"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" – the traditional association of the #folkloric figure (but in this context the meaning of dream is more akin to '#dreamboat').
