Huey Lewis & the News has a new drug.

Rogen plays a stoner and James Franco is his dealer. The two find themselves on the run from some really bad dudes after Rogen’s character witnesses a murder. Pineapple Express is the name of the fictional strain weed that Franco’s character sells.

Before they knew it, Lewis screened the movie and sent them some lyrics. “We told him that we wanted a theme song that told the plot of the movie and said the title a lot,” Green said. “It’s very '80s-inspired and very Back to the Future-esque.”
