10-27-11 - "You Make My Dreams Come True" ~ Hall And Oates

In honor of my housemate Matt's birthday, and the fact that all of us except him have a crush on Zooey Deschanel, and some of us may have a man-crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt as well, here's a sweet song which was featured in (500) Days Of Summer.  Hall and Oates have a surprising catalog - you might not realize how many of their tunes you know and love from various films over the years, or from actually living through the '80s.  They're even from Matt's hometown of Philadelphia (poor guys, the lot of 'em!)


(the music video is totally '80s and spectacular...)

(and here's the scene from the movie... kid can dance, eh?)

... and that's what true love is all about; dancing in the streets with strangers, and little animated birdies.  I think we all know that feeling, or at least wish we did...


"What I want, you got

but it might be hard to handle,

like the flame that burns the candle

the candle feeds the flame, yeah, yeah..."
