"Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" is a 1988 single by Trinidadian-born British singer Billy Ocean, based on a line in the Sherman Brothers' song (famously covered by Johnny Burnette as well as Ringo Starr) "You're Sixteen". Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) video, which featured cartoon mixed with live-action sequences. The song went to number one on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts.[2] It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
The song was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1988 film License to Drive. The song was covered by Fenix TX for the soundtrack of NASCAR Thunder 2003. In 2013, Gwar covered the song in a video featured on The A.V. Club website as part of the site's A.V. Undercover series. Approximately three minutes into the performance, the band incorporates The Who's "Baba O'Riley" into the song. The song is mentioned in a 2014 commercial for Twix Bites.
The short but notable saxophone solo is by Vernon Jeffrey Smith.[4]

Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend is the debut mini-LP by American rock band Fall Out Boy. Recorded in two days[5] around February to September 2002[6] on a low budget, the rushed schedule left the band discontent and ceasing to call it their debut album. Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend was released in 2003 through Uprising Records against the band's wishes. In 2005, Uprising released a remastered reissue as Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, without the band's involvement, following the band's very successful major label debut From Under the Cork Tree. It eventually sold over 127,000 copies in the United States by August 2008, according to Billboard.[7][8] The photograph on the cover of this album was shot by Adeet Deshmukh in Chicago's Pick Me Up Café located at 3408 N. Clark Street.[9] The girl who is pictured on the cover is a waitress at said café, and her name is Lavinia, as noted in the booklet of the album.

Background and development[edit]
Fall Out Boy formed near Chicago, Illinois in 2001.[10] The band debuted with a self-released demo in the same year and released Project Rocket / Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket, in 2002, through Uprising Records. The lyrics to the whole album are written by lead vocalist Patrick Stump. On later albums, bassist Pete Wentz wrote the majority of the band's lyrics. The album is also the only Fall Out Boy album not featuring Andy Hurley on drums. Evening Out was not actually recorded with five members, contrary to what is shown in the album art. The members at that time were Patrick Stump (lead vocals), Pete Wentz (bass guitar), Joe Trohman (guitar) and Mike Pariskuwicz (drums). Although incorrect, Pariskuwicz and guitarist TJ Racine have been said to be two Chicago musicians the band recruited in their early days, who left after Evening Out was released before Stump picked up guitar and Hurley joined as the full-time drummer to form the band's current lineup. Stump explained that "TJ Racine was already out of the band by the time [Fall Out Boy] tracked [(recorded) the album]" and that TJ "wasn't in the band for that long". Pariskuwicz did indeed handle the drumming duties for the album. After the release, he left the band and Andy Hurley would join as the current drummer and record the follow-up album Take This to Your Grave (2003). Trohman played almost all the guitars on it, with Stump playing a small part on "Moving Pictures". The entire album was recorded in two days and the rushed nature left the band dissatisfied and did not want it released. Stump also stated "I don't consider it a real album." The band was not involved in the 2005 re-release and did not receive royalties for either versions, with Patrick Stump stating "both were a scam on us".[11]
Songs from Evening Out were played by the band in their early shows to a small local audience, before they received mainstream attention. When the band reached mainstream popularity, they did not often mention this album.
"Calm Before the Storm" was later re-recorded with additions to the arrangement, including backing vocals (screaming) from bassist Pete Wentz, for the follow-up album Take This to Your Grave later that year. "Pretty in Punk" is a play on the title of the John Hughes film Pretty in Pink, and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose (But I'm Gunna Give It My Best Shot)" is a reference to the television show Parker Lewis Can't Lose. Different recordings of "Switchblades and Infidelity", "Growing Up" and "Moving Pictures" were released on the band's Project Rocket / Fall Out Boy split EP.
A part of the song "Growing Up" is sung by William Beckett of The Academy Is... in Fall Out Boy's later song "What a Catch, Donnie", from their 2008 release Folie à Deux. A new version of the song was later recorded and included as the last track on the band's 2009 greatest hits album, Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits.
Reception[edit]
Chart performance[edit]
Fall Out Boy's debut album has had no mainstream attention, and it has not reached any charts. Also, no singles were released from this album. The original release is not featured on the official Fall Out Boy website, rather the remastered edition is. Many reviewers, including Allmusic, consider Take This to Your Grave as Fall Out Boy's first album, possibly due to Evening Out with Your Girlfriend being a mini-LP and not a full-length release, or unknown. Also, in the lyric booklet of Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits, the band start off with the making of Take This to Your Grave, completely omitting Evening Out with Your Girlfriend. However, the track "Growing Up" is included as the last track Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits as a "rarity".

Notes: [3]
Seawise Giant, later Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, Knock Nevis, Oppama, and finally Mont, was a ULCC supertanker that was the longest ship ever built. She possessed the greatest deadweight tonnage ever recorded. Fully loaded, her displacement was 657,019 tonnes (646,642 long tons; 724,239 short tons), the heaviest ship of any kind, and with a laden draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), she was incapable of navigating the English Channel, the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. Overall, she is generally considered the largest ship ever built.[5][6] She was sunk during the Iran–Iraq War, but was later salvaged and restored to service.[7] She was last used as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) moored off the coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf at the Al Shaheen Oil Field.[8]
The vessel was sold to Indian ship breakers, and renamed Mont for its final journey in December 2009. After clearing Indian customs she sailed to Alang, Gujarat where she was beached for scrapping.[8][9]

History[edit]
Seawise Giant was ordered in 1974 and delivered in 1979 by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. at its Oppama shipyard in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan as a 418,611 ton ULCC.[10] The vessel remained unnamed for a long time, and was identified by its hull number, 1016. During sea trials, 1016 exhibited massive vibration problems while going astern. The Greek owner refused to take delivery and the vessel was subject to a lengthy arbitration proceeding. Following settlement the vessel was sold and christened Oppama by S.H.I.[5]
Size comparison of some of the longest ships. From top to bottom: Knock Nevis (ex-Seawise Giant), Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller, Vale Brasil, Allure of the Seas, and USS Enterprise (CVN-65).
The shipyard exercised its right to sell the vessel and a deal was brokered with Hong Kong Orient Overseas Container Line founder C. Y. Tung to lengthen the ship by several metres and add 146,152 metric tons of cargo capacity through jumboisation. Two years later it was relaunched as Seawise Giant.[5][11] "Seawise", a pun on "C.Y.'s", was used in the names of other ships owned by C.Y. Tung, including Seawise University.[12]
After the refit, the ship had a capacity of 564,763 tonnes deadweight (DWT), a length overall of 458.45 m (1,504.1 ft) and a draft of 24.611 m (80.74 ft). It had 46 tanks, 31,541 m2 (339,500 sq ft) of deck space, and drew too much water to pass through the English Channel.[5] The rudder weighed 230 tons, the propeller 50 tons.[13]
Seawise Giant was damaged and sunk[7] during the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War by an Iraqi Air Force attack while anchored off Larak Island on 14 May 1988 and carrying Iranian crude oil. The ship was struck by parachute bombs. Fires ignited aboard the ship and blazed out of control,[14] and it sank in the shallow waters off the coast of Larak Island, Iran.[15] It was declared a total loss and was written off.[16]
Shortly after the Iran-Iraq war ended, Norman International bought the shipwreck, salvaged and repaired it.[7] It was renamed Happy Giant after the repairs.[3] These repairs were done at the Keppel Company shipyard in Singapore after towing it from the Persian Gulf. It entered service in October 1991 as Happy Giant.[16]
Jørgen Jahre bought the tanker in 1991 for US$39 million and renamed it Jahre Viking. From 1991 to 2004, it was owned by Loki Stream AS and flew the Norwegian flag.[16]
In 2004, it was purchased by First Olsen Tankers Pte. Ltd., renamed Knock Nevis, and converted into a permanently moored storage tanker in the Qatar Al Shaheen oil field in the Persian Gulf.[5][16]
Knock Nevis, ex-Seawise Giant (in red) compared to large ships and buildings:
The Pentagon, 1,414 feet, 431 m
RMS Queen Mary 2, 1,132 feet, 345 m
USS Enterprise, 1,123 feet, 342 m
Hindenburg, 804 feet, 245 m
Yamato, 863 feet, 263 m
Empire State Building, 1,454 feet, 443 m
Knock Nevis, ex-Seawise Giant, 1,503 feet, 458 m
Apple Park, 1,522 feet, 464 m
Knock Nevis was renamed Mont, and reflagged to Sierra Leone by new owners Amber Development Corporation, for its final voyage to India in January 2010 where it was scrapped by Priyablue Industries Pvt. Ltd. The vessel was beached on December 22, 2009.[4][9][17] Its 36 tonne anchor was saved and sent to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum for exhibition.[18][19]
Size record[edit]
Seawise Giant was the longest ship ever constructed, at 458.45m, longer than the height of many of the world's tallest buildings: although slightly smaller than Taipei 101's 509 m (1,670 ft), it was larger than the Petronas Twin Towers' 451.9 m (1,483 ft).
Despite its great length, Seawise Giant was not the largest ship by gross tonnage, ranking fifth at 260,941 GT, behind the four 274,838 to 275,276 GT Batillus-class supertankers. It is the longest and largest by deadweight: 564,763 metric tons. Batillus-class ships and Seawise Giant were the largest self-propelled objects ever constructed.[citation needed]
Seawise Giant was featured on the BBC series Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines while it was underway as Jahre Viking. According to its captain, S. K. Mohan, it could reach up to 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h) in good weather, it took 9 km (5 1⁄2 mi) to stop from that speed, and its turning circle in clear weather was about 3 km (2 mi).[20]

The flag of El Salvador was inspired by the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America and Greater Republic of Central America entities.
Features[edit]
The colors signify:
Royal Cobalt Blue: represents the great sky and two massive oceans of Central America
White: represents peace and solidarity with the world
Golden Amber : represents the entire bold phraseology in the flag, the coat of arms of El Salvador; the bold equilateral triangle, 5 indigenous spears, beaming solar rays, scroll, the bold motto (God Union Liberty) and the bold etymology (Republic of El Salvador in Central America)
There are two versions of the flag, one containing the national coat of arms with the words "REPUBLICA DE EL SALVADOR EN LA AMERICA CENTRAL" (English: Republic of El Salvador in Central America), and the other with the words "DIOS UNION LIBERTAD" (English: God, Union, Liberty); both have the words in amber. The one bearing the coat of arms is used by the government and state organizations. The other version is used for civil purposes. Both contain the same cobalt blue and white stripes and both flags have a 3:5 aspect ratio.
From 1865 to 1912, a different flag was in use, with a field of alternating cobalt blue and white stripes and a red canton containing white stars. The designs of both sides of the flag are different; at the reverse side, it shows the then national coat of arms at the position of stars at obverse. The stars symbolized the provinces of the Republic; once a new province was created, one star was add to the obverse of the flag. This "Star-Striped" banner was considered to be inspired by the flag of the United States.
The blue stripes symbolize the ocean and sky. The white means Peace.
Mesoamerican civilizations in El Salvador cultivated "añil"(Indigo), and used its blue dye extracts for many purposes.
Blue is an important color in Salvadoran culture and identity. It started with Native American cultures of Mesoamerica in El Salvador, that cultivated and produced (añil) indigo plant which they used extracts to produce blue dyes. When the Europeans invaded and colonized the area, they saw the wealth of indigo and turned El Salvador to one of the world's foremost providers of indigo dye in its time. Synonymous to the country's wealth, the colonizers referred to the dye as "the blue gold", that dominated El Salvador's economy until it was completely replaced by coffee cultivation. Today El Salvador remains as one of the few countries in the world that still cultivates indigo to produce blue dyes. Over time El Salvador's flag has had several different shades of blue, from the lightest to darkest. The present current modern flag displays a Cobalt Blue tone.
