About This Song
About "Mister Sandman" by Anita O'day
A lullaby turned playful, O'Day's 'Mister Sandman' is all twinkle and mischief. The vocal bounces over a jaunty rhythm, summoning dreams with a wink rather than a whisper. There's an undercurrent of restlessness beneath the sweetness—a plea for sleep that sounds like a party invitation.
