Although Huey licensed "Hip to be Square" to be used in the film "American Psycho", he forbade the song to be included on the the CD soundtrack.

Huey successfully sued Ray Parker Jr. for plagiarizing his song "I Want A New Drug" (based over similarities Parker Jr. used in the opening theme of "Ghostbusters"). The two settled the matter out of court and agreed not to talk about it in public. However, in 2001, Huey talked about the case in public on an episode of "Behind the Music". Parker Jr. then sued Lewis for violating their agreement.
