About This Track
“Fantasy” is the debut single by Canadian rock musician, Aldo Nova, and is regarded as his most popular work to date. Released on his eponymous debut album in 1981, the song climbed to #3 on the Mainstream rock chart, and #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[1] The song was featured in a flashback sequence in the final episode of the popular television series, Rob & Big. A cover version of the song, performed by Steel Panther, is the current theme song for the MTV show Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory.
VH1 listed it at #78 on its countdown for the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
Music Video:
The video shows Aldo performing with his band at a concert. Its best remembered for its intro that starts out with a guy holding an electric guitar and two bodyguards holding machine guns, waiting for someone. Then comes a helicopter landing from the sky and Aldo comes out in a leopard-print suit being escorted to the stage. When they encouter a locked door which the bodyguards can’t open up, Aldo grabs his guitar and fires a laser to the door and it opens.
The helicopter scene and the laser scene were both Aldo’s idea.
