School has started and my teen refuses to use an alarm, leaving me to do the wakeup myself. As thr door is locked, I cannot gently awaken them. So, I decided music was great and chose the following 3 songs (played in this order and the reaction):
- Viva La Vida - Coldplay
- [quiet groans from inside, no movement]
- Baby Shark
- [whimpers and the sound of pillows shuffling]
- Welcome to the Jungle - Guns & Roses
- [door flew open, I was forced to flee]
So three songs seems to be the sweet spot. I’d like to keep it fresh and change daily so they can’t adapt. Please give me your 3-song playlist so I can continue to psychologically torture wake my child for school every day.
Chord Organ Blues - Daniel Johnston
Sound of Da Police - KRS-One
Frank - Bongwater
Originally I was thinking I’ve Got Drugs by The Frogs to open, but it may not be suitable for your teenager.
WAKE UPwake 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
Either What’s New Pussycat is longer than I remember…
Rawr.
My grandmother would regularly play mariachi music at way too early hours of Saturday as she was cleaning because she liked it. I learned to wake up before the crack of dawn on those days so I could be out of the house in time to avoid it.
Anyways, spice it up with things like yodelling, bagpipes, any cultural music with extremely high pitched instruments or vocals, and particularly emotional songs from popular musicals. And maybe throw in a soundtrack of metal pots falling down the stairs or glass crashing in between songs, just to keep them on their toes.
The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
Twist - Korn
Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) - The Backstreet Boys
Twist is such a jam, great choice.
Meshuggah - bleed, Marc rebillet morning alarm , Miley Cyrus - party in the USA

If they’re not enough for your child to choose an alarm instead, I don’t know what is.

ETA, if you are desperate, use the song the Feds did to try to drive the cultists out at Waco TX:
Achey Breaky Heart
Achey Breaky Heart
Achey Breaky Heart
My favorite song to gently wake up is Hammock, Ten Thousand Years Won’t Save Your Life - but the reason it’s so good is because it is good to hear while I am sleeping, so not a good alarm. But so nice to hear while laying in bed.
It’s opinionated, but anyway here’s my list lol
Toots & the Maytals - Broadway Jungle then The Toasters - I’m Running Right Through The World and finally Reel Big Fish - She Has a Girlfriend Now
Your teenager will feel like new
