anybody notice...? episode of Medium..the one dated November 28, 2005 repeated tonight on NBC...Alison gets involved with a woman haunted by the spirit of a teenager killed in a hit and run...listen to the song played on her radio over and over again...surprise!!! it's the Bing Crosby song; "Have you ever seen a dream walking?"!!! SOMEBODY on the Medium writing team has a long memory...
shareya i saw that one the other night also made me think of this movie and now i have to hunt it down :)
This song has always been in my head since this movie. I know it was composed for movies originally, but does anyone know how to get the lyrics and or the music separate of the movies?
shareHere you go;
Did you ever see a dream walking?
Well, I did!
Did you ever hear a dream talking?
Well, I did!
Did you ever have a dream thrill you
with "Will you be mine?"
Oh it's so grand
and it's too, too divine.
Did you ever see a dream dancing?
Well, I did!
Did you ever see a dream romancing?
Well, I did!
Did you ever find heaven right in your arms,
saying I love you, I do?
Well, the dream that was walkin'
and the dream that was talkin'
and the heaven in my arms was you
Oh, my word! That's exactly why I'm here, too!
shareThe creepiest thing about this movie is the only thing I remember about it was the song and when the little girl appears to the little boy, becuase I saw it years ago when I was younger, but the song haunted me until I saw The Green Mile and I just sat up and thought, "There's that song!!" Yeah I have no life
Hey...don't feel bad - THE creepiest part for ME, with this movie AND this song, is the way the little girl hauntingly sings the song at the very end of the credits to the same movie "Lady In White"......*shiver*
And by the way....What is it with the fact that ANY song can sound creepy....if a child sings it.....DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND THAT TO BE TRUE - BESIDES ME...?
Example: - Samara humming 'that song' throughout the entire time in "THE RING".
- THE CREEPY TUNE in the movie "THE AMITYVILLE HORROR" (original/remake)
- A WHOLE CHOIR OF CREEPY KIDS singing the theme to "POLTERGEIST" and then - as if that weren't scary enough - LAUGHING AND GIGGLING at the end credits.....CREEPY - although, in my opinion, one of THE BEST themes there is.
Oh....and FYI - didja guys know that the song "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" was ALSO picked as Freddy Krueger's UNOFFICIAL theme for the first installment of the "NIGHTMARE..." series...? ....check it out - it plays at the end credits of the movie........MAN, I GOTTA GET ME A LIFE... LOL!
Where the fffffb**p is the bleedin' LIKE buttons when ya need 'em?
You're our savier 'n' salvation @kryptonsboy (=
If you want to see it used in a much lighter fashion, check out the old black-and-white Popeye cartoon, "A Dream Walking."
shareI first heard the song in a music and dance recital in the mid-1950s when I was about seven years old. I knew the song was one Bing Crosby had made famous, and it did not seem creepy to me. However, in this film the lyrics pertain to the ghost the little boy sees, and it would have a creepy connotation.
