Hip to be where?
The release of the American Psycho soundtrack due on 4th April on Koch Records has been put back until April 14th because of legal reasons surrounding the Huey Lewis and the News’ track ‘Hip To Be Square’. Personally I feel that the song should have been outlawed in the first place, but that’s neither here nor there, and it’s removal from the soundtrack now means that the CD contains just fourteen tracks of which the third is the 6:01 Mark Plati Remix of ‘Something In The Air’.
Of course regular readers of ‘Blam’s Little Spot’ (put back this week btw, due to work on the new site) will know that this sort of thing is wonderful for us collectors, and while I realise that the inclusion of the song is purely a reference to the irony of the chapter about Mr Lewis and his friends in the book, I never thought I would be scouring my local CD emporium for a copy of the soundtrack with the aforementioned Huey track!
