Thanks for all the titles, y’all! There’s just one thing I didn’t think of before, though… the older and more traditional the songs are, the better. It’ll be hard to work in the newer ones. ---

“[Marble Halls](http://www.enya.org/lyrics/sm10.htm)” by Enya Also [“Dreams”](http://www.enya.org/lyrics/fp09.htm) from The Frog Prince score? by C. McGettigan performed by Enya, and [“The Frog Prince”](http://www.enya.org/lyrics/fp08.htm) by Roma Ryan, performed by Enya from the same score. “[I May Not Awaken](http://www.enya.org/lyrics/xs10.htm)” by Roma Ryan, performed by Enya [“The Song of the Sandman”](http://www.enya.org/lyrics/xs12.htm) by Roma Ryan, performed by Enya How about “[Bedtime Story](http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.stuart/music/madonna/bedtimes.html)” by Madonna? Bjork helped write that song. The [video](http://launch.yahoo.com/ar-256352-videos--Madonna) is trippy. If you want a spooky mood, [Marylin Manson’s](http://launch.yahoo.com/ar-256198-videos--Marilyn-Manson) cover of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” Also spooky would be “Lullaby” by The Cure. (Check out the [video](http://launch.yahoo.com/ar-310854-videos--The-Cure), scroll a bit to find it.) Here are the [lyrics.](http://www.lyricscafe.com/c/cure/093.htm) ---

I just found out that “Marble Halls” was [written in the 1800s](http://www.contemplator.com/folkmid.html). Scroll down to the “Unhappy Love, False Love, and Seduction” catagory, and click on “I Dreamt I Walked in Marble Halls”, it seems I can’t link to the correct page on that site directly. ---
