Take a giant pop smash from 1986 and mix in the dark elements of a 1991 hard rock anthem and you will find a smile on your face, toes tapping and a fist pumping in the air.

“Hip to Be Square” by Huey Lewis & the News gets paired up with “Enter Sandman” by the mighty Metallica for a mash-up you never knew you needed. Until you hear it.

Pieced together by Bill McClintock for what he calls “James Hetfield & the News” I give you “Hip to Be the Sandman”.

You’re welcome.

And yes, that is Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott singing back up with The News. Just in case you don’t remember the OG video!
