A song to wake up to.

[Aunel]

I wake up to FIght FIre with Fire. (Metallica)
or Chop Suey (System)

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy.

No really, it makes me dream of sharks, which makes me wake up. :/

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

This is a song to wake up to:

Spoiler

I'm going to keep posting it until someone has a mental breakdown or something.

Well, if I had an alarm clock, and one that could play music, I dunno. Probably this, but it would never go off.

 

[Simriel]

Tank! from Cowboy Bebop

 

[rokkolpo]

best way to wake up if you never have hangovers. (which you don't *as you stated in the alcohol thread*)

...stop following me.

i'm not! >_>

*bleep bleep* what do you mean furburt radar,that's my microwave.....burrito anyone?

 

[Dungus]

Barney's mixtape. All rise baby.

Other than the fact that I couldn't live through the embarrassment of having that played loudly, that's exactly what I'm looking for!

I can feel the aneurysm coming.

 

[TheMatt]

Faith by George Michael. I fucking DARE you to try to sleep through the opening guitar riff..

Recently, I decided to change my alarm clock, as the shrill beeping of the old one made me want to tear my ears off. I decided to use my iPod's alarm feature. I started off by setting it to play the Final Fantasy 7 remastered boss fight tune (Still More Fighting) at 8 every morning. I thought I would wake up ready to take on the world. Instead, I woke up angry, confused, in a panic, and worried that I haven't saved.

For now I'm going to try using the Nico Nico Douga medley (orchestral version), but I don't think that will work very well either.

So here's the discussion: What alarm clock do use? Do you wake up with a song? What song do you use? How's it working for you? What would you recommend to use?

Sorry, as this is an instrumental band, discovering the actual name of the song is pretty difficult. But Godspeed You Black Emperor has the best already-out-of-bed get-ready song ever. To actually get your ass out of bed, I'd recommend a John Frusciante guitar solo from just about any Mars Volta work, esp. the second solo in "L'via L'viaquez." A combination of the 2 will get your ass on your way and feeling good about it, unless you hate that rock n' roll rubbish, in which case I'm afraid it's here to stay, Fred.

And yes, I will be offering cookies for the reference.

 

[Gxas]

I use Shake It by Metro Station. It's a good start to the day.

"Let's drop!" =D

Hell yeah man. I hate to admit it, but I love that cd.

 

[SantoUno]

If I did, it would be this song.


Best way to wake up!

Napalm Death? Fuck yeah.

I love waking up to metal.

Spoiler: Like this!

Tell me that wouldn't shock your ass right out of bed.

And you're fucking awesome as well.

Since I just got it I would probably use one of these two songs:

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Rush' Spirit of Radio.

"Begin the day with a friendly voice." is the first line.

I wake up to that everyday, and its generally a good day.

 

[Spitfire175]

Pretty much anything by Deicide. All sleepiness is banished instantly.

 

[Octorok]

Recently I've been using Mr. Blue Sky by ELectric Light Orchestra.

Huh. I've been using the exact same song...

 

[metalmmaniac]

Bleeding Mascara - Atreyu
-or-
My Curse - Killswitch Engage

nothing like waking up to screams and guitar solos. (its necessary, i'm a heavy-sleeper, lol)

 

[JazzCP]

"I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles. Nice and calm at the start, but I dare you to switch it off when it gets to "Oompa oompa, stick it up your jumper, everybody's got one, everybody's got one!".

 

[SmartIdiot]

If I did, it would be this song.


Best way to wake up!

Tried that a few times, it definetely got me out of bed I'll tell you...

Best thing you can do with an alarm clock and music though is choose a different song for each morning OR choose something you really hate and put the alarm clock across the room, that way you HAVE to get up.

If you wanna wake up fresh and invigorated, surely Beautiful Day by U2 takes some beating?
