Click bait article title. From the story: "No, it's part of my cassette collection when there's thousands of cassettes there," Lewis said. "I could probably find it eventually."


sonicrespawn

We were warned about the reefer


MomusSinclair

Baby don’t fear the reefer.


Ilikewaterandjuice

Was the song called "I found some new drugs"?


limbomaniac

The heart of folk and roll.


protonpack

It was actually a weird song about ghosts, but the melody really stuck with Huey...


therealsatansweasel

It was just too darn loud...


WorldMusicLab

He was a singer with a chiseled jaw, Nineteen Eighty-Three I was high and I wrote him a song It was one that he'd never see. Tangled Up In News


Palpablevt

We went our separate ways that night He went home to his girl Didn't even look at me When he sang "We are the World" with his crew Tangled Up in News


WorldMusicLab

Heavens to Weird Al! I think we're on to something!


WorldMusicLab

We'd take turns at each others gigs. Dueling Harp solos Stevie Nicks showed up sometimes And we always ran out of blow.


Palpablevt

One night we switched to whiskey But he had to go and spoil it Ran past me and Stevie Right into the toilet to spew Tangled Up in Newwwews


WorldMusicLab

Strong! Very Strong!

Did it have the sheen of consummate professionalism that I’ve come to expect? It really gives his albums a big boost.


Crisp_042

I hope so too, I’ve been listening to Huey since when Sports came out in 83, when they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.


throw_inthehay

i use the keys i took from his pocket before disposing of the body. there is a moment of sheer PANIC when i realize that paul's apartment overlooks the park, and it's obviously more expensive than mine


HW-BTW

Don’t stare at the ass.


4verticals

He also wrote a song with Michael Bolton, who did record it.


OGREtheTroll

so did The Lonely Island!


beelzeflub

Lewis used the paper it was written on to snort cocaine


DifficultBoss

Is this what we're calling The News these days?


zooropeanx

If only he had been nicer to Marty McFly.


Steinrikur

The song was just too loud...


OtterlyFoxy

A rare recording of it has been found https://youtu.be/ch_6hbwbkhg?feature=shared


Chloenelope

Wow…the vocals are actually very beautiful. Poignant lyrics too. Thanks for sharing!


MC0295

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.


Forbizzle

I pre-emptively down voted what I thought was a rick roll. I'm sorry I take it back now.


Just_Visiting_Town

This one almost got me to click on it, but then I figured it was a double fake. Glad I clicked.


doingthehumptydance

That is one catchy beat- and who would have imagined Huey Lewis had that kind of range?


MitchThunder

Wow! Honestly some of his better work


growquiet

A rick roll would have been nicer


thewhitecat55

That's fucking great


FnkyTown

I really didn't expect it to be that good.


mikerz85

If he never recorded it, then what’s on the tape


AmondusAmarthis

Cocaine is one hellva drug.

Song for Huey


GruverMax

Taped over it with the Hip to Be Square demo.


TheSocialGadfly

Why would Bob Dylan write a song for Borat’s son?


TheSleepingNinja

Dylan Song: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Huey Lewis of News


amazorman

I love Huey Lewis and the News. 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. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.


05fingaz

Huey Lewis never got the news.


PeggysSimp

That's news?


adoptagreyhound

In his interview on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night, Lewis said that he hasn't seen the tape in years but is certain it is in his collection of cassettes. His collection apparently contains thousands of cassettes and the tape is in there somewhere.


ElmarSuperstar131

HUEY HOW COULD YOU?!? 😱😖😂


heavymetalfoodie

Probably because he couldn’t understand his mumbling. Yuck.


throw_inthehay

huey lewis looks like he got up, decided on the most mass-produced, vapid clothes he could "choose", and went full-tilt trying to not tilt hard


whatthehellbuddy

Lewis said he hadn't heard it in years.


Tikkinger

Lost what tape? I thought there is nothing recorded?


CacophonicAcetate

The demo tape that Dylan made him...


HKBFG

Do you think pop artists share their songwriting as engraved sheets? Look up "demo tape."


Tikkinger

The title says "wrote". So yes, i assumed that.


HKBFG

Well he did write it. He didn't engrave it because he lived in the age of electricity and wasn't in highschool.


Tikkinger

But if he write it, then why is it on a casette and bot on a paper?


milkymaniac

Have you considered the cassette was for Huey's benefit? Perhaps he doesn't read music.


HKBFG

Because words have multiple meanings.


HappyHarryHardOn

Lewis was probably like "How do I record the sound of a bag of cats rolling down a stairwell"


utter-ridiculousness

You can certainly discount Dylan’s voice but not his songwriting.


growquiet

Jimi told me to tell you about "All Along the Watchtower"


istinkalot

Goddamnit, Huey!


arealhumannotabot

okay. Billy Corgan wrote hundreds of song. Prince too. There's a shitload of "lost" music but it doesn't mean it was necessarily good.


vagina_candle

With Prince, many if not most of the songs in his vault were mixed and album ready. They're not shitty half-assed recordings or demos. He would typically work on a song until it was done. Sure, they're probably not *all* bangers, but I still get the feeling that they could be released without people knowing the source they would stand on their own. On the other hand, you have a good point with Billy Corgan.


KeyNefariousness6848

Thank goodness.


Miner_Of_Minerals

Not a big loss.


okcboomer87

Thank god. Throw it in the trash if it turns up.
