In 1987 Huey released "Fore!", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square," a song so catchy that 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.

My brother loves this song. He's 10 and listens to my mom's station a lot when he's with her in the car.

They consider him being a huge part of the movie, they included him in the reunion.
