“Wake Up, It’s 1984” by Oingo Boingo. Starts by screaming “WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” I used it for an alarm for awhile except the effect was ruined when my body learned to wake up when the cassette tape started to play but before the music came on. Speaking of which — Chop Suey! by System of a Down, even though I’m not a big fan of the song. ---
