Huey Lewis has some good News for Pineapple Express

Like every subject he touches these days, Judd Apatow is about to make Huey Lewis relevant again. As had been rumored, the harmonica maestro (with The News in tow) did indeed craft the theme song for Apatow's upcoming stoner, er, pardon, "buddy," flick Pineapple Express. Check it out on the Pineapple Express soundtrack's MySpace page, and try not to laugh too hard when you hear one of the icons of pop-rock utter the word "chronic" and inhale, Dr. Dre-style.

Actually, the soundtrack is looking pretty great. Cypress Hill, Spiritualized, M.I.A., Public Enemy... With Seth Rogen practically typecast for this role, we may be looking at the Apocalypse Now of stoner films, ladies and gentlemen. Just in case you needed some motivation to get up off your couch and head to a 4:20 showing of this gem on Aug. 8, check out the red-band trailer and get ready to giggle uncontrollably:
