"Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" is a 1988 song by Trinidadian-British singer Billy Ocean, based on a line in the Sherman Brothers' song (famously covered by Johnny Burnette as well as Ringo Starr) "You're Sixteen". It was released as the first single from Ocean's seventh album, Tear Down These Walls (1988). Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) music video, which featured animation mixed with live-action sequences. The song became Ocean's third and final US number one single to date, going to number one on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts. It was also his seventh and most recent single to reach the US top ten. The song also peaked at number one in seven other countries, including Canada, where it was the country's most successful single of 1988. It peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, making it Ocean's sixth and last top ten hit to date there. The song was featured on the soundtrack of the 1988 film License to Drive. It was later covered by Fenix TX for the soundtrack of NASCAR Thunder 2003. In 2013, Gwar covered the song in a video featured on The A.V. Club website as part of the site's A.V. Undercover series. Approximately three minutes into the performance, the band incorporates the Who's "Baba O'Riley" into the song. The song is mentioned in a 2014 TV commercial for Twix Bites. It appears in a 2018 commercial for Applebee's.[3] The song was also parodied by comedian and actor Jason Sudeikis as 1980s fake singer Ocean Billy in the Worst of Soul Train sketch on Saturday Night Live with the title "Get Out of My Car, Get into My Trunk".[4] Amazon Prime later included a version with lyrics rewritten and performed by Jon Batiste in an advertisement to promote Prime Day.[5] The short but notable saxophone solo is by Vernon Jeffrey Smith.[6]
