Wake up Music

I'm looking for some slightly annoying music to wake people up to.

I know it's tempting to say 'eat my fuc' right now, but that will only be laughed about and not actually used.

I have to wake up a group of high school students on a trip all next week... I have a few selections:

Hot Rats
Dub Bomb
Klezmornin to you
Rockabilly Shake Out

other thoughts that I've had that I'm not wild about ..
-Edith Piaf
-Morning Feedback with special guests - Gang of Four, Jesus & Mary Chain, Yo La Tengo & the Velvet Underground
-Drumfight! Ginger Baker vs George Hurley.
-Saturday Morning cartoon themes + Schoolhouse rock
-Public IMage - Metal Box or Flowers of Romance

Suggest something .. educational themes are what I'm looking for .. it's not enough to be just plain annoying .. it should also be new to young ears, if possible. Oh, and unfortunately, it has to be clean also...

laurie anderson: o superman, so loud they dont know what the fuck is going on

Oh do i REALLY have to type "Trout Mask Replica" again?

oooh yes I doooo.

Both excellent suggestions that I will probably use. Keep them coming ...

(To be honest, I think you have it covered now...)

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

the hot rats thing is hilarious.

i'd say slipknot though.

"The Black Rider" and "Season of Glass" played either back-to-back or at the same time would both engage and educate young ears. Well, it'd wake them up at least.

waking up to o superman would be the scariest thing i can imagine

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

This used to happen, back when it was in the charts...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I also just found a Varese percussion CD at the library. A good followup to O Superman.

I think the Rite of Spring may also be nice..

Any Acid Mothers Temple CD that starts with at least two minutes of freeform guitar solo yowling/keyboard yowling/vocal yowling.

Ulver remixes of Emperor.

new PAN SONIC

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a stereo sampler LP ("this is a journey into sound" as per eric b/rakim) that was a cool rehearsal of the Rites of spring... lots of 'an deux toi' count-ins before the 'thunder' etcet.

SAWII disc 2 track 3

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

grout, any way you could like record that lp to a hard disk and mp3 it and soulseek it, please?

oh and make me breakfast too while you're at :)

― common_person (common_person), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Neil Young - T-Bone
Any Ween

― frankE (frankE), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe.

Lead time for LP requests are around 2 years...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

nicely matches my lead time for acting on the ideas in my head

if you'd consider arousing them gently from their golden slumbers and gradually filling them with toe-tapping joie de vivre, use Smallville. that will always be a morning album for me

― common_person (common_person), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I accidentally left Slayer in my clock radio last night, so I woke up to the pleasant sounds of Reign In Blood today.

"Wake Up" by XTC

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Flying Saucer Attack's first album. "My Dreaming Hill" will hit, theie ears will start ringing, and they'll be so confused that they'll have no choice but to listen to your guidance.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

ooooohh, "Wake Up Boo!" by the Boo Radleys, they'll HATE that (as we all should).

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Any Ween

Chances of keeping it clean are greatly diminished... I wouldn't venture into Ween wake-up territory unless you're familiar enough with their catalog to find the clean stuff.

That said, if "Bumblebee" didn't have the "oooooooh shiiiiiiit" line in it, it'd be a wonderful wake-up song for kids.

They Might Be Giants may be a decent alternative. Particularly the "Fingertips" "medley" at the end of Apollo 18.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't condone playing They Might Be Giants around them - because then they're gonna want to listen to that shit all day. It's best not to mention them.

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Lou Reed - METAL MACHINE MUSIC

― Christian H., Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

ahem .. let me reiterate .. slightly annoying.. ;-)

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Lou Reed - POEtry

Oh wait, that's even more annoying than Metal Machine Music.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I have woken campers up with "25 or 6 to 4" before. It works marvelously for the effect you desire.

― Joseph McCombs, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Half Japanese - "Dream Date"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Teenage Riot

― Graeme (Graeme), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

NO QUESTION:

todd rundgren - i saw the light
something/anything is the jam to awake to, if the sun is painfully bright.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Thursday, 10 June 2004 03:10 (twenty-two years ago)

disregard. i didnt read the question.
i just assumed the only reason youd want to wake someone up was to have sex.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Thursday, 10 June 2004 03:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I put on Super Ae first thing this morning. That should be ok for high school kids-well there is that IN THE ASS lyric on Super Are, maybe they wouldn't catch that.
Reign in Blood. It's educational. They talk about the holocaust and witch trials.
Atari Teenage Ri....oh you said clean, do they cuss on that Slayer record? Shit, I guess I'm not helping much. ummmmmm...Peter Gabriel 3. yeah, wake them up with Intruder, then play Biko for the educational part. Serge Gainsbourg, Comic Strip, it's only dirty if they know French. uhhh, TOM WAITS BONE MACHINE. Earth died screaming would be fun to wake up teenage brats with, and he retells bible stories!

Hm. I know I'm like the only person on ILM who cites TMBG as his favorite band, but how is it bad if the thing you hear in the morning makes you want to hear it all day?

If nothing else, you could hold it over their heads if that actually happened. Like "You guys want to listen to TMBG again today or not?! Everybody in the bus RIGHT NOW!"

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 10 June 2004 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, upon third listen he's saying IN THE EARTH on Super ARE hahahaha.
the japanese accent threw me off. Earth, ass, same thing. So yeah, it's clean. Totally wake them up with Boredoms Super Ae. It would blow their probably linkin park likin' minds

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 10 June 2004 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Autechre - Bine
Squarepusher - the last song off of Music Is Rotted One Note (it sounds like an air raid horn - really depressing and scarey).
Tom Waits - Motown (I think that's it, really loud horrible car chase instrumental off of Rain Dogs)
Venetian Snares vs Speedranch - Making Orange Things (this'll get you out of bed too)

I hate nasty bratty modern punk music but somehow it works wonders first thing in the morning when the senses haven't quite started working.

This Heat: Health and Efficiency
The Who: Tommy's Holiday Camp (emphasis on *camp*)
To be flat out annoying, any shit on ESP or BYG
or Yoko Ono: Plastic Ono Band ("hey guys, this is half the Beatles! calm down! but wake the fuck up!")
or Flipper: Generic
or Disco Inferno: DI go Pop
And actually, the Rushmore soundtrack is great trippy rouse-the-troops lace-the-boots muzak.

But really, if you start every morning with O Superman, they'll thank you in the long run. I'd love to relay to future girl/boyfriends while playing the record that "there was this crazy teacher who woke us up every morning for a week with this song! gnarly, huh?!" Make sure you mention the ice skates and the playback sensors in her bow and fluxus and all that shit.

― Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Thursday, 10 June 2004 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

For a long time, I woke up to the sweet sound of the Sisters of Mercy's "Vision Thing".
Current 93's 'Dog Blood rising' could also be a good choice.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Thursday, 10 June 2004 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

how is it bad if the thing you hear in the morning makes you want to hear it all day?

But it's supposed to annoy them not me.. ;-)

Bone Thugz N Harmoney "First of the Month"!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 10 June 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

eleven months pass...

Well, it's that time again.. Any new suggestions would be helpful ..

I'm going more toward the educational (ie broadening horizons a little) than the annoying this year .. but still, it has to have a sort of "get-up, you lazy fuckers" sense to it - so nothing ethereal or calming...

So far, I've got:

Miles Davis - Dark Magus
Django Reinhardt - (something)
Spotlight Kid /or Doc at the Radar Station
Tabla Beat Science

..Looking for some good Mexican music - I haven't found anything I like yet for this purpose...

I need a few more. And again, they need to be free from profanity... (unless they're non-English.)

I have made my morning scrambled eggs on toast & tea to Tomas Tobias - Smallville more than once...

― fandango (fandango), Monday, 6 June 2005 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It's about the only time I can bear DNTEL's blandness actually. If I'm feeling particularly fragile it somehow works.

The rest of the time - skip that f&%$*^!
