WAKE UP

^wake^ ^up^

Grab a bush and put a little makeup

What's New Pussycat 7 times, followed by It's Not Unusual, then more of the first.

YOUR NEW MORNING ALARM

This is actually my alarm sound

Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

Mr Blue Sky - ELO

X Gon Give It to Ya - DMX

Turn Down for What - Like Jihn

Pound the Alarm - Nicki Minaj

Everybody - Backstreet Boys

Wannabe - Spice Girls

Cha Cha Cha - Kaarija

Paloma Rumba - Simon

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.

• What's New Pussycat - Tom Jones

Wham! — Wake Me Up

TMBG — Wake Up Call

Bullfrog ft. Kid Koala — Music for More Morning People

(I used to use Hokus Pick's "I'm So Happy" but it just hits different under the current presidential administration)

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.

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.

Wake Up – Rage Against The Machine https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gFNPzbWROFc

Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner

Elephant Talk by King Crimson

Hocus Pocus by Focus

Might I suggest: Who Let the Dogs Out followed by Around the World and lastly The Final Countdown.

The trick is to pick something and sing it yourself. Preferably some old traditional song.

All Star - Smash Mouth (Kid's Bop version)

The Pokérap

DK Rap

1. Cbat - Hudson Hawke

2. Gangnam Style - Psy

3. Burning Down the House - Tom Jones/The Cardigans

Start off confusing them with a cacophony of sound, followed by high energy, into Tom Jones shouting. Should be pretty hard to sleep through all of that

I think you're going about this the wrong way, You won't have wake them up if they can never fall asleep listening to every song here all night. Tell them you'll only turn it of if they set their own alarm.

Right now you're training them that the obnoxious music will be their alarm.

Also, if your kid has an android I love the alarm app called AMDroid. It is super customizable, (who knew an alarm could have so many options). It can set to do things like send a notification after a few minutes "are you awake?", if you don't respond the alarm goes again. You can set various math or word challenges to stop the alarm, you can make it only turn of if you're close enough to the router, or at a certain light level, and so on.

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.

The main theme from the Lion King

• 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)

• Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift

• Dimmu Borgir - Puritania

• Devin Townsend - Kingdom

Honorable mention: The darkest and most evil song ever made. Satan himself couldn't conjure a more effective earworm.

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

Marc rebillet good morning wake up

Wake up bitch, get up

https://youtu.be/Tz2tD8Hzb7o

There's a YouTube channel called " The Guy Who Sings Your Name Over and Over "

See if he has a song with your kid's name.

• MELT-BANANA - The Hive
• Anna Meredith - Nautilus
• Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy

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

1. Beats Antique - Revival

2. Rasputina - Transylvanian Concubine

3. Aphex Twin - Nannou

AC/DC — “Thunderstruck” or “For Those About to Rock”

And—please don’t hate me for this, everybody—that horrible Kars for Kids jingle. Play it on something he has to physically get out of bed to shut off.

Raffi - Banana Phone

Theme from Mr. Ed

Eifel 65 - Blue

Teddy Brown - Dance of Raindrops

Paul McCartney - Wondeful Christmastime

When I struggled to get up in my late teens and early twenties, I used a submarine dive horn as an alarm. That worked well, but my roommates were not a fan.

Edit: This is a fun post and I kinda ignored the game, my bad!

I use Fleet Foxes' Sun Giant as an alarm, the deep inhale in the beginning gets me up instantly then the soft music is comforting as I stir awake. But might not be as useful for a teen who can't wake up.

Streetlight Manifesto's Everything Went Numb starts with horns and quickly gets upbeat and fast, great track that seems hard to sleep through.

Moxy Fruvus' King of Spain has a good mix of upbeat, percussive vocals and a slightly embarassing Weird Al/comedy acapella vibes that might make it insufferable to sleep through.

I could easily see Blue Swede's Hooked on a Feeling becoming a dreaded familiar wake up call. Ooga Chaka Ooga Ooga Ooga Chaka Ooga Ooga Ooga Chaka...

Maybe set up a subwoofer under their bed and hit em with something like Aquagen's Ihr Seid so Leise.

Meshuggah - bleed, Marc rebillet morning alarm , Miley Cyrus - party in the USA

Firestarter by The Prodigy

Wipe Out by The Surfaris

Mars from Holst's Planet's Suite

• Alice in Chains - Them Bones
• Korn - Wake up
• The Prodigy - The Day Is My Enemy

Starting with Them Bones is key

Chop suey

Alternatively

Your new morning alarm by Mark Rebillet

The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground

Twist - Korn

Everybody (Backstreet's Back) - The Backstreet Boys

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

When I went to band camp, they'd wake us up by setting up giant speakers in the dorm halls and playing Eye of the Tiger or Convoy

Bodies - Drowning Pool

It gives nice quiet and loud so that it isn't easy to tune out

Wake up song improvised by Marc Rebillet Good morning sunshine by the narcissist cookbook Happy morning - The song from the folgers coffee ad

Aphex Twin - Rhubarb (#3 on Selected Ambient Works Volume II)

Tycho - Awake

Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters

Gentle come-up, gentle rhythm introduction, followed by unresistable urge to dance

it has 1 song: paradigm shift by liquid tension experiment

https://youtu.be/Vi2IQNs8hlE?is=dNjKIzntyy-X7wHx

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.

Cranked as loud as the stereo will go:

• Hank Williams - Your Cheatin’ Heart
• The Carpenters - (They Long to be) Close to You
• Christopher Cross - Sailing
• Anything by Conway Twitty.

If necessary, find covers by the easiest of easy listening orchestras. If you want to have one album rather than individual songs, make it a Christmas album. I would recommend Loretta Lynn’s Country Christmas.

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

There is always The Most Unwanted Song:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=-gPuH1yeZ08

Warning: Very long, contains bad music that includes an opera singer rapping about cowboys and children singing holiday commercials.

I actually own this on CD.

1: Good Morning Vietnam monologue. 2: Whatever march music you find appropriate. I'd recommend the March of the Red Cavalry. 3: Dead Kennedys: Kill The Poor.

When I struggled to get up in my late teens and early twenties, I used a submarine dive horn as an alarm. That worked well, but my roommates were not a fan.

Viande by Igorrr of course

1. Primus - My Name Is Mud

2. Tom Waits - Starving In The Belly Of A Whale

3. The Flaming Lips - Kim's Watermelon Gun

*Playlist may be inappropriate for some teenagers?

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Get very bright smart bulbs. Set them to standard brightness all the time and then blastthe fucker come alarm time.

Why three when one will do?

Start with

Nuco - Fairest of the seasons

And just as it sets in beautifully... peaceful... you immediately play

System of a down - jet pilot

And round it all out with

Crazy Frog - Axel F

Also, lobby your kid's school for later start times. Kids need that sleep.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2yptujSQMY

(Yeah, it's only one song, but play it loud enough and hopefully you'll only need the one song.)

Wake up - Korn

Psychosocial-Slipknot Coming Undone-Korn The Devil in I-Slipknot

Man, I would wake up in a great mood

All Star - Smash Mouth

Come to daddy - Aphex twin Godhood - Humanity's last breath Bleed - Meshuggah

Nana mouskouri’s Guten Morgen Sonnenschein. This one on repeat was always used to wake us up with weekends away with our association.

Flamman & Abraxas - Good To Go

Mortician - Procreation (of the wicked)

Beck - Wow

John Sykes - Cautionary Warning

really anything from Sykes would be good to wake up to.

Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich - Hold Tight!

Modest Mouse - Float On

The Strokes - 12:51

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

Bush - Machinehead

The Prodigy - Breathe

(Starts off tinkly)

--///--

Sepultura - Arise

Entombment of a Machine, job for a cowboy

https://youtu.be/nOJHbpijw3o

That'll wake em up for sure...

You only need one song at loud volume. Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Pt 3. They'll be up and out in less than 30 seconds.

This is my wake-up playlist

Killing in the name of - Rage Against the Machine

Been suggested before. Instead, try this:

2Cellos - The Trooper

Fuel - Metallica

Carraspana - Peste e Sida

The last one is from a portuguese punk band. The way the singer opens the song never fails to open a couple of eyes.

1. PEELINGFLESH - FFWAS
2. Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire

Then finish them off with:

1. Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through the Tulips With Me

Melvins - Night Goat

If theyre not up by the first wail they will be once hes done.

Runner up would be A History of Bad Men since that starts with "WAKE UP you never looked so glum"

Elvis Costello Welcome to the Working Week

Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall

Evanescence Bring me to life

A dance version:

Belle and Sebastian The Party Line

Scissor Sisters I don't feel like dancing

Wham! Wake me up before you go go

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.

1. Mue by Koki Nakano, something beautiful and strange incase they are actually sleeping.

2. Lift me up by Moby, time to rise and shine!

3. Anything (for example Yellow Silk Buddha) by Incapacitants to scare them out of their room.

Cum on Feel the Noize - Slade

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78ezU7x3jfE

What what in the butt - Samwell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU

my bet is they be up by the time #3 is on.

I've been everywhere man - The Beggars (Aussie edition)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20oqyMVbss0

“Teenager” is a fairly broad spectrum of age; there’s a big difference between 13 & 17. You should pick something geared toward his approximate point of psycho-intellectual development. I personally would suggest tinnitus sounds, the kind of droning bass that literally makes the house shake, or an earrape version of “Reveille” accompanied by you banging on something metal, like Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

-A 20-something college student who can barely get out of bed in the morning himself.

• JVB - security

• Beastie Boys - no sleep till Brooklyn

• HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls

One - creed

Detachable penis - king missle

Everybody shooters too - 42 dugg

Hear me out. We start low and slow with:

Rainbow Brite - Brand New Day

Not too loud. Just enough on the annoying side.

No? Well, let's get the point across with:

Evanescense - Bring Me to Life

We've been pretty nice so far and no joy, huh? You asked for it, the worst(best) song in this kit:

This Diabolical Mashup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoe1Wz5g9Nc

Anyone who can sleep through Bassnectar - Raw Charles deserves some kind of award.

First movement of George Crumb’s Black Angels.

Common Bitch by Ween

Anything by The Hu

Reveille, the morning bugle call

Walking on broken glass by Annie Lennox.

https://washedout.bandcamp.com/track/waking-up

https://dubmood.bandcamp.com/track/and-off-they-rode-the-whole-colorful-troupe

https://igorrr.bandcamp.com/track/opus-brain

It gets less accommodating the more they don't get up !!

1: Angelspit - Krankhaus - Vena Cava

2: Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera - Waiting for an Answer

3: Mick Gordon - Doom 2016 Soundtrack - Damnation

Don't go easy on the volume. If they still don't come out after that, they had a heart attack.

Dragostei Din Tae

Jump in my car by David hasselhoff

Hey Ya by Outlast

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
LaGrange - ZZ Top

Let's Wake The Neighbors - Whitest Kids U Know

https://.youtube.com/watch?v=hsn63yAzP6E

Frankentek - Is Too Soft

no 2nd or 3rd song needed :3

Smile

You Suffer by Napalm Death. It’s 1.6 seconds long, but played at max volume, it would wake the dead.

For a particularly brutal morning :

Strapping young lad : underneath the waves

Dillinger escape plan : sunshine the werewolf

And Levan's polka so it gets stuck in their head for the whole day

<3

The Pipkins - Gimme Dat Ding

Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

The Presidents of the United States of America - Lump

Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost in the Fog
Rebecca Black - Friday
System of a Down - Bounce

Might i suggest a better alternative

AC/VC by Neil Cicierega

Wake up Jeff - The Wiggles

I had a room mate once who had the john cena tune as his alarm and every day he would sleep through it for at least an hour.

Wake Up by Suicide Silence used to be my wake up song, give that one a go

Wu-Tang Clan - Method Man

Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill

Metallica - Battery

i went through several ways to get up on my own through that age, hated everything, and anything i liked i would eventually hate also, lyrics, beats, voices would become ear worms. Long story short, Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven has been holding up awesome going on a few decades. YMMV

Sean Schafianski - Locke

The song works great for waking up because it starts strong and has a very heroic sound.

Anything extratone https://youtu.be/8RAYlykjQrw?t=83

The heavy metal alarm clock: Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP9412LFP0o

Pipecore

look for seal sounds on spotify

May I suggest Igorrr "Spaghetti Forever" At first glance it's sweet and calm but then it becomes pure insanity.

I like tull so to cry you a song, minstrel in the gallery, and then high born hunting girl.

You Give Love a Bad Name. Very loud.

I had 'Thunderbirds Are Coming Out' by TISM as my alarm for a few years. Those opening horns certainly get the blood pumping.

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

This one

Catch Fire - Jenix

When I Get Free - Tupac

Goin' Crazy - D12

These were/are the songs I use for my alarms at least and they do the trick. Idk if it will work well on someone who doesn't like hip hop though

I know you said three songs but Ghost Love Score by Nightwish is 10 minutes long and is basically 3 songs in one

1. Nitro Fun - New Game

2. Madeon - Pop Culture

3. Nitro Fun - Cheat Codes

Here Comes the War - New Model Army
One Step Closer - Linkin Park
Baby Shark (10 Hours) - some random maniac on the interwebs

Mr Brightside by The Killers

The Distance by Cake

Higher by Creed

https://youtu.be/JgffRW1fKDk

Ready to Go- Republica

Psyopus - pig keepers daughter

Meth witch - burn victim

Archspire - golden mouth of ruin

Superchicken

Tachikomas singing

Go Go Cactus Man

Wake me up when september ends

Holding out for a hero or pink pony club. The door will kick open as they come out singing

2 Live Crew - Shake that ass bitch

Papa Smurf Can I Lick Your Ass

If he's not awake by then, give up.

Do what my grandpa did when he wanted to wake me up. He'd throw a bucket of water on me.

This was fun! My suggestions are either themed around sleep or waking, and some are simply weird or discordant. All should be suitable for teenagers. Mostly older stuff that should jangle their brain a bit.

Something classical: Flight of the Bumblebee

A country earworm: Is this the way to Amarillo? by Tony Christie

Disco nonsense: Shake shake shake shake your booty by KC and the Sunshine Band

Punk chaos: 10% Weird by The Meanies

Thumping house: 74 is the new 24 by Giorgio Moroder

Japanese blues: Akita Ondo by George & Noriko

80s hard rock: All Fired Up by Fastway

Bluey's Dad used to be the lead singer in an indie guitar band: Apartment by Custard

Naughties pop: Wake Up by Arandhna

Brain Body by Acid Dad

My entire senior year i had a cd player alarm clock that played reel big fish's cover of "take on me" every morning at 6am after not getting any sleep the night before. It definitely got me up and going.

Substance by Haste the Day.

This used to be my alarm clock, the abrupt opening is very jarring, in a good way for waking up.

Hide a BT speaker on a shelve or something high up.
Then blast the everliving volume of any song out of it :)

If you want to wake them up, anything you can play with a bugle.

Anything by the Shaggs, it's possibly the worst music ever published and he'll probably jump out of bed to turn it off:

https://youtu.be/XR9d4ESlpHY

Just two:

Take five – Panzerballet

@@@@@ – Arca

Helix Nebula by Anamanaguchi

If you really want to startle them awake:

Wannabe - Spice Girls has an abrupt start. Someone woke me up that way when I was young and I hated it.

My dad would always fall back on:

https://youtu.be/It7MrzMzMQ8

Edit: I missed the "gentle" part of the ask. My bad.

Let the bodies hit the floor by drowning pool

This meme remix of a forum post asking for help identifying a song is just fun and annoying

Any of the "toad sings" are also fun ones.

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.

https://youtu.be/PS2mCuX1zeM

https://youtu.be/9ZrAYxWPN6c

https://youtu.be/MwhzJfNCSdE

• Song one: TAKE THE LOCK OFF THIER DOOR If they don’t like that song, you can play side B of that album which is TAKE THE DOOR OFF THE HINGES

• Song two: MAKE THEM USE AN ALARM

• Song three: IF THEY DON’T USE THIER ALARM, BELLOWING AS LOUD AS YOU CAN IN THIER EAR WORKS GREAT

The only song I'm playing for a teenager who can't get themselves up on time in my house is the theme song to being grounded. At this age they are perfectly capable of accepting responsibility for getting up on time.
