40 Years Ago - 1984 Huey Lewis and the News had the #1 Dance song in the US with "I Want A New Drug."
It peaked at #6 on the Hot 100.
The song is a love song, and the meaning of the word "drug" in the song was purposely open-ended. "It's really a love song. It's not a pro-drug song; it's not really even an anti-drug song. The word drug sort of gets your attention. But I think in love relationships there's more than 'I want you' or 'I need you' kind of thing."
