Dreams keep coming true for Nathan Apodaca , the Idaho man whose groovy interpretation of a Fleetwood Mac classic has made him an internet superstar.

On Sept. 25, Apodaca who goes by @420doggface208 on TikTok posted footage of himself lip-syncing to Fleetwood Macs Dreams while riding a skateboard and sipping from a bottle of Ocean Sprays Cran-Raspberry juice. Though simple in its execution, the 22-second video went viral and has since been viewed more than 69 million times on TikTok and Twitter .

It also prompted a streaming spike for Dreams, which originally appeared on Fleetwood Macs 1977 masterpiece album, Rumours . According to Billboard , the song garnered 8.47 million on-demand streams in the U.S. last week, an increase of 125% compared with the previous week.

Last weekend, Fleetwood Mac co-founder Mick Fleetwood got in on the fun, too, posting his own take on Apodacas moves as his debut TikTok post. On Thursday, the two men were virtually united in a joint BBC News interview , at which point Fleetwood personally thanked Apodaca for having revived interest in his bands 43-year-old song.

We owe you, Fleetwood said. Its such a great story, and so needed in days that are really challenging. It makes people smile, and Im so happy to be part of it.

After congratulating Apodaca on a wild, wild skateboard journey that has led us to talking today, he added, Youre right in my heart.

Speaking to Andy Cohen on Sirius XM that same day, Fleetwood said bandmate Stevie Nicks, who wrote Dreams, wouldve saluted Apodaca on his success, too.

She must be celebrating right now, he said . Its great to be connected unexpectedly. Thats what I think is so cool about this. Its not all super-planned and super-anything.
