You know a TikTok trend has taken off when one of the men behind-the-music joins in on the action. Case in point: Mick Fleetwood, the bearded frontman of Fleetwood Mac, drinking from a bottle of Ocean Spray cranberry juice while riding a “skateboard” and lip-synching to the band’s hit song “Dreams” for social media fans everywhere.

Fleetwood Mac Cranberry Juice TikTok
Wyoming dad Nathan Apodaca, who goes by Dogg Face on TikTok, went viral after posting a TikTok video featuring Fleetwood Mac’s hit 1974 song “Dreams.” In the video, Apodaca rides his skateboard down the road, drinking cranberry juice with a totally tranquil expression. He then turns, lip-synchs a couple of Stevie Nick’s lines, and the video ends.
As TikTok trends do, the Fleetwood Mac “Dreams” trend exploded. Since then, the clip has gained more than 24 million views (it’s growing every day) and the admiration of internet users everywhere — including the band Fleetwood Mac itself. The official Fleetwood Mac Twitter account shared the clip with the message, “We love this!”
In case you missed it, here’s the original that Fleetwood Mac reposted.
