Wake up tunes

[S100HP]

Apparently Wills likes to wake up to AC/DC - Thunderstruck which is a most excellent wake up tune.

Old Liz like a bit of bagpipes in the morning.

What about you, what tune gets you up on the morning? I think it's almost impossible for me to narrow it down to one, so I think I'm going to give you the option for your top 3 songs.

These are not necessarily your top 3 songs ever, but 3 that you find really uplifting.

I'll add mine in a bit, once I've worked them out.

Songs that I have actually used as morning wake-up alarms over the years:

Gun - Steal your fire (similar vein to Thunderstruck, great intro and properly wakes you up)

Justin Timberlake - Rock your body (not a fan of him in general, but a great intro and mellow alarm track to ease you into a day)

I dont have a third!

Have given this a bit of thought now.

My first was always going to be Jimmy Eat World - The Middle. Just a fantastic get you out of bed kind of song.

Second, I think would have to go to Stevie Wonder - Superstition. That base line is just so funky. Gets you dancing round the room.

Thirdly, Slipknot - Surfacing. I'm a huge fan of metal and heavy rock. This song isn't uplifting as such but lights a certain fire, especially when screaming the chorus ...

"fk it all! fk this world!
fk everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! don't exist!
Don't give a st!
Don't ever judge me!"

There are so many others I could choose of course, but these are my initial thoughts.

Wills has the right band, but the wrong song.

"You shook my all night long" is the perfect wake up song.

...and Liz needs 'It's a long way to the top'

It seems to be Sonny & Cher's I got you Babe that does it for me, every morning.
