Are there any radio stations that actually play Sonny and Cher at the time the alarm goes off in the movie? If I owned a station I would.

You’d have to play it over and over and over, just to be sure you got it on the air when everybody’s alarms go off.

Not really- if you set your alarm to the same time as them movie (6:00?) then you need play it only once for those that set their clock radio correctly.
