My thoughts to a tee. In my youth I remember using a couple of alarm clocks but Time is over the top.

(23,248 posts)that I went to for help on matters I couldn't solve. She wasn't old enough to remember that song. When I approached her desk, I would announce myself with, "Jenny, Jenny!" She never figured out where I got that from. (But another co-worker who knew the origin of it once told me that she'd slap the sh*t out of me if she discovered it.)

A song like this wants me to stay in bed:

(18,479 posts)Yes it woke up.
However, in my quest for a wake up tune, my ideal would be something to invigorate, grab the mind's attention but stop short of stopping my ticker or opening my eyes so wide that they can't close again.

(25,378 posts)The radio tended to play Ballroom Blitz and Bohemian Rhapsody at the same time every morning. (Between 6 and 6:30) Ballroom Blitz was a better wake up song because Bohemian Rhapsody had slow parts.

"Abracadabra - I wanna reach out and grab ya..."
And has the added distinction of having an equally horrible video to go along with it.
