With nearly 20 top-ten singles under their belt, San Francisco-based rock & rollers Huey Lewis and the News’ remarkable career has spanned more than 30 years. The band made their Rock Band debut with “The Power of Love” on the Rock Band 3 disc, and now three more of the group’s hits are headed to the Music Store on February 28th.
“Do You Believe in Love,” from 1982’s Picture This, and the band’s first top ten hit, kicks off the three pack. “The Heart of Rock & Roll” and “I Want a New Drug” – both from their platinum-selling third record, 1983’s Sports – round out this collection of chart-topping hits. All songs will feature support for keyboards, with a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade available for “I Want a New Drug.”
Available on Xbox 360, Wii™ and PlayStation®3 system (February 28th, 2012):

Wait a minute.... HORRY SHIRT! "Do You Believe In Love"? well I just had a total "Oh, that song" moment when I listened to it. Dat bass pedal interlude at 0:43, love it! Gives me a total ELO vibe overall. Not a fan of "Heart Of Rock And Roll" at all. "I Want A New Drug" is okay then.
So one fantastic song (Do You Believe In Love)
One alright song. (I Want A New Drug)
And one song I don't care for. (Heart Of Rock & Roll)
May get the whole pack, considering I get a bit of a discount on that song I don't really like.

Power of Love has a pretty cool Pro solo, I Want a New Drug sounds even moreso focused on lead guitar, I can easily see myself picking that up for the upgrade. Do You Believe in Love? is probably for parties. Heart of Rock and Roll will probably be a pass.
Actually, there was that kind of potential slip of "Men At Work" coming to Rock Band on a HMX blog post about a month back, so I have a feeling folks'll be predicting that constantly when it comes to DLC prediction topics in the future.

ALso, how many people have honest to god, cross their heart and hope to die, seen American Psycho? Because this is getting really overused.
Seen it, was like 13/14 at the time, and it was a few years after the original theatre release.

Even though I'm not a fan of "Heart Of Rock & Roll" I just gotta say "DAT KEYS CHART"! Looks great from the preview video.

I think this is the first time that we're getting both a potential Weird Al parody and the other side of a plagiarism case (especially when we have the other song in the case already)!
