    I need suggestions for my second tunal mantra. The first one is the Beatles "Across the Universe," which I sing to myself at night to help myself sleep. It works: it puts me in a very receptive-to-sleep mood and I drop right off. Consequently, I'm at the almost-narcoleptic mercy of the radio in the car and at work -- when I hear it, I start to get really drowsy, especially if I start singing along in my head. What I need is a song I can use to mellow myself out at work that is NOT associated with bedtime. Please offer suggestions...it doesn't have to be an energetic song, in fact Camper Van Beethoven's "Good Guys and Bad Guys" worked for a while.
    Anyhoo, please suggest.

    "Oh, Canada" always works for me.

    by the way, cd now fucked up the track list. the sound sample for "can you get to that" is listed under "hit it or quit it"...

    anyway, here it is

    um..."Oh Canada?"

    Swine, I'll try and track it down (my parliament/funkadelic discology was swiped by an ex-housemate in 1994).

    Still taking suggestions.

    Anything that puts people in that "happy place."

    Blue Rodeo's "Flying" is good...it's peppy, but not hyper. The guy who does the singing (whatsisname) has that kinda of quiet mellowISH voice that feels like warm milk, without making you sleepy.

    "Neon Blue" from the Holly Cole Trio is kinda relaxing in a dark street kinda way, too.

    Have you ever heard of "dueSouth"? I love listening to their first soundtrack album when I need to think straight, because it's the kind of music you can zone out on if you have an important thought, and still enjoy when you have the time. Both of those songs are on this album.

    Holly Cole did an entire album of Waits songs called Temptations which I will be purchasing tomorrow. Standby for an update.
