A few months ago I heard this great song on the readio while I was having a cup of coffee with my father. I asked him if he knew the artist/songtitle but he couldn't remember either of them. He told me though that it was a remake of an old song from the 60's. I do remember a passage from the chorus which goes like this:

"I've been sleeping in the flowers
for a couple of hours
On a beautiful day"

it was kind of a slow popsong but with a twist of rock/funk... does anyone know this song?

Google says the band could be"They Might be Giants"?

I got a crush
Copy shop clerk
But she won't look up at me
Don't want to be known as the freak
Who just comes around to catch her eye

We could be sleeping in the flowers
We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that you're an island
I'd proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor
With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England
You declare that I have drowned

I got a ride
Home with a drunk guy
How ungrateful I must have seemed
He showed me how
To spin my head round and round

We could be sleeping in the flowers
We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that you're an island
I'd proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor
With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England
You declare that I have drowned

We could be sleeping in the flowers
We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that you're an island
I'd proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor
With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England
You declare that I have drowned

We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss that I've been fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss that I've been fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss I'm fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss I'm fired

Try "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster, might be what you are looking for. It's sampled from Gunther Kallman Choir's "Daydream", so if it's not the song you are looking for look for samples or remixes of that.

THAT'S THE ONE!! You have no idea how it's been bothering me not having it in my collection of songs so I'm gonna put this baby on repeat ALL DAY! *insane laughter* thanks bigbad I owe you one!
