Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I always thought the Fireburg village music from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest would make a good alarm. I've been considering using it myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Zq95YQGnY
The Barney the Dinosaur song, "I Love You," on repeat, has been proven to be effective psychological warfare by the US Military.
Also just because it has a beat, and will confuse them, All Paladins Are Bastards

The main theme from the Lion King
I had a roommate who would play "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads every morning at top volume.
It starts slow and quiet, then the drums kick in hard, launching you out of bed. By the end of the song we'd be pogo-dancing around the apartment.
Firestarter by The Prodigy
Wipe Out by The Surfaris
Mars from Holst's Planet's Suite
Entombment of a Machine, job for a cowboy
That'll wake em up for sure...
Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner
Elephant Talk by King Crimson
Hocus Pocus by Focus
in the hall of the mountain king would be a great addition to this list.
it has 1 song: paradigm shift by liquid tension experiment
-
The 1812 overture. If that's too long, just focus on the section with the cannons.
-
Crazy frog
-
The macarena (I was struggling to think of a third song, but I would hope the first two would do the job)
This is my wake-up playlist

I had 'Thunderbirds Are Coming Out' by TISM as my alarm for a few years. Those opening horns certainly get the blood pumping.
Stress by Justice, at extremely high volume.
Shouldn't even need anything else. The stress the song gives should be enough to cause someone to vacate the premises.
Sabbath - Mob Rules
(Starts off tinkly)
--///--
Sepultura - Arise
What's New Pussycat 7 times, followed by It's Not Unusual, then more of the first.
Same shit as always
You Give Love a Bad Name. Very loud.
WAKE UP
^wake^ ^up^
Grab a bush and put a little makeup
Chop Suey! - System of a Down
I love SoaD so much :D I was looking for this comment
Just start playing Pantera's Cowboys From Hell album from the beginning and I guarantee he'll get up. If you want to spice it up just start it on a different song each morning.
this is how metalheads are born.
All Star - Smash Mouth (Kid's Bop version)
The Pokérap
DK Rap
Aphex Twin - Rhubarb (#3 on Selected Ambient Works Volume II)

Gentle come-up, gentle rhythm introduction, followed by unresistable urge to dance
Wake up song improvised by Marc Rebillet Good morning sunshine by the narcissist cookbook Happy morning - The song from the folgers coffee ad
make your own song entirely out of gen alpha memes and slang that you don't even understand and make it as wrong as possible
Current value - Tremor
Bodies - Drowning Pool
It gives nice quiet and loud so that it isn't easy to tune out
AC/VC by Neil Cicierega
Honorable mention: The darkest and most evil song ever made. Satan himself couldn't conjure a more effective earworm.

Pick three three of their favorite songs and start singing terribly. I’m talking off-key, purposely wrong lyrics. As loud as you can.
Even better if you can improv the lyrics to customize it just for them.
If they wish to preserve the sanctity of their media they’ll wake up sooner rather than later.
Pick three three of their favorite songs and start singing terribly
no. just their favorite songs in general.
I once had the briht idea of using my favorite songs as my alarm sound.
It just lead to me absolutely hating the songs, because my brain associated them with waking up
Burning heart - Survivor
Eye of the tiger - Survivor
No need for third
All Star - Smash Mouth
Hey now.
