What song can raise you from the dead? What tune can you dance, prance, jump to, to get over those difficult mornings.

I've went for a mixture of Anger and catchy melodies.

i.e.

So does anyone elso have a morning song to get them through the early hours?

Green Day - American Idot

gracehopper · 12-02-2008 2:32pm

see emily play - Pink floyd

Mr. CooL ICE · 12-02-2008 2:39pm

As an 'extremely hilarious' suggestion, i would say Wake Up! - The Boo Radleys

If you use your stereo's alarm, then I highly recommend Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill. First track on the album and it is guaranteed to wake you up

kev_s88 · 12-02-2008 2:44pm

i actually use Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine

qwertz · 12-02-2008 2:45pm

Griegs "Morning Mood".

galah · 12-02-2008 2:48pm

Steve Earle "Galway Girl"

Dunno why, that song makes me smile...And I usually hate diddle-eye....

angelbabyk · 12-02-2008 2:51pm

My fav to wake up to is anything by UB40 or Fish go deep, the cure and the cause...

brow_601 · 12-02-2008 4:58pm

tie your mother down by queen is always good

Any radiohead makes me feel bright and cheerful

You in Australia in 2001/02 IB?

I hate mornings, so morning songs don't apply.

deisedevil · 12-02-2008 6:44pm

Galvanise - Chemical Brothers. Played loud with plenty of Bass!

Just before i go out on the piss, Bloc Party - Prayer.

Creature · 12-02-2008 7:47pm

Some Pearl Jam or Jane's Addiction. Leash, Yellow Ledbetter or In Hiding by the former are all good.

IanCurtis · 12-02-2008 7:54pm

Just like Ferris Bueller, I use Sigue Sigue Sputnik

barclay2 · 12-02-2008 8:00pm

I dont know the name of the singer, but that song "make your own kind of music". Its pretty bent but if you've seen the first episode of Lost season 2, where the guy's on his morning routine, then its a good one. But ONLY if you've seen that episode.

It's Mama Cass.

My own song of the moment is Sigur Ros - Hoppiolla.

Nothing like a song about the joy of jumping in puddles sung in Icelandic to get you out of bed in the morning.

Enter the sandman by metallica played loud when I really need to get up and go.

Safety Dance by Men without hats when I need to get cheered up a bit.

Supersticious by Stevie Wonder

Galvanise by the chemical brothers

They are the main ones I listen to when I need to get going.

Toots · 12-02-2008 9:01pm

Galvanise is a good one to get going to alright! Loud and bassy to shake off the last of the sleepiness!

Journey too.....but any time is a good time for Journey.

I like Mrs Potter's Lullaby by Counting Crows too, reminds me of Australia so it always puts me in a good mood.

When I set my CD alarm clock it plays House of Pain, Jump Around..... but that's only if I really need to get up and have had a late night the night before! Usually the bog-standard alarm does the trick

Slidey · 12-02-2008 9:11pm

Live version of thunderstruck, thunder!
Overkill by colin hay, fell in love with it from scrubs episode
Khe sahn if i'm thinking of oz!

Ooh yeah!! And I Wanna Rock by twisted sister. For a few minutes it fools you into thinking you want to rock, when you're actually sitting in a traffic jam on the way to the office.:cool:

syklops · 12-02-2008 9:15pm

the tone on my phone for the alarm is enter the sandman. So that plays, but then I switch over to my pc or something to play it louder. My gf bought me a stereo system for my birthday today, which I have put in the living room / kitchen which I will use when im out of bed. And put the one that was in the kitchen next to my bed to thump out tunes when im in bed. Might just put it on a time switch at the other end of the room blaring Enter the sandman for when I wake up.

I always find ironic that what I use to wake up is enter the sandman, which is about going to sleep. :P

Hal1 · 12-02-2008 9:20pm

For those about to Rock....WE SALUTE YOU!!! by AC/DC.

syklops · 12-02-2008 9:42pm

i forgot to include Fortunate Son by Creedence!

doonothing · 12-02-2008 9:51pm

Belle and Seb- Funny little frog...

I don't like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats.
I change the day every day.
If some prick gets in my way in the spar in the village in 15 minutes, I'll eat them for ****ing breakfast.

Dr4gul4 · 13-02-2008 7:57am

Today's song was Jed's Other Poem by grandaddy it's fittingly depressing

Me too!!!

That's my don't-wanna-get-up song (i.e. almost every morning.)

But if I'm actually excited about getting up because I'm doing something fun, then it's either Build Me Up Buttercup or else Funkytown.

FlutterinBantam · 15-11-2009 6:19pm

phasers · 15-11-2009 6:21pm

I can't stand music first thing in the morning, I watch In The Night Garden to wake myself up

And Hello Sunshine by The SFA, but I couldn't find a link for that weirdly.

SM01 · 15-11-2009 6:23pm

Lovely Day by Bill Withers or the whole of "A Strangely Isolated Place" by Ulrich Schnauss for getting up at the weekend. I don't like being abruptly woken or jolted first thing or else I'm grumpy for the rest of the day so it's nice, easy music to get the day started.

builttospill · 15-11-2009 6:27pm

Stabbed in the Face by Wolf Eyes

Seren_ · 15-11-2009 6:32pm

I'm A Cuckoo by Belle and Sebastian and Coin Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls... I like something I can sing along to, much to the annoyance of my housemates.
