Pleasant Dreams is the sixth studio album by the American punk rock band the Ramones released on July 20, 1981, through Sire Records. While the band members wanted Steve Lillywhite to produce, Sire chose Graham Gouldman in an attempt to gain popularity through a well-known recording manager. The recording process brought about many conflicts between band members, most notably the strife between Joey Ramone and Johnny Ramone, where Johnny began dating one of Joey's ex-girlfriends. There were also disputes about the overall genre of the album, with Johnny leaning towards hard rock and Joey towards pop music. Ultimately, the album incorporated a high production value and a variation of tone throughout the album. Pleasant Dreams featured songs such as "We Want the Airwaves," "She's a Sensation," and "Come On Now," strayed from traditional punk rock and took on different styles.
The album was not commercially acclaimed, which came as a surprise to Sire since they had insisted the band record with Gouldman in an effort to increase fan-base; it peaked at number fifty-eight on the Billboard 200 and only charted outside of the US in Sweden. The album was not critically acclaimed either, as it received several mixed articles by reviewers, who insisted the album to be less playable than their first four albums.
Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses"). In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form include the production of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."
The Billboard Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for singles, published weekly by Billboard magazine. Chart rankings are based on radio play, online streaming, and sales (physical and digital).
The weekly sales period was originally Monday to Sunday when Nielsen started tracking sales in 1991, but since July 2015, this has been changed from Friday to Thursday. Radio airplay, which unlike sales figures and streaming data, is readily available on a real-time basis and is tracked on a Monday to Sunday cycle (it was previously Wednesday to Tuesday). A new chart is compiled and officially released to the public by Billboard on Tuesdays. Example:

Vuelven PLEASANT DREAMS, y lo hacen emprendiendo un viaje muy personal. Donde los míticos Family ponían rumbo al norte, persiguiendo sus sueño polares, los de la Plana Baixa lo hacen Hacia Los Bosques del Sur, título de su nuevo disco y metáfora perfecta de este paso adelante en la carrera de un grupo dispuesto a asentarse como una de las bandas de referencia del panorama patrio. "Próxima Parada" es la canción que abre el disco. Videoclip dirigido por Marc Martí.
Charted at #64 on Billboard Hot 100 in December 1959. One of the best singles of 1959, with lush orchestration and a perfect song for Ray. "Goodnight My Love" had been a #7 Billboard R&B; hit for Jesse Belvin, and #32 Pop for the McGuire Sisters in 1956/1957. The Fleetwoods revived it in 1964 managing to chart again at #32 on the Hot 100 and #12 Adult Contemporary, while Ben E. King edged slightly into the Hot 100 at #91 with another remake in 1966. The Happenings had mid-chart success (at #51 Hot 100) later in 1966/1967, while Paul Anka had a comeback hit with his version in 1969 (charting at #27 Hot 100 and #2 Adult Contemporary). Finally, the Tavares charted at #14 R&B; with yet another remake in 1977. Written by George Motola and John S. Marascalco. B-side is "Till Then" which I've a...

He was enthralled, and so inspired that he purchased a small harp. It was a delightful challenge for him to use his knowledge as an electrician in amplifying the instrument and his custom amplification was superb.

I do not own any rights to this movie or Disney. I own nothing.
Bedtime story to help you release tension of the day, relax well and sleep much better. Keep the volume low, still enough to understand and listen clearly. For better results play this in full screen mode, switch off all other lights in the room and sleep in such a way that the light of your screen falls on your closed eyes. You are likely to experience the best relaxation by this way.
From the television show, "The Simpsons" ... this is a clip from season 04, episode 07 called "Marge Gets A Job". For some reason this bit always makes me laugh as Smithers does his best Evil Sidekick impression while kidnapping Tom Jones for Mr. Burns.

There's no, no kicks to try
Another holiday
I wonder why
There's no, no kicks to try
I got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time
When the folks aren't around
It's safe to turn the stereo down
There's no, no rules to break
Sit here in my room and I cry
Another Holiday
I wonder why
I got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time
Met some guy who spat on me
It's the same every week
There's nothing new to try
Another Holiday
I wonder why
There's nothing new to try
Got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time
Everything's really banged up
Everyday's like the last one
There's no, no kicks to try
Another holiday, I wonder why
There's no, no kicks to try
Another holiday, I wonder why
