[net.music] A summary on Heuy Lewis.

wargo@sdcsla.UUCP (08/07/84)

" The LAST city mentioned on the radio version
is
BALTIMORE "


  " This is true, but the Chicago radio stations have a version
which continues:  "Chicago!   Kansas City!"  and on to the
refrain. "


" He sings "In Cleveland" and then yells out "Detroit! oof!  Heart of Rock
and Roll!" and then they go into that (personal opinion) extremely boring
musical refrain. "


" Sorry to disappoint you guy,
But he says BAL-TI-MORE!! "


" After driving 2500 miles across this fruited-plain country of ours,
listening to the radio, I realized that there are different versions of the
Heart of Rock & Roll.  As near as I could tell, Heuy spent some time dubbing in
the names of most major cities near the end of the song.  In 6 days, I counted
no less than 4 different versions. "


And there you have it, for what it's worth.....
