There is an SF short story by Eric Frank Russell with the title "Into Your Tent I'll Creep." It's relevant to this post. Extraterrestrial aliens come to Earth and find that they can communicate telepathically with the most intelligent species on Earth -- and that species is not humans.

The title is from a song by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, with music by Ted Snyder. It's a jazz standard.

I'm the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep,
Into your tent I'll creep.
