:smack:

If you’re willing to accept oldies, there’s the wartime favorite “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning,” by Irving Berlin.

“Bed Bed Bed”, TMBG

Farewell and Goodnight - Smashing Pumpkins

And I’d always thought of Luna as a lullabye, but maybe not. I don’t see anything about sleep in it.

Luna?

I’m not sure if you’re questioning what Luna is or my idea that it was a lullabye - so just in case:

  1. by Smashing Pumpkins :smiley:
  2. I know, I know, I just always thought it was so pretty! I was very young when I got the CD and not really paying atention to the lyrics. It was my lullabye :wink:

“In Dreams,” Weezer

Sleep Long, Sleep Well, by Operation Ivy
Slumber, Bad Religion

No, just I often don’t know what songs are called. When I think Luna, it’s a song called Hijo De La Luna (translates: Son of the Moon?) which is pretty, but definitely not about sleep. From the lyrics to the Smashing Pumpkins song it could be a lullaby, but it doesn’t mention sleep, just singing to babies.

“Overkill” - Men at Work…or is that just Colin Hay?

“Golden Slumbers” and “Good Night” by The Beatles
