Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car was based on a line from which Sherman Brothers song?
Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" is a 1988 single by Trinidadian-born 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". Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) video, which featured cartoon mixed with live-action sequences. The song went to number one on both the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts. It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart.
Downbound Train "Downbound Train" is a song that appears on the 1984 Bruce Springsteen album "Born in the U.S.A." The song is a lament to a lost spouse, and takes on a melancholy tone. Author Christopher Sandford described the song as beginning "like a Keith Richards' riff" that ultimately moves to "one of those great country busted-heart lines, 'Now I work down at the car wash/where all it ever does is rain.'"
