"Only in My Dreams" is the debut single for American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson. Released in late 1986, as a maxi single (Atlantic DM 86744), and then in remixed form (Vocal/3:50, as described herein) February 1987, the song was written by Gibson herself in 1984, two years before she recorded it.〔Out of the Blue (Debbie Gibson songbook), CatNo. HL00356822. Hal Leonard, 1988.〕 Produced by Fred Zarr and engineered by Don Feinberg for BiZarr Music, Inc., mixed by "Little" Louie Vega and mastered by Herb "Pump" Powers, the dance-pop song reached number four on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart in the summer of 1987. Douglas Breitbart for Broadbeard Productions, Inc. served as executive producer (''see also Debbie Gibson''). While it did not initially make the UK top fifty, "Dreams" re-entered the UK singles chart in 1988 on the back of the success of her second single (viz., "Shake Your Love," Atlantic UK A9187), eventually peaking at #11. The Extended Club Mix/Vocal track (6:34) from DM 86744 was excerpted for a dance medley, "Medley: Out of the Blue - Shake Your Love - Only in My Dreams" (Debbie Gibson Mega Mix), that became Track 4 on Atlantic DM 86556 "Foolish Beat." A different mix, "Only in My Dreams" (LP Version/3:54), mastered from the original multitrack for DM 86744, became Track 3 on Gibson's debut album ''Out Of The Blue'' (Atlantic LP 81780), and a further variation, "Only in My Dreams (Dream House Mix/10:03)," was Track 3 on Atlantic DM 86556 "Foolish Beat." Since the song's release, Gibson has re-recorded the song twice: in 1997 for her album ''Deborah'' and in 2010 for the Deluxe Edition release of the Japan-exclusive ''Ms. Vocalist''. The song was voted #95 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s. ==Music video== The music video for this song was recorded as a dream sequence at Asbury Park beach, NJ, the carousel in the Asbury Park casino (still in use back then), and outside the Asbury Park Convention Center where headliner concerts are still held today. Across the street from the beach, The Stone Pony where Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi got their start, is still in operation. Gibson has several different changes of wardrobe throughout the video. The video shows the futility of a teenage girl attempting to get the man of her dreams to look at her, and when he does, she realizes that she was dreaming the whole event, thus causing her world to come crashing down around her. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Only in My Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
