Your assignment today, should you choose to accept it, is to help us mine the rich vein of songs that deal with dreams. Song with "dream" in the title. We'll pass on Heart and Aerosmith ... you can help us dig deeper (or at least get sillier). That's the 9:30 Coffee Break today.

But we all know you created this so you could play Get Outta My Dreams, Get in to My Car by Billy Ocean. So go ahead.

My request was for Everly Brothers "All I Have to Do is Dream".

There are many GREAT dream songs:

"Dreams" - Cranberries
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" - Cass Elliot
"Sh-boom(Life Could be a Dream)" - Crew Cuts

"Dreaming Tree"- The band whose name isn't spoken on The Current.

Hello Tomorrow (adidas Version) / Karen O. & Squeak E. Clean

This song was made for the adidas commercial by spike jonze that i think is one of the best visual dream sequences that i've ever seen and inspired my senior thesis graphic design project that was a book documenting a year of dreams visually. If interested there are examples in the portfolio section of my site JonHayward.com

But the song and video are great.

Aw crud, now I have "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" stuck in my head and I didn't even hear the song. Oh the power of suggestion.

Too late- but does anyone remember "In a Daydream" from the Freddy Jones Band? It even starts out with the lyrics "Tuesday morning never looked so good... I'm already in a daydream.." Killer tune!
