Song of the Day: Huey Lewis and the News, "Pineapple Express"

Horns blasting, hilarious lyrics and a beat that chugs along like, oh yeah, you guessed it, an express train. This is what the title track off the soundtrack to the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy Pineapple Express sounds like. Who had the honors (or, who honored the filmmakers, perhaps) of creating the fun, fast-paced "Pineapple Express"? None other than Huey Lewis and the News.

You can take a listen to the song over on the soudtrack's MySpace page (the song begins playing immediately, just FYI). Then you, too, can revel in these awesome lyrics:

"How'd we get into this mess?!
Pineapple Express!
Not used to this stress!"

My money says this song is used during a wacky montage in which the totally high duo tries to make a quick getaway in their car but of course, they're "not used to this stress" and their plan goes awry. This song sounds like it's perfect for the movie. Check it out on MySpace and tell me what you think.
