Mick Fleetwood joined TikTok in style Sunday, posting his own version of the viral video of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" — played while skateboarding and drinking a bottle of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice.

The video sensation started last month with Nathan Apodaca, 37, who shot his joyful, original selfie video skateboarding down an Idaho highway. Wearing a grey hoodie, Apodaca was drinking Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice out of the bottle and lip syncing to Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 hit "Dreams."

The Fleetwood Mac co-founder, 73, payed homage to Apodaca (@420doggface208) and the original TikTok "Dreams" craze with his carefree video Sunday, lipsyncing to "Dreams" while swigging the juice.

Fleetwood emphasized the lyrics, "It's only right that you should play the way you feel it."

"@420doggface208 had it right. Dreams and Cranberry just hits different," he wrote in the video caption.

"Had way to much fun with this!!" Fleetwood wrote on his Instagram account.

The official Fleetwood Mac Twitter account had already embraced Apodaca's TikTok video, tweeting "We love this!" on Sept. 26.

Billboard reports that "Dreams," the band's lone No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, experienced a spike in sales and streams tied to the viral video.

For the three-day period of Sept. 25-27, "Dreams" racked up 2.9 million on-demand U.S. streams and 3000 in digital download sales — numbers up 88.7% and 374%, respectively, from their totals in the prior three-day periods, Billboard reported. The song also climbed as high as No. 24 on Spotify's U.S. Daily chart on Sept. 27.

Apodaca had done well, too. The Idaho Falls resident, who had been living in an RV with no running water, told TMZ that he’s taken in over $10,000 in donations from fans. He plans to gift $5,000 to his mom, buy a new RV and upgrade his busted car — the reason he was getting around on a skateboard to make the video.
