Sandman is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released in January 1976 on RCA Victor.

Many people think they recognize one of the main voices in Harry Nilsson's "The Flying Saucer Song" as Joe Cocker.

The gruff background vocals, however, are provided by Joe Cocker, whose coarse delivery is similar to Nilsson's.

"I don't think there's that much of a similarity," Nilsson remarked, "It's just that we both can occasionally muster up a brandy tone.

"The Flying Saucer Song" was written for, and originally recorded, during the Pussy Cats sessions but was not released until Sandman.
