Origin

edit

According to Lewis, the song was written about a girl he liked; however, she did not like the song once he revealed it to her.[3]

Reception

edit

Cash Box called it a "romantic pop song."[4] Billboard said it has "a skewed love lyric set to street-corner harmonizing."[5]

Music video

edit

The music video for "Stuck with You" was filmed in the Bahamas in July 1986 and features Keely Shaye Smith.[6] The island that Lewis and Smith wind up on is a small island about ten miles from Paradise Island in Nassau. The video was filmed on land, on water, underwater, and from the air. The band, the crew and all the extras used in the island barbecue scene had to stay on a barge moored off the island so that they wouldn't be seen. The costumes were designed by Bambi Breakstone who designed the costumes for the 2nd season of Miami Vice (1985/1986).

The video was directed by Edd Griles, who had previously directed the band's videos for "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "If This Is It", as well as Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time".

The chapter reads as a review evaluating the qualities in Huey Lewis' albums— some are New Wave... some bring out his quintessential bluesiness— and these shifts in musical style of this bands are as much 'events' in the novel as anything happening in the lives of the characters.
