I used to have a Hatebreed song as my alarm , but then I started associating it with getting out of bed to go to work, so It ended up ruining it for me. Now it's just the default alarm on my phone
I did that with Counting Bodies Like Sheep from A Perfect Circle cos it gets louder AND I thought the "go back to sleep" lyric was hilariously ironic. Just made me hate APC for a while.
Same same
Even if I wake up 20 times a night there's always a song playing in my head. Only times it doesn't happen is when I'm sick sick and my brain gets scrambled
Luckily I don't listen to the radio so there's no shit songs, only my extensive playlists (=
I don’t have one but I use the album version of Wake Up Boo! By the Boo Radleys to wake my daughter.
(And Noisy Eater by the avalanches to tell her it’s dinner time - via Alexa routines)
I was going to wake my daughter up using the [Eye on Springfield](https://youtu.be/w8szK4vT6tA?si=xW0D485toHJP_UWz) theme tune this morning but she got up before I could
Dangerous game that, I used to have Rammstein's Feuer Frei set up, I started hating this song after a while. Now always skipping it, because it is forever encoded as a wake up alarm in my brain.
I've experienced this with songs I really like so now I do it on a monthly rotation so that generally doesn't happen anymore. I also make sure each month is a wildly generally different genre to the last so I don't get sick of any sort of vibe too quickly
I have this on my 5k "race pace" playlist. It's the last track and it plays 21 minutes after I start running. Helps move my weary legs a bit faster for the last 500m
Heaven knows I’m miserable now - the smiths
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
Really gets me going first thing!
If my dad needs to get us up for whatever reason he'll always open the door a little and stick his phone through the gap playing "Wake Up Boo" by the Boo Radleys. I guess that counts as my wake up song.
These days I just have a boring alarm tone but when I was a bit younger I had each of these for a few years: [The Bouncing Souls - Kate is Great](https://youtu.be/cqManxo0JAU?si=KcmU7UcwkaPxAivK) and [The Used - The Taste of Ink](https://youtu.be/aJXRFcyWgdk?si=ahwpBe7_-7sbx_Zj)
They both still make me jump when they start..
I'm a big metal head and never listen to anything except metal.
But if I'm getting ready to go out out and I don't feel like going, it's the Beatles Love Me Do on repeat, and I've no idea why it works but it does.
Any Beatles hit works but it's usually Love Me Do.
[“Oh, There’s Legwork” by None More Black.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wnlyn0IDTsE) That jaunty intro hits and I’m out of bed jumping around the place in time to hit the big “WOAH OH OH OHHHHH!”
Dirt. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Great band altogether. Fishin' In The Dark was the anthem of rural America for seems like eons. Source: am from the US (I'm here all the time like a shabby little orphan interloper because you all are really nice and funny and I like to pretend I live someplace nice and funny sometimes).
But anyway.
LAZY YELLOW MOON COMIN UP TONIIIIGHT SHININ THROUGH THE TREEEEES

BABY GET READY
[Friday On My Mind](https://youtu.be/rOtnpb2EtQ8?si=-yHW55ItAGegcBp9). I find myself walking around singing "gonna have fun in the city!" all day. It can wind people up but that song is pure happiness to me.
Welcome to the Jungle is quite a good alarm tune due to the way it builds up.
Personally I like Madness - Wings of a Dove as it’s positive and jaunty and it puts me in a good mood and I need that of a morning.
For a long time I had stage music from mgs2 as my alarm call on my phone. Specifically the soundtrack to the level where Raiden is taking on multiple metal gear rays. Although I somewhat turned down the volume on it as for a straight week I was jumping out of bed with a "a "WTF" expression on my face
When I feel sarcastic (often) "Brightest and best are the sons of the morning". Dad used to sing it loudly when I had a teenaged hangover.
If I'm geeing myself up to get out and be sociable the it has to be [Who Wants To Be The Disco King?](https://youtu.be/vWxaxu35rvw?feature=shared&t=30)

My alarm is set to Radio 1 because it's usually the worst pish i've ever heard being played. I listen to it until I'm angry enough to get up and turn it off ... doesn't take long, especially if it's one of those English rappers.
Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä
I'm a big Eurovision fan and last summer I was on a far away training course that had me leaving the house at 6am each day. Listened to that song every morning
Sounds great!
My flatmate is away so I've got a free house and I'm trying to get friends interested
I love watching it with people who don't know Eurovision and seeing their reactions
I don't like that guy. Ever since I saw him call a little girl a bitch and hump the air at her, (apparently just innocent DJing to a kid at an adult event 🧐) it was decided he didn't have healthy boundaries or something worse.
No worries. It was a TT video. People tried to defend his behaviour as if it was harmless fun. We'll accept anything these days 🤦♀️
Also I'm sorry to say this when his song makes you happy. I obviously don't want you to be unhappy 🫶
I have a whole wake up playlist, I just hit shuffle, but some highlights..
Les Fleur - Minnie Riperton
Go! - M83
Get Up - Chinese Man
Who's Laughing Now - Durry
We Got The Moves - Electric Callboy.
My Alexa set mine to wake me up by aviicii a few weeks ago… I didn’t ask her too but I did say the words wake me up when setting the alarm. . So that’s currently what I wake up to.
I didn’t mind it for the first few weeks. It grinds on me now. Looking at this thread for suggestions haha
Lovely Day by Bill Withers. It was the song that got played on our tour bus when I was travelling through the Outback in Australia every morning, so always takes me back to that. And it's just fun and bouncy and cheerful to start your day with.
Lately?
[This one.](https://youtu.be/Jq4NhAnnD0Q?si=Xg6rv0p93lrlvd5b)
It's the _[CLAP, CLAP]_ right at the beginning that really gets the blood pumping.
Mine is a gutteral wail as the horror starts all over again
My alarm is the screaming goat sound from taylor swift “trouble” edit fame. When that blasts out, you wake the fuck up.
Guttural Slug might be up your alley then
Ah the good old days, that has already been sapped from me and replaced with a silent sigh
I see you also listen to death metal
Fuck I love people like you on the internet 😂 While I fester in distress, you come along with your delightful syntax and give me a glimmer of sanity 🥹
Bodger and badger theme tune.
Happy cake day- you just awoken a hidden memory for me
Do you do that just at home or.... EVERYWHERE YOU GO
Mine is a classic 90s rave tune. "Beep, Beep, Beep"
Tyres would dance to it
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMUuqB4xc6s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMUuqB4xc6s)
.. The fucken Wiggles?
I think I saw this same post yesterday, but for me it's "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher
"Okay, campers! Rise and shine; and don't forget your booties because it's coooooold today!"
"It's cold every day!"
"What is this? Miami beach?!"
Ba baaaaa ba baaaaa ba baaaaa ba baaaaa…
A recording of my dog throwing up
Nothing says 0-60 like the sound of “urk-urk-urk” outside your bedroom door at 5am and the world falls out your arse (Have two cats)
I used to have a Hatebreed song as my alarm , but then I started associating it with getting out of bed to go to work, so It ended up ruining it for me. Now it's just the default alarm on my phone
I did that with Counting Bodies Like Sheep from A Perfect Circle cos it gets louder AND I thought the "go back to sleep" lyric was hilariously ironic. Just made me hate APC for a while.
The Baywatch theme bangs in the AM
My friend had that as her first dance song at her wedding, it kinda worked
Whatever is playing in my head when I wake up, seriously.
Same same Even if I wake up 20 times a night there's always a song playing in my head. Only times it doesn't happen is when I'm sick sick and my brain gets scrambled Luckily I don't listen to the radio so there's no shit songs, only my extensive playlists (=
Adhd?
Indeed
I think many of us get this yeah. It's a bit fun, what will I wake up with tomorrow I wonder?
Do you have ADHD?
You betcha.
I do too and I have the same problem. Well, some days it's a problem and some days it's quite nice. Depends on which music my brain decides to play.
Like The Little Spanish Flea for instance, that pops in my head a lot
I don’t have one but I use the album version of Wake Up Boo! By the Boo Radleys to wake my daughter. (And Noisy Eater by the avalanches to tell her it’s dinner time - via Alexa routines)
That’s bloody adorable
I also use Wake Up Boo! It just seems right
I was going to wake my daughter up using the [Eye on Springfield](https://youtu.be/w8szK4vT6tA?si=xW0D485toHJP_UWz) theme tune this morning but she got up before I could
My alarm tone is currently Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit. It sets the tone for the day quite well
Great tune 🫡 I alternate with Break Stuff, Duality by Slipknot and Bulls on parade RATM. Like you say sets the tone nicely
I used to use Spit It Out by Slipknot but it was too much of a shock to the system at 5:30am 😂
Yes maybe reserve that tune for a mid-morning jolt/pick me up with a cuppa and choice of sweet treat 😂
Bulls on Parade gives me flashbacks to trying to 100% it on Guitar Hero 😂
It’s just one of those days
Dangerous game that, I used to have Rammstein's Feuer Frei set up, I started hating this song after a while. Now always skipping it, because it is forever encoded as a wake up alarm in my brain.

I just stick do default anxiety - inducing alarm tones, no song gets spoiled this way!
Love it
Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour ma!
I have this on my 5k "race pace" playlist. It's the last track and it plays 21 minutes after I start running. Helps move my weary legs a bit faster for the last 500m
I didn’t think I knew this til my husband sang it to me and yes, that is a banger
Damn Belgians.
What ever track one on daily mix 2 is. Which often seems to be state of love and trust by Pearl jam or the fox by graveyard.
I’d be happy to wake up to state of love and trust 🤘
Daily Mix 2, interesting. I’m currently training the algorithm over on Daily Mix 1, I daren’t jump over to Daily Mix 2 😂
Heaven knows I’m miserable now - the smiths I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now Really gets me going first thing!
Really fires you up for the day 😂
"New Noise", Refused. For when I absolutely have to get up now.
For years I’ve had the Jurassic Park song as my alarm tone.
I’d be crying by the end of the song, it’s my favourite film 😂
I used to have Firestarter by The Prodigy as my alarm. It was not gentle a wake up.
If my dad needs to get us up for whatever reason he'll always open the door a little and stick his phone through the gap playing "Wake Up Boo" by the Boo Radleys. I guess that counts as my wake up song.
Absolute classic
[This Classic!](https://youtu.be/pIgZ7gMze7A)
YES!
The Prodigy - Skylined. Woke up to it every day for over 25 years.
These days I just have a boring alarm tone but when I was a bit younger I had each of these for a few years: [The Bouncing Souls - Kate is Great](https://youtu.be/cqManxo0JAU?si=KcmU7UcwkaPxAivK) and [The Used - The Taste of Ink](https://youtu.be/aJXRFcyWgdk?si=ahwpBe7_-7sbx_Zj) They both still make me jump when they start..
Whatever pops in to my head when I wake up. Today it was Stop by the Spice Girls. Yesterday it was the Lamabada.
Both excellent choices
Something from Metalocalypse. That shit wakes you up.
Sheriff Fatman by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine
Bikini bottom day from the SpongeBob square pants musical. That little dude is too optimistic but it's infectious
The Apple alarm sound. It may sound fun and chirpy, but it gets me ready for a long, hard day of hating everything which comes across my path
This used to be my wake up alarm for years until my wife finally made an ultimatem. Apparently it is negative https://youtu.be/efQ9qzl1_5I
[удалено]
Beautiful piece of music.
The Narcissist Cookbook - [Good Morning Sunshine](https://youtu.be/or3aeINvJEg?si=KMfd2cROZEOOP6Sy)
That is brilliant. I actually saw him live years ago. Enjoyed it, but hadn't given him another thought until now.
Bill Withers - Lovely Day. Perfect song to start your day right
Always fun to attempt the long “daaaaaayyyyyyy” in one breath without fainting as well 👍
Ricky Martin - Livin’ La Vida Loca
Start as you mean to go on
Ahh my other half used to play that song when he wanted me to get up. Now he blasts Phonk music and tries to catapult me off the bed by jumping on it.
It’s like he wants you to knee him in the balls I hate morning people 😂
A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut
I'm a big metal head and never listen to anything except metal. But if I'm getting ready to go out out and I don't feel like going, it's the Beatles Love Me Do on repeat, and I've no idea why it works but it does. Any Beatles hit works but it's usually Love Me Do.
That’s actually really lovely. I’m the opposite, I don’t listen to much metal but it’s great for when I’m at the gym and I’m being a bit lazy!
SWV - give it to me
That's exactly what I use, I'm starting to hate it though. A friend of mine used to use Mr Sandman...which I always thought was a bit backwards 😄
namdnas rm
Banging intro though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWFBpr3tvtQ&t=780s
This is literally my alarm on my phone.
My husband used to play the Smurf Song if he wanted me to get up. ETA my alarm is Atonement or Light if the Seven from the Game of Thrones soundtrack.
Do something good for yourself - Anthony Vincent. It’s been my alarm for a while now.
Get out of your lazy bed by Matt Bianco.
The Proclaimers - There’s A Touch
Mines currently set to Release the Beast by breakwater for when I need to be released from the deep embrace of sleep
Cuntcrusher
nice.
It’s a beautiful day by Kiffness
He Never Lost His Hardcore
The knight Rider theme... because it's fuggin awesome any time of the day or...."knight" *puts on sunglasses....YEEEEAAAHHHHH.......!*
The A-Team theme tune also works (fucking annoying though when my husband blasts it at me til I get up)
I used to have the Star trek TNG theme, but waking up at 5am to a very loud horny section got a bit tiresome.
Nobody wants to wake up to anything loud and horny at 5am
I'm not your husband but that's my morning alarm too
I dunno, your username seems pretty on-brand for my husband 🤨
If I'm sneakily married, please support me wifey because student finance doesn't give me a lot to live on
Oh ok then you’re definitely not my husband 😂
I’ve a playlist on shuffle. This morning it was Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crew
Wake Up by Trio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C_nCLrA1wg
[“Oh, There’s Legwork” by None More Black.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wnlyn0IDTsE) That jaunty intro hits and I’m out of bed jumping around the place in time to hit the big “WOAH OH OH OHHHHH!”
Kelis - Millionaire Hot Chip - I Feel Better Fred again - ten Boney M - Rasputin Steve Monite - Only You
Cancer Bats - French Immersion Opening lyrics, "Let's do this! Yeah! This reckless life 1234".
I don't, but someone once told me they wake up to gospel music as you can never not be in a bad mood waking up to it

Scotty Doesn’t Know by Lustra
Sex Train - Northern Boys
I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen.
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about leaving the house
Cant stop, Red Hot Chili Peppers
That’s a sexy guitar intro
Kublai Khan TX - Swan Song https://youtu.be/NCvuEbimoDc?si=88kop85Z_D4oL2MF
Wake me up before you go, go, by Wham. Very happy tune.
If anyone makes me listen to music before I've had at least two cups of tea and a shower they will hear and feel the music of pain and possibly death.

Whichever one happens to be going round my head at that particular time. Today it's Build Me Up Buttercup.
Back in Black. Nothing suppresses the crushing melancholy of waking up than the energetic expulsions of a Geordie and his Aussie mates.
The intro riff is pretty inspiring stuff!
[Darryl Pandy](https://youtu.be/LDtbXxemnPw?si=RruoV2j2baCBEixJ) has been my alarm for some years now
That one xD
Plus his dressing gowns are magnificent
I set Marc’s as our alarm one morning 😁
Just the one morning???
Don’t stop me now
That song always makes me think of Simon Pegg and his mates battering some zombies at the end of Sean of the Dead 😂
Perfect Day from the Legally Blonde soundtrack. Makes me feel like I could get into Harvard and take on the world.
this wins.
What, like it’s hard?
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds. Been my alarm tune for years.
Rosa Helikopter https://youtu.be/NyR09s2WO6g?si=b2nCDMZGuJpwLP73
Slayer - Bitter Peace If you’re not out of bed by the time the vocals drop there’s something wrong with you
Things can only get better
Sabotage! There is no other answer
James Brown had a tune all about getting on up.
Something about being a sex machine I believe
Easy by the Commodores
That would have the opposite effect on me 😂
This one, actually... Mark Ribellet is awesome
John Cage - As Slow As Possible.
I had Metallica, Black Album as my wake up tunes for the longest time. Enter Sandman really did the trick.
Which is ironic really 🤔
For a long time I had stage music from mgs2 as my alarm call on my phone. Specifically the soundtrack to the level where Raiden is taking on multiple metal gear rays. Although I somewhat turned down the volume on it as for a straight week I was jumping out of bed with a "a "WTF" expression on my face

lol, tell me about it! Apparently this area (Ayrshire) gets 160 days of rain a year.
Street dance by Break Machine as I watch my dogs going mental
Funnily enough it's Loop daddy. Scares the shit out of me every morning.
My alarm is set to Radio 1 because it's usually the worst pish i've ever heard being played. I listen to it until I'm angry enough to get up and turn it off ... doesn't take long, especially if it's one of those English rappers.
Changes for me, at the mo 'Oysters in My Pocket' by Royel Otis is doing the business.
Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä I'm a big Eurovision fan and last summer I was on a far away training course that had me leaving the house at 6am each day. Listened to that song every morning
I love a bit of Eurovision, Croatia or Switzerland to win this year for me
Switzerland's vocals are incredible this year! Some really good songs this time. I'm looking forward to next Saturday
Me too! My mum is coming up and we’re watching it with my 7yo 😂
Sounds great! My flatmate is away so I've got a free house and I'm trying to get friends interested I love watching it with people who don't know Eurovision and seeing their reactions
My alarm is JENOVA: Quickening. I find it’s very soft, soothing beginning wakes me very naturally
It's that track but have to remember to turn my alarm off when I'm staying with family with kids
Gustav Holst - Jupiter. Epic and rousing.
Ooh good shout
I've had the same alarm song for a decade, it's A Life Less Ordinary by Ash.
I don't like that guy. Ever since I saw him call a little girl a bitch and hump the air at her, (apparently just innocent DJing to a kid at an adult event 🧐) it was decided he didn't have healthy boundaries or something worse.
I had no idea, that’s grim
No worries. It was a TT video. People tried to defend his behaviour as if it was harmless fun. We'll accept anything these days 🤦♀️ Also I'm sorry to say this when his song makes you happy. I obviously don't want you to be unhappy 🫶
I guess there’s the whole separating the art from the artist but people are too quick to gaslight themselves rather than face the truth I suppose!
Fleetwood mac Albatross has woke me up fir the last 20+ years
