"Mr. Sandman" (or "Mister Sandman") is a
#popularSong written by
#PatBallard and published in 1954. It was first recorded in May of that year by
#VaughnMonroe and his
#orchestra and later that year by
#TheChordettes and
#theFourAces. The song's lyrics convey a request to "#MrSandman" to "bring me a dream" β the traditional association of the
#folkloric figure (but in this context the meaning of dream is more akin to '#dreamboat').
