"Sleep Walk" is an instrumental steel guitar-based song written, recorded, and released in 1959 by brothers Santo & Johnny Farina. (The BMI Repertoire database and the original release credits three Farinas as composers including sister Ann.)
It was recorded at Trinity Music in Manhattan, New York City, New York. "Sleep Walk" entered Billboard's Top 40 on August 17, 1959. It rose to the number-one position for two weeks in September (the 21st and the 28th)
and remained in the Top 40 until November 9. "Sleep Walk" also reached number four on the R&B chart. It was the last instrumental to hit number one in the 1950s and earned Santo & Johnny a gold record. In the UK it peaked at number 22 on the charts. The Brian Setzer Orchestra recording of "Sleep Walk" received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance of 1998.
Cover versions
One of the first covers was by Betsy Brye (stage name of Bette Anne Steele), also in 1959. It was released on a single by Columbia Records as catalog number DB 4530. Although Santo & Johnny wrote lyrics for "Sleep Walk", they never recorded a version with the lyrics; Brye's version includes these lyrics.
"Sleepwalk" is Ultravox's first single from their fourth album, Vienna, and their first with Midge Ure as frontman. It was Ultravox's first UK Top 30 chart hit, hitting the lofty heights of Number 29. As well as the standard black vinyl, the 7 Inch was released as a limited clear vinyl.
The single's B-side, "Waiting" is a more solemn, bass-laden affair in comparison to the faster synth work of the A-side. It now appears on the CD re-issue of Vienna as a bonus track, as well as various other Ultravox compilations.
The 12" release does not contain an extended version of the song, or a third/additional song, in fact it is simply a double A-sided promo single, with only "Sleepwalk" on each side. The sound quality however is rumoured to better and the sleeve apparently features a difference picture.
Track listing
"Sleepwalk" – 3:10
"Waiting" – 3:51
A drum and bass cover version by Steve Haw appears as the second track on the "Infamy! Infamy!" single, released in 2012 on the Wokka Chokka Chum! label.
Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show. August 01, 1959. A bit of a shakey kinesope.

SLEEPWALK || Fan made Rain World AU Animatic
Edit: Since so many of you are asking, yes, you can make fanart/animations/whatever or use Rotpocalypse for inspiration! As long as credit is given, I do not mind :)
Ayyyy I'm back! And with something for Halloween! Rotpocalypse is an idea I've had for a few months now, because why not have a zombie apocalypse themed AU for Rain World?
Anyways, happy (early) Halloween!

He works, he sleeps He knows his history He reads, he dreams So much ability He drives Northwest Up the interstate The snow falls slow Hypnotic and opaque Bright with life, He leaves behind Endless days And longer nights His eyes are wide, His ears are numb Filled with pulsating Engine hum Don't rush by unseeing Through the places And the pleasures of the ride (Take it all in) Don't skim through the pages Of the ponderous volume That describes your life (Don't miss a word) Some seek distraction Just to pass the time, Not entertain We sometimes sleepwalk Sacrificing joy to numb the pain I saw the scene I didn't want to see Steel, glass, debris Stranger, rest in peace How could he know When he awoke That this was the day His book would close? Have you thrived Or just survived If this were the day You said goodbye? Don't rush by unseeing Through the places And the pleasures of the ride (Take it all in) Don't skim through the pages Of the ponderous volume That describes your life (Don't miss a word) Some seek distraction Just to pass the time, Not entertain We sometimes sleepwalk Sacrificing joy to numb the pain We sometimes sleepwalk
