Billy Ocean - "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"

[Deleted]

So this didn't have a thread. Crisis averted.

Remember that part where he got out of the car and walked past the guy showering in the fire hydrant spray, then the gas pumps turned into cartoon backing singers? Me too.

#1 hit from 1988, maybe one of the catchiest things ever, and it never came up in that one thread on "rape-y" songs from back in the day.

This is a great track. The production is perfect for the vibe it captures, but that's to be expected with the great Mutt Lange at the helm.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is one of my favorite movies of all time, so naturally I love this video as well.

Hilariously bad song.

"Hey Cindarella, step into your shoe."

Where Lange would show the seeds of his more pop later works. I wasn't a fan of his productions since Back in Black and I think even the Cars would have been better to not had worked with him.

This song should make me lactose intolerant, but I've always been fond of this song. Billy's vocals and the cheesiness of the lyrics do it for me in regards to why I love this song. It's just so 80s in every sense of the term and I'm totally okay with that.

[Soulsista]

Not my favorite from him, but I like it.

[Unhinged]

Pure 80's cheese and I love it.

One of my faves from him, actually. Such a huge, classic bop.

[disman00911]

So cheesy!  I prefer other songs from him like "Caribbean Queen"
