Song of the Day 5/9: Hall and Oates, “You Make My Dreams”
MTV changed how music was promoted, but we tend to forget that when music videos were a new medium, record companies weren’t inclined to spend much (read “any”) money on them. For this single from 1980’s “Voices,” Hall and Oates apparently got just one camera, and choreographed the whole band’s performance so everyone could mug for it. And it somehow fits the song perfectly.
