Am I The Only One Who Likes To Pretend To Be Sleeping When Listening To Bloodhound Gang’s “Asleep at the Wheel?”

Am I the only one who likes to pretend to be sleeping when listening to “Asleep at the Wheel” by Bloodhound Gang? I know it’s a little odd, but it’s kind of fun. Given how rare it is to find anything actually original, I bet I’m not the only one.


The chorus in the song regularly screams:


Get up you’re asleep at the wheel!


Get up you’re asleep at the wheel!


Get up you’re asleep at the wheel!


To me, this seems like a perfect time to imagine oneself sleeping and dreaming that one needs to wake up. I imagine that I’ve fallen asleep while driving and my brain is playing a relevant dream in order to try to wake me up. Emergency.


Frankly, it’s not that great of a song. It’s a little catchy, but that’s about it. It just seems amusing to make it seem like an oddly appropriate dream experience as opposed to just a mildly pleasant song.


Of course, I always imagine myself actually waking up in time to avoid any kind of a crash. I’m not a monster.
