David Gordon Green, the director of the next big Apatow R-Rated comedy hit, this summer’s Pineapple Express, has scored major points in getting Huey Lewis to write and perform the theme song to the flick.

Pineapple Express is about Seth Rogan and James Franco who get caught up in a series of violent crimes because some of Franco’s specialty brand pot is found at the scene of a murder.

The red band trailer we posted earlier made us want to get high and watch the flick immediately, and the new addition of a Huey Lewis theme song makes this film even more tantalizing.

Gordon Green told movieweb:

“Huey Lewis just finished our theme song for us. It is called Pineapple Express, cleverly. Our only input was, we told him we wanted it to sound like his 80s work that we loved so much. And we wanted to have the plot in it. And we wanted to have him say the title as many times as he could. There is a lot of alto sax. It is kind of like that “other” “Back to the Future” Huey Lewis song. Not “Power of Love” but “Back in Time”. Yeah.”

All we know about the song thus far is that it’s chorus is: “We got trouble, we got to get out of here. I’ve got you, you’ve got me. We are as high as we can be. That’s all right. How did we get into this mess? Pineapple Express!”

Awesome.

Let’s buy some Huey Lewis off iTunes. ‘Cause it don’t take money and it don’t take fame, but you need a credit card to ride every train these days…
