I have finally understood the play on the two uses of “held up” (physically versus popularity wise), although the second one is implicit. But why does Bender pick on Sports by Huey Lewis specifically? The Wikipedia article says that it
reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on June 30, 1984, and ultimately charted for 160 weeks.


I believe It’s a reference to American Psycho. The wiki page covers it under the legacy section.
I did read that, but I have never watched American Psycho. 🫣
