Its hard to believe Robert "mutt" lange had a hand on this song



Its one song that is such a cheesy feel good blast from the past.


And the video


Billy was acting all gangster on that spoken intro. Fiddy took lessons

That pickup line was just as bad as the song.

Its too white for most people on here.

you calling Billy White?

lilgish said:

No But the song is. Released in 1988 Sounds kinda goofy next to guy's "groove me" LOL

Also, robert "mutt" lange was not known for his vast rnb roots production wise LOL

Its better then "dancing on the ceiling".

only when you consider the source? Billy was all fluff, the only song I liked was "the going gets tough" or whatever the title was just cause it was used in one of the romancing the stone movies.

lilgish said:

"the going gets stuffed", yeah, that songs cool. Funny video. Again, its so god damn 80's, its classic.

I dont know if billy was trying to be "hip" on "get outta my dreams.....", but that intro is no way to treat a hooker.

i would use billy's pick up line, if i actually had a car. I think it would work. Girls love billy.

Billy is like a mini-me version of Patrick Ewing.

lilgish said:

What happened to billy anyway? I dont think robert lange did much pop/rnb after this, except for working with bolton.

I like Billy's voice a lot,not to be mistaken with his music..(though I must say that "loverboy" has got a brilliant hook/riff..but one of the worst intro's to a single I can think of,LOL...)

Seriously,listen to the way he sings those corny lines in all those singles.The man's got a very cool voice if you listen close enough..

My father says my Uncle Clarence is Billy Ocean in the witness protection program.

Billy was ok
Loverboy and Suddenly are songs

him now

His early 80's albums like "Nights ( Feel Like Getting Down )" and "Inner Feelings" are my faves .
They have musically more solid arrangements from soul and funk .
Completely different from his later and (imo) lamer commercial songs like "Carïbean Queen" , "When The Going Gets Tough" , ...

Shouldn't he b behind the dumpster at Winky's?...

and yes, I actually had the 45 of "Get Outta My Dreams (Get into My Car)" It was the jam in my youth.

thesexofit said:

oh my god, that song is the worst. i forgot about it. thanks for making me think of it again. by the way, i'm reffering to the going gets stuffed.

Dewrede said:

whoa is that him? hasn't aged very well!

Dewrede said:

he looks better now, he should drop a new album.

Don't know if he's still makes music at all , nowadays

That song SUUUUUCKS!!! It pretty much killed Billy Ocean's career. You didn't hear too much from him after that one. Mutt Lange should've saved that song for his wife Shania Twain

HEY YOU!!



GET OFF MY MOUNTAIN!!
