A 2nd clip was made in order to promote the artist behind the song instead of just being a promotional material for "Streets of Fire" of which
"I Can Dream About You" is part of the soundtrack. While the film appears in the background (the 1st clip), here Dan Hartman plays a hard working
bartender who tries to get the attention of a beautiful woman (Joyce Hyser) in the crowd.
An interesting idea that knows how to sell the romance ideal from the song. What prevents the music video of becoming a far greater idea was the lack of a rival for our hero, to match with the film idea; and the lack of a more appealing editing and camera angles when he finally takes the lady to dance with him, all filmed from the same angle and it's a little difficult to see both on the same frame (stunt double used to dance, probably).
But those are little complaints, they don't hurt the idea neither the enjoyment of such high-spirited clip with a great energy to share. And the song is a favorite of many, I think. 9/10.
