I guess I kinda like it but not as much as the simple and handsome Hugo.

it's a helicopter ...

Played an important role in Vietnam.
It's one of Donald Duck's nephews, the others being Dewey and Louie.
I think there was a cartoon character at some point named Baby Huey.

It's got a very babyish sound to it, and also sounds like it could be a euphemism for some kind of bodily function.

Makes me think of Huey, Dewey and Louie.

Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

All I can think about is the singer/band of Huey Lewis and the News. A positive association, but I still don't care for it (even as a nn) and I don't believe it can work on it's own. It sounds revolting as well as lacking any substance, and would be hard to take even remotely serious.
Although I'm not a huge fan of them either, I would prefer Hugh, Hugo, or whatever else.

I'd be looking round for Dewey and Louis! And for Uncle Donald. I like both Hugh and Hugo, and I'd much prefer either of them.

I like it.

I like Hewie, as well.

Don't like it, prefer Hugh, Hugo or Huon
