alarm songs: what's good to wake you up in the morning?

[grittykitty]

so now that i finally have a cellphone that can use mp3s as ringtones, i'm thinking of the best songs to wake up to in the morning. since i usually prefer only parts of songs, let's go with the best part and not the whole song. it'd be nice to have a different one for each day of the week

i'm a light sleeper, so i imagine i would want something kind of cheerful to wake me up. two current candidates for that are:

wham - wake me up before you go-go (from 0:36 to about 1:00)
4 non-blondes - what's up (from 1:15 to 1:58)
QN from simi lab feat. maria - wake up (from 2:27 to 3:00)

what would yours be?

The theme of the original Superman movie

I just use a default ring tone.
It gets to whenever I hear it on someone elses phone for a phone call I cringe.


If you really want to torture your self just put Navi saying "HEY LISTEN" on a loop.

[Niode]

Never fails.

[Luke]

Never fails.

Christ. I'd probably wake up and choke my wife out if that woke me up.


I wake up to a classical music station that isn't properly tuned in, so it's a mix of strings and loud static. Gets my ass out of bed in a hurry.

And if you have the time to think about what "part of a song" you want to wake up to, you probably have time to sleep in.

Funky enough to get me outta bed.

So no sonar blips and dive alarm like the beginning of Dazzle Ships eh? I have the dive alarm as my ring tone. Another co-worker had an air raid siren so it sometimes sounded like WWII in our corner of the office.

Orbital - Halcyon perhaps?

Shingo Mama no Oha Rock? It would be appropriate.

[grittykitty]

damn, that sounds like a rude awakening!

If you really want to torture your self just put Navi saying "HEY LISTEN" on a loop.

ha, i'd probably smash my phone with the megaton hammer and go back to sleep!

that one's pretty panicky! now i can't stop bouncing my right leg

this one is great! i can't believe i never heard this one before!

So no sonar blips and dive alarm like the beginning of Dazzle Ships eh?

nah, those blips are just freaky. the rest of the song might be good... for the afternoon
the orbital song... might have to try the intro but it seems more like a "wake up from an afternoon nap" type song for me personally, heh...
shingo mama no oha rock sounds like a good one! hell, the lyrics are perfect too (my first class tuesday and thursday mornings is japanese, so this would be great on those days!)
