Huey Lewis is responsible for some of the best movie songs during the eighties. He’s no Kenny Loggins, but “The Power of Love” is pretty dope. Now thanks to Team Apatow and Seth Rogen, Lewis is back with another movie song that should go straight to the heart of any 80’s kid.

His contribution to the stoner comedy Pineapple Express is now available to stream. And I’ve got to say, it’s got a nice “Power of Love” vibe to it. Not only do I want to ride the Pineapple Express, but I’m also probably not alone in thinking Huey Lewis should do the soundtrack for every movie made from now on. He’s like Midas.

Sample lyrics: “We got trouble, we got to get out of here. I’ve got you, you’ve got me. We are as high as we can be. That’s all right. How did we get into this mess? Pineapple Express!” All with those trademark blue-eyed horns in the background.

You can listen to a snippet below or hear the whole thing at Myspace.

Pineapple Express stars James Franco and Seth Rogen as a pair of stoners, who get high and get caught up in a shit storm when they watch the police murder someone. It’s directed by indie-auteur David Gordon Green. The comedy hits theaters on 8.8

Her bo, Jimmy Kimmel has shacked up with Ben Affleck in revenge for her confession, “I’m F*cking Matt Damon.”  But the all-star tribute song, “I’m F*cking Ben Affleck” just takes it over the top.

Matt, Sarah, this is for you,” said Kimmel, noting that Silverman and Damon’s music video has been seen by about 8 million people on ABC.com and YouTube.

And the hilarious new clip – in which the two are seen giving each other pedicures before Affleck tweaks Kimmel’s bare chest – isn’t just a duet: It’s an all-star performance on par with “We Are the World.”

When it comes to backup singers, Kimmel somehow managed to round up a who’s-who of the entertainment industry, including Don Cheadle, Ashlee Simpson, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz, Huey Lewis, Christina Applegate, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, Benji and Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Josh Groban and Harrison Ford – who blows the new couple a kiss.

Just getting Josh Groban, Dicky Barrett, Harrison Ford for this video takes the cake.  I will say, that Ben Affleck is the coolest man in Hollywood.

Is anyone else excited for the prospect of Sarah trying to top this?  And now that Matt and Ben have been used it’s too bad their possee isn’t bigger.
