The 1960 Harry Locklin song 'Send me the pillow that you dream on' has been covered by many artists, Such as Johnny Tillotson and Marty Wilde. A Dutch version was recorded by the sisters Hepie & Hepie in the Netherlands. In 1980, their 'Ik lig op m'n kussen stil te dromen' reached number 13 in the Dutch Top 40.In 1989, some people decided to have a bit of fun and remix this song according to contemporary rules. A James Brown sample here, a rhythm track that was popular at the time, and voila: the '89 version of 'Ik lig op m'n kussen stil te dromen' was there. It reached number 9 in the Dutch Top 40 in the summer of 1989.
