The Sorels I Can Dream About You

Okay, folks, let's talk about a song so good, so pure, it should be prescribed by doctors. I'm talking about "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman. Yes, THAT song! You know the one.

It's one of those tunes that instantly transports you back to the 80s, even if you weren't ALIVE in the 80s. Suddenly, you're wearing neon leg warmers and rocking a side ponytail. Don't deny it, the power is real!

The Movie Magic of Streets of Fire

Remember the movie Streets of Fire? If not, picture a rock and roll fairy tale with leather jackets, fire, and Diane Lane as a kidnapped rock star. Good, right? It's like a music video on steroids.

And that's where "I Can Dream About You" gets its extra oomph. The song isn't just a banger; it's practically a character in the film. In my opinion, that helps solidify the song in pop culture history.

Sure, Dan Hartman sings it. But in the movie, it's performed by a fictional band called The Sorels. The singer, Winston Ford, miming the words with such soulful passion, is just unforgettable.

Why The Sorels Version is *Chef's Kiss*

While Hartman's version is fantastic, there's something about the Sorels' performance that hits different. Maybe it's the lighting, the energy, the sheer drama of the scene.

Maybe it's just the fact that they’re fictional. And their version isn't even officially released. So, we only have the movie clip, or bad copies of the clip on YouTube.

Whatever it is, it's pure 80s magic. It's like seeing a unicorn riding a skateboard while juggling Rubik's Cubes. Over the top, but somehow perfect.

And let's be real, who HASN'T lip-synced along in their living room, pretending to be Winston Ford belting out those iconic lyrics? I know I have, many times!

It is just a shame that an official version of the Sorels' recording of the song doesn't exist. The world has been robbed of a masterpiece.

The Undeniable Hook

The melody itself is infectious. Seriously, try listening to it just once and NOT having it stuck in your head for the next three days. I dare you!

That chorus? Forget about it! It's designed to burrow its way into your brain and set up permanent residence. That is, "I can dream about you, if I can't hold you tonight. I can dream about you, you know how to hold me just right".

But honestly, who's complaining? It's a pretty great earworm to have. I'd rather have that in my head than, say, the sound of nails on a chalkboard. That doesn't even sound like a choice.

More Than Just a Song: It's a Feeling

"I Can Dream About You" is more than just a catchy tune. It's a time machine. It's a feeling. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are the things that make you want to dance around your kitchen in your socks.

So, next time you're feeling down, put on Dan Hartman or dream of the Sorels. Turn it up LOUD, and let yourself get swept away by the 80s awesomeness. You deserve it!

And if anyone judges you for your love of cheesy 80s power ballads, just tell them The Sorels sent you.

I am pretty sure that they will understand what you mean. Or at least pretend that they do.
