Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car

Billy Ocean

Hey (hey), you (you)
Get in to my car
(Who me?)
Yes, you
Get in to my car
Oh, hey

Who's that lady coming down the road?
Who's that lady?
Who's that woman walking through my door?
What's the score?
I'll be the sun shining on you
Hey, Cinderella, step in your shoe

I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Get outta my dreams
Get in to my car
(Get in to my car)
Get outta my dreams
Get in to the back seat, baby
Get in to my car
(Beep, beep, yeah)
Get outta my mind
(Get outta my mind)
Get in to my life
(Ooh)
Oh, I said, hey (hey), you (you)
Get in to my car

Oh-oh, baby

Lady driver, let me take the wheel
Smooth operator
Touch my bumper (bumper)
Hey, and let's make a deal
Make it real
Like a road runner
Coming after you
Just like a hero outta the blue

I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Get outta my dreams, ooh
Get in to my car
(Get in to my car)
Get outta my dreams
Get in to the back seat, baby
Get in to my car
(Beep, beep, yeah)
Get outta my mind
(Get outta my mind)
Get in to my life
(Ooh)
Oh, I said, hey (hey), you (you)
Get in to my car

Oh, baby, let's go

I said, open the door
(Get in the back)
Foot on the floor
(Get on the track)
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Hey (hey), hey (hey)
Let's go

Oh, baby, ooh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah

I'll be the sun shining on you
Hey, Cinderella, step in your shoe
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Get outta my
Get outta my dreams
Get in to my car
(Get in to my car)
Get outta my dreams
Get in to the back seat, baby
Get in to my car
(Beep, beep, yeah)
Get outta my mind
(Get outta my mind)
Get in to my life
(Ooh)
Oh, I said, hey (hey), you (you)
Get in to my
Hey (hey), you (you)
Get in to my
Hey (hey), ooh, you (you)
Get in to my car

Oh, oh, oh, you
Oh, get in the back seat
I need you
Get in the back seat
'Cause I want you to be my baby

    I really didn't think much about this song when it was released in 1988 until my now late brother and a friend told me how much they liked it and it reflected their feelings for finding the right woman, a livelong love. They said it in a light-hearted way but I could tell they were also serious. It was pretty much of a mantra for them and both of them were married within a couple of years, loves that withstood the test of time. Today it especially reminds me of the brother I lost and miss.

    Listening to the lyrics now the song definitely has a touch of a sleazy Pretty Woman rescue story thing going on. The song is about his fixation with a lady he’s seen on the road while cruising in his car. He talks of “making a deal” with her at the roadside, and her being like Cinderella (so him Prince Charming) with connotations of him saving her a life of servitude. Combine that with the whole song is purely about sex, sex in cars and notably not romantic love “I’ll be your nonstop lover”, and it’s reasonable to suggest the song tells a story of a man with long standing but as yet unrealized fantasies about sex with prostitutes, and his obsession with a particular hooker he’s seen while curb crawling. This song came out 2 years before the Pretty Woman movie, so it’s too much to suggest any connection there, but the imagery the song suggests is definitely in that ball park.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
