Ever since the days of Gemini, NASA has been awakening astronauts with their choice of “wake up” songs. For reasons that stagger the imagination, YOU are on the next mission.
So what are you choices for greeting the morning?
Personally, I choose:
Woodstock Soundtrack - Cut into the opening riff from “Volunteers” as Grace screams “Good Morning, People!”
“Miserlou” - Dick Dale - The opening guitar run will get anybody’s heart pumping
I used to have “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News as my morning alarm in my cell phone (as a homage to BTTF) but I had to remove it because I was starting to hate it.
However waking up and discovering I’m in space would be great (instead of waking up and discovering I have to go to work) so I think I would use it.
I went through a phase of clipping ringtones from various bits of music featuring trumpets. And I’m still using Eric Coates’s Calling All Workers, which should get anyone up and at it.
Another Coop song snippet that came to mind is the “Wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!” refrain from Black Juju. Don’t know how well that one would go over though.
