Thread: Dion McGregor - listen to this guy talk in his sleep!

From Wiki:

Dion McGregor (1922–1994) was a New York City-born songwriter, whose main claim to fame is that he was a voluble dreamer, or somniloquist.

McGregor talked in his sleep. Not in quiet, barely-comprehensible mumbles: while he slept, McGregor would essentially narrate his dreams at conversational volume. As a narrator of his (often terrifying) dreams, Dion adopted various personas but frequently established a fey, argumentative, insolent approach to the subject at hand – be it a hot air balloon trip to the moon with a group of multi-ethnic children, a frantic journey around New York, or a tattooing job on a woman's tongue.

Apparently his roommate recorded some excerpts of Dion talking in his sleep and released them on an album in the 60's. He also released a couple more in the 90's after Dion passed away.

You guys have to listen to some of these - they are hilarious. Here's a myspace page with 4 tracks:

And here's a rhapsody.com page where you can listen to a full album free, if you don't mind downloading the free Rhapsody player (I opted not to):

And finally, there are a few files posted on youtube, some even with homemade animations! Here is my personal favorite, "Food Roulette:"

"Whirl it! SPIN that lazy susan and everyone take what they want off it! Hurry, grab it, we're playing food roulette! Yes, there's a poisoned eclair on there and somebody's gonna get it. Spin it, spin it.... we don't know which one's the poisoned eclair! There's 130 on there!"
