Best song to wake up to in the morning

Wake Up, it’s 1984 by Oingo Boingo

“WAKE UP, won’t you listen to me?
[repeat]
WAKE UP, won’t you listen to me?
WONT YOU LISTEN TO ME”

i used that as my wakeup song on a tape player/alarm, and it never failed to wake me up. i wonder why :slight_smile:

Anything by Andrew WK

High In The Morning - Astrid

Walking on Sunshine, Katrina and the Waves.

Mr. Blue Sky, Electric Light Orchestra.

If it is a nice day and I don’t have anything to do, Backwater by the Meat Puppets is a great way to start the day.

Two more good choices, again depending on the situation, would be Good Morning or possibly Sleep, both by The Dandy Warhols

“Pounding” by Doves.

“I Can See Clearly Now”
If any song can make you wake up with a smile on your face, this one can.

Another one just occured to me:

“Imagine”, by John Lennon. I know that looks corny in writing, but the rest of your day is going to feel absolutely wonderful (surreal, too.) At least it was for me. Maybe I’m just a freak.

either “search and destroy” by Iggy Pop and the Stooges or if im in a particularly kill the planet type moods then “mars, bringer of war” by Holst

The only problem with that one is it takes it 9 years to get loud.

I remember in camp we’d wake up every morning to Good Morning, Good Morning by the Beatles.

I advocate “Woke Up This Morning (Got Myself a Gun)” by A3. Yes, that’s the Sopranos theme song.

My ex used to wake up to The Beastie Boys’ No Sleep Til Brooklyn, really loud. He liked it. It annoyed the hell out of me though.

From Groundhog Day:
First D.J.: Rise and shine, campers, and don’t forget your booties 'cause it’s cooooold out there today.
Second D.J.: It’s cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
First D.J.: Not hardly.

The Moulin Rouge version of Roxanne. Starts out really quiet so if I wanna I can just snooze it and catch a few more minutes, but it gets all loud and sexy quick. Helps to counteract the “even my eyebrows have bed-head” kind of morning feeling.

Simple Gifts by Aaron Copeland

or

Three little birds by Bob Marley

both are light and delicate music, both will wake you up with a smile on your face.:wink:

I used to wake up to “The Fight Song of the Brunen-G”

That was a real motivator. And I couldn’t help but lay in bed and sing the song through a few times.
Yo-A-O

Here Comes The Sun…
