News. The first concert I was allowed to go to without adult supervision. I was 12, and my friend’s mom dropped us off. It was the ‘80s, so leaving a group of junior-high girls at a concert alone was totally acceptable and perfectly normal. We had a great time. Thanks for the nostalgia. 😊

This song wasn't on any of the Back to the Future movies. "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" were made for the trilogy movies and are also the band's only songs that played in the movies. Also other good songs by Huey Lewis and The News are "If This is It", "Hip to be Square", "Doing it All for my Baby", "Stuck With You", "Workin' for a Livin'", "I Want a New Drug", "Do You Believe in Love", "Heart and Soul"!

[@ewrekzz7360]

[@Jen-in-Texas]

They are a legend. Huey was quite the looker and the girls loved him 🙂

[@AndieO]

Huey Lewis and The News were my first concert. My aunt took me to see them way back when (1984). The lead singer Huey played the teacher in Back To The Future, and their song The Power Of Love was the theme for that movie and appeared in the earliest scenes of the first movie, and he cuts Marty off.. Hope that clears up some of the confusion. Lots you both. Hugs from Newfoundland * I used to be able to hit the floor and stay there til the dj finished up. Not any more. ** the song at the school dance with his parents was Johnny Be Good.

[@sherribrock2726]

58 years old. I can still dance like i use to, I just don’t look the same! I think Huey was looking at Jai!!

[@davidrichards6509]

Huey Lewis is the guy with the megaphone at the rock band tryouts in Back To The Future who tells Marty McFly and his Pinheads they're " just too darn loud". Huey Lewis also wrote some of the music for Back To The Future.

[@deelawson4551]

Saw them in concert back in `84..Stevie Ray Vaughan opened up for them! Amazing show! They were very popular in the 80s with lots of hits and so was John Cougar Mellencamp..My faves from both Do You Believe In Love-Huey Lewis and the News and Paper and Fire and Cherry Bomb by John Cougar Mellencamp :) Keep On Rockin`
