Mr Sandman

My favorite scene in the movie Back to the Future is when Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) hesitatingly entered into the Hill Valley town square and the soundtrack Mr. Sandman bring me a dream (bung bung bung bung) suddenly played.

Marty wasn't sure if he was just dreaming or if he was really back in time. The first sight that caught his attention was the gas station where uniformed gas attendants milled around a car - pumping gas and wiping clean its windshield.

And the moviehouse marquee displayed the Cattle Queen of Montana, starring Ronald Reagan and Barbara Stanwyck.

That scene was magical. Marty was stepping into an unknown and it showed on his face. And what could be more 1950's than the song Mr. Sandman, sung in the movie by the Four Aces.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream...was originally recorded by the female group, Chordettes, and became a #1 hit single on the Billboard United States charts and #11 on the United Kingdom charts in 1954. In November, 1954, The Four Aces released a version that charted even higher in the UK.

The theme song of the Back to the Future, however, is the Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News.

Memorable line from the film, " Where we're going, we don't need roads."
