Off and on for the past couple of weeks I've had "Mr Sandman" going through my head. Why? And I only really know one or two lines from the song, so it's pretty much the same bit that repeats over and over in my head. It seems to pop into my head a lot when I'm out walking the dog.

Yeah, I don't know either.

Mr Sandman bring me a dreeeeeem

*sigh*

I wonder if I'm the only one who thought of Metallica in the first instance.

Ha, we used to sing that at the sing-alongs my mom would put on at the retirement homes nearby. I wonder if I still know all the words...*hums experiementally* Yeah, I think I do!

Now I want to know why that part of my brain isn't remembering something useful, instead?

this time of year as things are starting to bloom I inevitably get "Green Green" by Johnny Rivers stuck in my head (green green, it's green they say on the far side of the hill...)

Although today we're watching "Pan's Labyrinth" again so that music will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung.….)

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung)

Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.


There, now you know all the words! :-D

Personally, I think of that bit in Back to the Future when Marty McFly first gets back to 1955 and sees the "full service" station.
