Talk on Huey Lewis’ Pineapple Express Theme
posted by The Joe
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!
Director David Gordon Green had this to say -
“Huey Lewis just finished our theme song for us. It is called Pineapple Express, cleverly. Our only input was, we told him we wanted it to sound like his 80s work that we loved so much. And we wanted to have the plot in it. And we wanted to have him say the title as many times as he could. There is a lot of alto sax. It is kind of like that “other” Back to the Future Huey Lewis song. Not “Power of Love” but “Back in Time”. Yeah.”
Pineapple Express opens August 8.
