ok, not really - i wasn't even asleep yet.
i had just closed my eyes
when suddenly
a sassy euro-techno beat popped into my head.
it was catchy!
it was awesome!!...
made me want to do a little dance!!
however, it was really distracting considering i was trying to relax and drift off into dreamland...
i enjoyed it for a while,
but i started to lose my patience.
"could we please turn on something a little less awesome?" i polietly asked.
my inner DJ wasn't taking requests, apparently.
fine.
so i continued to listen
...but it didn't make any sense.
i couldn't for the life of me figure out
1) WHY my brain was suddenly continuous-looping this particular song
or
2) WHERE on earth i had heard it before!
where have i heard this before?
"goooooooogle!...." something inside me whispered
"what? NO!"
i refused to doom myself to a 2 or 3 am bedtime
by getting up and googling it! absolutely not.
"besides" i thought "i can't google 'sassy euro music'! please! i would need SOMETHING else to go off of. but it doesn't matter, beause i'm going to sleep."
however, sleep was too busy rockin out to do its job.
"stop dancing!" i ordered
no such luck
"turn down the music!" i shouted
complete disregard for authority in this place!!
"you better quit bustin your moves, or i'm gonna come down there and!...no?!"
no response.
"...THAT'S IT! i swear, when i!..."
...but when i stormed down
i saw lasers.
huh?
lasers?
this music...with lasers?
...dancing with lasers?...
weird.
........wait....NO.......dancing....
dancing THROUGH lasers??....
i was so confused.
then i got it.
a heist movie.
security lasers!
so then i tried to think of every heist movie i've ever seen -
but nothing fit.
and my laser-evading hip-hoppin fiend had no help to offer.
"gah! i DON'T need to know this right now! i NEED to get to sleep!"
but he continued to dance.
and the music wouldn't stop
and i still couldn't sleep.
MERCY! i HAD to figure it out!
"you could google it!..." my masked theif of sleep suggested again as he spun on his head and popped back up into a crimp-toe.
"NO!" i firmly commanded while resisting the urge to start a pop-n-lock routine "we are NOT googling anything at this time of night - i would never get to sleep running on such a WILD GOOSE CHASE as a 'security laser dance' search would bring!!" NO WAY!"
"have it your way" he calmly replied - and turned up the music.
needless to say, we fought and danced about it for a rather large portion of the night.
...and after an exhausting night's "sleep"
i blearily woke up and googled my infamous security laser dance music.
and i found it.
CLICK!
that fast.
ON THE FIRST PAGE!
GAH!
...note to self: sometimes listening to your midnight music maurader might be a faster way to end rythmic conflict than sticking to your bedtime.
...and in case you're wondering - it's from Ocean's Twelve -
a movie i only saw once and had never thought of since.
and the song is Thé à la Menthe (which means "Mint Tea" in French!) by La Caution
my brain is awesome. :)

I just knew immediately that was the song! I started playing it in my mind when I first read "sassy euro techno-beat." I love that movie. And most other heist movies ever made. Good movie genre.
You should have just called us. We both knew exactly what song you were talking about. Awesome song. Awesome scene. Awesome movie(s)...yes, it is on our wedding album.
