Wake Up, Lovefool

I was wrong.

The best song to wake up to, is in fact Lovefool by The Cardigans.

I heard it this morning on Mix 102.9, and it spoke to me. It said, “Get out of bed, today is going to be AWESOME”. And you know what, I believed it.

Previously I was using Wake Up Boo! by The Boo Radleys for my alarm tone on my Windows Mobile mobile

It’s a great song, it has “Wake Up” in the title and it has pep. But I think I’ve grown immune to it. It didn’t hit the same way Lovefool did on the radio alarm.

It could also be the fact I’m working with one less alarm than usual. I normally use 3 alarms. First – Clock/Radio set to Mix 102.9 because I’m pretty sure they have the worst morning show ever. Their market is housewives. Second is the cell phone I use, Windows Mobile based. If you let it play its alarm tone completely without interrupting it, it won’t repeat the alarm. My last alarm is my unused Sony Ericsson T610. It plays the A-Team theme song in midi format. And it’s on my desk away from me, so it’s loud enough I’ll notice, but not loud enough I’ll get up and turn it off. But Long has that phone now because his worthless Samsung is at Samsung being repaired.

Here’s how my system works. I want to be up by 7am. The T610 goes off first, at 6:30am and continues and stops in a cycle of about 9 minutes. The Clock/Radio goes off at 6:40am and I hit snooze as soon as possible which requires me to lean out of bed. Then the Wakeup Song comes on at 6:50am. And when I turn it off, at that point I’m like, might as well get up.

And that’s how I get up in the morning.
