Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car

January 01, 1970

"Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" is a song by the Trinidadian-British singer Billy Ocean, based on a line in the Sherman Brothers' song "You're Sixteen". It was released as the first single from Ocean's seventh studio album Tear Down These Walls (1988). Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) music video, which features animation mixed with live-action sequences. The saxophone solo is performed by Vernon Jeffrey Smith.[3]
