37. "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman
John Waite's post-break up response to missing his lost love was to wrap himself up tight in a thick blanket of denial. But Dan Hartman takes that same blanket and uses it to cover himself while he takes a nice long nap on the couch.
And what does Dan dream about? Tending bar for white people while watching a video of black people singing his song.
The opening bass line of this song was the musical inspiration to my post-break up song "So Belch"--the only song I know that features an extended belch solo. Of course, there's some mighty good belching in Weird Al songs. However, Weird Al never really explored the musical possibilities of the belch. He just used it as a type of comic punctuation. But I went far beyond that to explore the full range of the belch as a musical instrument.
That's right. I'm the Kenny G of belching!
Braaaaaaach!
(Nice belch.)
(THANKS!)
