“You Make My Dreams” from the album Voices, released in 1980
Songfacts.com says that John Oates explained “You Make My Dreams” happened “through a happy accident, my guitar player friend of mine and myself were jamming in the dressing room, and I started playing a delta blues and he started playing a Texas swing, and we put them together, and all of a sudden into my head popped ‘you make my dreams.’ I just started singing it. I don’t know why, but I did. And it sounded really cool and everyone liked it. It was as simple as that.”
I mean, come on.
That’s pretty freaking cool.
And we all need a straight up happy song every now and again.
