I've been looking for ages... well, oh... 30 minutes... Not exactly Holy Grail-type epic journey, but I think I've found it.
The theme tune for us, Insomniacs Everywhere.
Eels: I Need Some Sleep

Dave Gilmour mkes a very good job of singing it, but for me you can't beat Dick Van Dyke

As for Eels, I totally agree
xxxxxxx
deana24
You are absolutely right. I got dazzled by the string section in the Dave Gilmour version. That version is just beautiful.
Austin-Lance
Yes it is
To be honest, I wouldn't dare sing a lullaby in any of my shows.....I'd worry about send my audience to sleep

"Your shows? What shows?" said the curious cat. 
Austin-Lance
I play the organ and I also sing (mostly Karaoke at the moment)
Usksider
Pro How about Graham Nash, Sleep Song
Or...
Usksider
Pro Hmmmm..... well that didn't work did it? Bugger!
deana24
I don't know it - I might create an Insomnia Top Ten though - something else to distract myself with... tut!
Usksider
Pro There are loads of 'sleep' songs... better make it a Top One Hundred!
deana24
Now I don't need that much distracting! I've still got the lyrics for Modern Life is Rubbish to compile yet!
Usksider
Pro I thought you must've been well on the way with that by now... you're obviously slacking... 
deana24
Here you go...
Bit of stuff before hand, but here it is live at the great Manchester Apollo, with Travis, of all people...

see what you think. It kicks in about 2mins
Usksider
Pro I can't get to that.... YouTube just isn't playing at all... 
soyunperdedor
Pro Ah, dammit, now that I've watched that I'm so dang sleepy I'm going to have to go //back// to bed!
deana24
I'm just back from a run - nothing like being hailed on to wake you up!
did you know there are more than 400 escalators on the london underground.
that should help you sleep tonight!
deana24
And she's.. running, and she's running... and she's out.. yup.. that could do it!

Our anthem Deana ?
Waves lighter over head trilling softly, and dangerously close to hubby's geetar....
'Oh sorry darling...I don't know how that happened !'
deana24
I don't think Burning Down the House: Talking Heads is quite going to make the top 10, no. Maybe just swaying gently would be safer... can I smell smouldering wood?
