Get Into My Car!
/Where do I even start with this quintessential 80's super guilty pleasure??? I both love this song and find it utterly hilarious. It starts by a cruising down the street Billy basically commanding that this chick "gets into his car!" I think in today's terms that's otherwise known as "attempted rape". It just would never fly today, which is such a shame. Everything nowadays is so overly cautious and politically correct, so we miss out on nutty gems such as this. Slightly confused, the woman replies "who me?", to which an increasingly insistent Billy bellows, "yes you! Get into my car!!" Apparently she went.
Song of the day
Listen to Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car by Billy Ocean
I play this out on my mind every time I listen to this, which happens to be quite a bit, and I can just picture Oprah shaking her head in disappointment. As well as every self defense instructor who I imagine is doing the same thing. Isn't that safety 101, to never get into the vehicle🙈🚘? Especially if the driver is screaming at you and is wearing a double breasted suit with a gheri curl. Run! In Billy's defense, That may be the greatest pickup line of the century, "Get out of my dreams, get into my car". I am going to make my sons rehearse that, not because it's smooth but because it's so insanely cheesy that it will catch the girl off guard, and she'll be too flabbergasted NOT to fall for it. Mr. Ocean sounds so passionate and intense while shouting all his instructions, and the result is a super catchy, fun song. Any song where I can pretend I'm a backup singer singing "beep beep, yeah" is going to make the top of my list. Just let your silly flag fly and enjoy this one! But for Christ's sake, under no circumstances should you get into that car. Even though that line is stupidly flattering...
