Go to Bed is a song by Joe Hawley. The song begins with a simple melody but often branches off and then again returns to it's "roots", if you will. Much of the song uses parts from the pre-Tally Hall song Break It Down, performed by Joe's 2003 comedy troupe anonyMous and later Tally Hall in 2006.
A version of Go to Bed titled 'Minimall Karaoke Edition' was uploaded to Joe Hawley's YouTube on January 29th, 2018.[1] And on the same day, a video of the "Wonka Vox" was also uploaded[2]
Trivia
- Go to Bed is partly sung by the band Minimall, who were originally a Tally Hall cover band named "Titty Hall".
- The reversed bits at the end of the song include a metalic-sounding voice reading a bit from "Good Night, Moon" and part of a melody from earlier in the song.
- The song samples "Christmas is Coming" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, as well as an unidentified version of Gliding Dance of the Maidens (also known as Stranger In Paradise) by Alexander Borodin.
- In sections of the song part of the beat comes from the Casio Vl-tone’s (a toy keyboard/ calculator from the 80’s) rhythm section. More specifically, the song uses the beat “Rock 1”.
