Now get some sleep and dream of rock and roll…

Do you ever wake up with a song in your head?  (Not one of those annoying ones that you can’t stand to have there.  Just a song.  Usually a good one.)

We were listening to some tunes the other night while we were playing cards, and “Chevy Van” came on.  Awesome song, with some (probably unintentionally) funny lyrics, like “Get some sleep and dream of rock and roll.”  Plus, you have to love a song about a Chevy, right?  So, we’ve been cracking up and repeating that line around here every night for… a while.  So far, it never gets old!  We crack ourselves up around here.

So, I wake up with completely random songs in my head ALL the time.  There’s really no logic to it, either.  I’ve started paying attention to what I listen to at  night or hear in the car, and seeing if there’s any connection… there’s not!  Just in the last week, my brain has woken itself up to “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” (Bette Midler version), “Just Another Girl” (Pete Yorn), “Java Jive” (Ink Spots) and this morning… “Mighty Wing” (Cheap Trick), from Top Gun.  Sometimes it’s upbeat, sometimes not so much, but always with no connection to anything that I think I’m thinking about.  It’s like I have my own personal soundtrack in my brain.  But the soundtrack doesn’t always match up with the plot line.  I wonder what tomorrow will bring…
