Dream Beaver

Many years ago, I had a manager tell me a story that has stayed with me.  It is so silly that it cracks me up everytime I think of it.  We were traveling from St. Cloud, MN to the Twin Cities for a trade show, and were were listening to the radio.  The song "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright comes on, so he tells me this story about some drunk girl at a party that he was at years ago. She thought the song was "Dream Beaver."  I bring this up because during the Super Bowl there was a commercial about beaver that makes it big by fiddling.  I laughed hard at the end of it when the beaver was in the hot tub with the blonde.  So, the real question is: Was the blonde fiddling with her Dream Beaver?
