Hip to Be Square is a song by Huey Lewis and the News, written by Bill Gibson, Sean Hopper, and Huey Lewis, and released in 1986 as the second single from the multi-platinum album, Fore!. It is sung from the perspective of an individual who was once a free-spirited member of the 1960s hippie movement, but who has now embraced the square yuppie lifestyle of the 1980s. The song features Pro Football Hall of Famers and then-San Francisco 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott singing backup vocals. The single reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In concert, Huey Lewis now normally sings the song as (Too) Hip to Be Square, as performed on their live album, Live at 25.
