I know a guy who could probably use a little more sleep

Earlier tonight at the library, I was so out of it that I actually picked up a copy of the Garfield: The Movie soundtrack.

Well, it isn’t strictly a soundtrack. It’s one of those “music from and inspired by the motion picture” collections. That’s actually why I picked it up in the first place.

You see, I can totally buy into the “music from” part of the proposition. That part of the deal makes perfect sense. It’s the “inspired by” part that called for further investigation. Call me a snob, but I don’t really picture the Garfield movie inspiring a whole lot of music.

I mean, Ben Folds Five had that song with that “give me my money back” chorus. That does seem like the sort of sentiment that the Garfield movie might inspire. But it was written nearly ten years before the movie came out, so that puts us back to square one.
