I did not know that. I'm kind of a music nut and I never realized the similarities. Too funny.

Yep. It was pretty much a slam dunk case, since the movie producers first approached Lewis and asked him to write a song for them. After he turned them down, they went to Parker, who was primarily a studio artist without any prior hits, and asked him to write a song that sounded like Huey Lewis!
