Good Song: Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car by Billy Ocean
Bad Video: Another picture of 80s excess.
0:32 - Billy, I’d put the top up before you drive into a car wash.
0:42 - The frequently-seen “women taking off a jumpsuit to reveal a cocktail dress” fetish of the 80s.
1:12 - What did I tell you?! There goes the suede interior.
2:30 - Yep, nothing terrifying about these singing gas pumps with their full, pouting lips.
3:20 - Should I know who this duck is, other than an obvious copyright infringement on Daffy?
3:50 - Let’s get this straight: Billy Ocean is watching a movie of himself singing one of his own songs. Then the movie Billy Ocean comes out of the screen to the obvious delight of the actual Billy Ocean? COME ON!

About me
Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
