Parody By Huey Lewis Better Than Actual "We Are The World" Remake

It's a bold statement to say that anything by Huey Lewis is good, but maybe it's just a case of having something sufficiently awful to put beside his brand of laid back, bluesy rock. Take, for instance, the mess that is the new "We Are the World." Compared with Justin Bieber's caterwauling, the ghost of Michael Jackson, and the much-bemoaned rap interlude, Huey's simple rendition of "I Am the World" seems pretty dignified. He also wears a pork pie hat and a Willie Nelson wig, costume choices which Jamie Foxx was not willing to make when doing his Ray Charles impression. And given that there was no place for Celine Dion in Huey's version, it's immediately a hundred times more listenable. [Huffington Post]
