    Basically, if I remember correctly, Huey Lewis was approached to write the theme song for Ghostbusters. He refused and Ray Parker Jnr got the gig. He released the theme which sounds uncannily like Huey Lewis' song "I Want A New Drug". Huey sued Ray Parker Jnr. It settled out of court. Apparently as a result of the whole ordeal Huey decided to allow "The Power Of Love" to be in Back To The Future and also recorded a new song "Back In Time" for the movie. And of course he's in it at the beginning.
