#2 on SoundClick.com's Alternative Emo & #2 on Latin Bossa Nova Charts. Take an overworked trucker, a samba beat and throw in a bit of the "twilight zone," and you're in for an unnatural surprise; and you'll remember to get your sleep.

Excellent highly ranked original songs, in 79 different genre simultaneously. Two guys sound like 4 - only live, with no editing; real music like you've not he
Hey, thanks for checking out Rock On Songs(tm); the world's most heard "un-band" rock duo! That's right;, we get all of the fun of pretending to be a band (imagined parties, chicks and dope); without any of the muss or fuss (getting arrested, VD & overdoses). With thousands of plays everyday, we get maximum exposure, while getting to bed by 9:00 (a seniors dream come true). Currently with over 12.7 million song plays; we're ripping the competition a new one, and don't even have to pay a rode crew. Here's why we're one-of-a-kind: 1. All songs are played & recorded "live" in one "same take." This means it's real music. We never edit anything, just like a real stage show; so you get the real deal. We're covering 78 different sub-genre simultaneously - that's crazy talk! 2. We have two "special needs" members: Richard "Dick" Butters (my left hand playing fau-bass on a Roland EXR-3) because everyone knows that most bass players drink too much and they only are playing one note anyway; and Brazilian born Ricardo "Sticks" Mandelay (Dr. Rhythm 880 drum machine) which we use as a metronome (unsequenced), because most drummers are always late and usually get all the chicks anyway. Our human members: Bill "burly beef" De Haan (rhythm & lead using an SG & Signature Strat) & Dave "the guy" Van Wormer (keys: Korg Trinity Plus & Roland EXR-3, vocals & composer) drive the boat; turning out tune after tune (influenced by 60's & 70's British & American roots). 3. Our "world famous" News Page: Updated several times each month, we tell you the "truth" others don't have the stones to say - always true, always made up, and always nutty. 4. We may be outside of your home now: look out the window, really. And of course, it's much easier for two guys to get along and get things done rather than four (and since we're an "un-band;" it's totally okay). We're about fun & the music. We have great songs and great lyrics; make sure and go to the full song info pages to check out our lyrics (of course you can't always hear them - this is rock & roll gang!) Everything is free so make sure and "take it with you." We're starting our 6th year here and there's plenty more to come; 130 so far; listen to them all - or you will die someday.

Story behind the song
This reminds you truckers to follow your sleepy rules. Especially in Northern California.
Lyrics
Verse 1: On the road passed Paradise, just east of Skyway road. On 99 at Chico, I stopped to check my load. Was getting dark, my trip so long, but then I saw that sign. "The best night's sleep you'll ever have, on highway 99." Chorus 1: Motel door's propped open, the office empty; the register contained my name, as if signed just by me. It seams that I've been here before, I'm sure that wasn't true. I shouldn't stay the night for sleep, was the only thing I knew. Verse 2: All through the night, I played loud songs; to keep myself awake. More coffee north of Redding; and stopped to check the brakes. And south of Weed what did I read? Yes, it was that sign. "You'll miss that sleep you never had on highway 99." Chorus 2: Well rounding the corner, a chill up my spine; wrapped around the tree was the rig that was mine. I'm guessing tomorrow, I'll do this again; fearing that best night's sleep will just never end.
