Dream soundtrack

Dream setting: The opening of a new library for an under-privileged elementary school.

Soundtrack: "Oh Yeah" by The Cliks

My immediate family was involved in the final efforts to get the library open. Corporate sponsorship or something. The fifth graders were all excited to be there because they had projects due and needed the resources.

One kid was asking if my father would be back on Monday to help him learn the computers, but I thought we'd be gone by then. Drive-by philanthropy, as it were. But then my Dad said that he would be there.

Some old male principal/school board type was talking to another student when a female cop approached the boy with news about his mother. The old bureaucrat kept on talking, but the two ignored him.

The cop had an x-ray of the boy's mother's skull and was explaining the marks to him. The mother had been attacked, but was going to be all right. I could see the fracture across her cheek and how the break shifted where she had tried to block the blow.

Then the soundtrack swelled into prominence with the boy even singing, "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah," and "He's not listening, he's not listening..."

Do your dreams have soundtracks? And if so, what do they play?
