Whaaaat? A Sunday Singalong on monday?? That is craziness!! ... I hear you saying. Yea sure, the 80s were a crazy time, weren't they? :)

"Hip to Be Square" is a song by Huey Lewis and the News, written by Bill Gibson, Sean Hopper, and Huey Lewis, and released in 1986 as the second single from the multi-platinum album, Fore!.
The song features Pro Football Hall of Famers and then-San Francisco 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott singing backup vocals. (Not in this case of course ^..^).
The single reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In concert, Huey Lewis now normally sings the song as "(Too) Hip to Be Square", as performed on their live album, Live at 25.
The song is referred to in the novel American Psycho when the main character, Patrick Bateman, provides a lengthy critique of Huey Lewis and the News' career.
The popular children's show Sesame Street created an educational parody of the song called "Hip to Be a Square" and used it during a cartoon portion of the program. Lewis said of the parody, "they contacted our publisher about doing it, and we were happy to let ‘em. I think it’s sweet."
Software used: Ardour 6 (same effects as last time)
Playback is pirated. (including backing vocals - though I added mine to them.)
Special thanks to
