The original video posted by Nathan Apodaca, which inspired Mick Fleetwood himself, also has a story behind it. Apodaca was going to work on September 25 when his SUV’s battery ran out. To cover the rest of the distance to work, Apodaca grabbed his longboard, his large bottle of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice and recorded his journey as he coasted through the highway lip-syncing to Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams.
Apodaca’s video has brought respite to netizens who are looking for some feel-good content on social media. One user commented, “I have legit watched this 20+ times. This is therapy.”
The video has received over 23 million views on TikTok and even caught the eye of Ocean Spray company. Earlier this week, the company sent him a surprise gift, a cranberry red Nissan pickup truck. Inside the truck were bottles of Ocean Spray juice.
Apodaca’s viral video has also revived the charm of the hit song. The classic 1977 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 has garnered 8.47 million on-demand streams in the US last week, according to Billboard.
