Throw Me The Statue Cover Huey Lewis
In March we reported that Menomena and Throw Me The Statue had been added to the ever expanding Huey Lewis & the News covers compilation Are You Still With Me?!, joining the likes of My Brightest Diamond, Apostle Of Hustle, Will Johnson, Catfish Haven, and Oh No! Oh My! in their stabs at all things Huey. Well, now we have Throw Me The Statue's smooth, dusky cover of 1983's "If This Is It" in listenable form. It's chillier than the original.
Throw Me The Statue - "If This Is It" (Huey Lewis Cover) (MP3)
The song showed up in original form on Sports. This is what it looked like.
Hot.

Yeah, not sure if I'm proud of knowing this, but "If This Is It" was not on the Sports album, it was on the follow-up, "Fore!".
Yeah.
Score = 0
No need to be embarrassed: It really was on Sports. So, you're wrong and therefore ... cool.
Score = 0
Yeah, the cover's fine....But based on the entertainment value of that video, Huey's version beats the hell out of it.
Score = -1
