Oh, how about Robbie William's "Millenium" for a Y2K song?
As for dreaming songs, there's "Dream a Little Dream" by someone who's name
I forget. "Keep on Dreaming" by Lisa Marie Experience.

RE #101 The version of "Dream A Little Dream" I remember most was the first
solo release from the late "Mama Cass" Elliott, shortly after the Mamas & the
Papas disbanded in 1967 or 1968.

How about 'What a day for a day dream'? (by...someone. I know Vince
Gill and Kermit sang it together on a muppets album!)

"Dream" songs are a lot easier than "sleep" songs.
Didn't Phil Collins do some sort of asleep-at-the-wheel thing? I've got vague
memories of a song where he runs over a pedestrian and drones on about how
guilty he feels. I think it was him, anyway.

If he wants to feel guilty about something, why can't he pick "Su-Su-Sudio"?

Might there be any songs about money (making, spending, finding, burning...)?
Or other forms of wealth. (Cattle, cacao beans.) Going broke, making a
million, losing one's job, going bankrupt, etc.

Perhaps due to being perpetually short of it, XTC do a lot of songs
about money, e.g. "Paper and Iron," "Earn Enough for Us," "Love on a
Farmboy's Wages," and probably others that I'm forgetting.
The Kinks do some songs about being unemployed. "Situation Vacant"
is the only one that comes immediately to mind.

And there was Motown's very first hit record, "Money (That's What I Want)."

dealing with other forms of wealth, at least in a tongue-in-cheek way..
"My love is the Queen of the Savages,
she don't know the modern world and its ravages..
instead of money she's got yams and cabbages.
She lives in a dome. I don't think I'll ever go home."
("Queen of the Savages", yet another Magnetic Fields gem from "69 Love Songs")

resp:98 Doesn't anyone remember that fabulous tune Billy Joel composed
after hearing it in his sleep? It was a hit-- can't remember the name,
but it was on his 'River of Dreams' album. It sounds very dreamlike to
me..

Re#112: If I'm thinking of the same song you are, I think it's called "River
of Dreams." The one with the verse that starts "In the middle of the night,
I went walking in my sleep..."?

Ok, then it *was* as I figured-- the album bears the name of that song.
btw, I remember it being "I go walking.."

At the library I was reading song titles and spotted one CD with songs about
fried eggs, greasy chicken, and cholesterol. Are there many songs about foods
which are considered unhealthy?

The Irish-American band Open House had a rather silly song about
an Irish farmer, his pig and his cow, cholesterol and exercise...

Songs about foods which are considered unhealthy -- there are those
Chenille Sisters songs about chocolate and butter.

Ooh, good.
This isn't an unhealthy food, but I feel compelled to mention Poignant
Plecostomus's "Potatoes: The Ultimate Whatever," since it's one of my all-time
favorite titles.
