A New Song About Sheep and Sleep

While trying to find great ideas for nighttime, bedtime, dream time songs I wrote this one morning a month or two ago in the car on the way to a show. "Counting Sheep" is the song. I wasn't going to record at all today, too much to do...but this song seemed simple enough.

I recorded the music using only Apple Garage Band instruments, I recorded most of the song sitting in my recliner in the living room. I used the on board sampler to record my voice saying BAAAaaaa, and re pitched it to sound (hopefully) like a sheep-ish creature.

I let my son hear it and he asked if I went to 100...I said no, the lyrics I wrote only went to 20. He said that was wrong. So I added words and went to infinity...I like the new words. I will add them after the song link.

So tell me my wonderful friends, fans, peeps and peers...like this one? It's a little goofy and short. http://snd.sc/AfQh4Y

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven more

Eight, nine, ten, eleven
Twelve, thirteen up to heaven

Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen more
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen soar

Twenty, thirty, forty…plump
Fifty, one hundred watch them jump

One thousand, one million, one billion…beyond
A trillion, gazillion, infinity …who yawned?

Too tired run, hop,  jump  or leap
Goodnight pillow, goodnight sheep
