Huey Lewis and the News: The Power of Love Back to the Future Trilogy.

When its used: 1. First film: Skateboarding to school high 2. First film: Auditioning at Battle of the Bands low Huey Lewis actually plays one of the judges. 3. First film: When Marty returns to his neighbourhood - high 4. Second film: Marty plays it on guitar after being fired - low 5. Third film: When Needles challenges Marty to a car race Other use: The Huey Lewis music video: The band is playing in a nightclub with Dr. Emmett Brown showing up in his DeLorean car.

Interpretation: 1. The trilogy is based on the notion of travelling back and forth through time, but the song is a representation of continuity: Marty is the reference point from which the narrative spirals out. 2. The song represents Martys highs and lows, but ultimately signifies his ethos in life: dont need money, dont need fame, dont need a credit card to ride this train.

The music is both diegetic (audition, guitar, car race) and non-diegetic (skateboard, returning to neighbourhood).
