Excellent choice for an alarm.  :)

Revolution or Helter Skelter work well as alarms also. Not pleasant. But effective.

Either of those, especially Helter Skelter, would sure as heck have me leaping out of bed.  ha2ha

This would make a good thread: What Beatles song would you prefer to use as a wake-up alarm? Or something along those lines.

Hmm I don’t really set songs as alarms very often.  I tend  to take whatever the phone gives me.  I did for a while have George’s Marwa Blues as that’s a gentle instrumental.

Maybe Eight Days a Week would be a good one.  The way it fades up.

Same here.

I work such odd hours, and have to correspond with people in such various time zones, that I rarely even use an alarm. But when I do I tend to go with a gentle-sounding ringtone. At my age, raucous music suddenly blasting out tends to prompt heart palpitations.

I, too, was much more robust as a youth.  I remember using those old clock radio alarms. Anything from the  news to hard rock could suddenly pull you from sleep.

It also serves as my ringtone for calls, if I have my ringer on, typically I do not unless I absolutely am expecting a call I cannot miss

Also, a couple of weeks ago my friends were having coffee in a coffee shop that's part of a supermarket. Over the sound of the TV news playing in the background and  the shriek of the baristas' machines and the drive-thru chatter, I heard "Love Me Do" playing over the supermarket's PA system.

This just happened again!  ha2ha Just got home. I heard "She Loves You" playing in the supermarket section. Nobody but me seemed to notice. Those Beatles harmonies just jump right at us fans, though.

Yes I almost never have an audible call signal now. 90% of calls I get now are spam anyway. Everyone texts.

I was thinking that I used to have Helter Skelter as my alarm sound but it was actually The End…all two minutes and twenty-one seconds of it.

I played a couple on the jukebox at the bar shooting some pool the other day.

Which two songs did you pick, Todd?

Yes, Kathy, that’s been my experience. There’s a restaurant just outside of town that’s quite large with high ceilings. The acoustics are terrible. When it’s busy it can be be hard to hear the conversation if there’s more than four people at the table. Once I thought I heard something familiar and by George it was George!

Kelley, you should magically beam yourself to North Dakota one of these Fridays (because, you know, it's just that easy  ;D ), and then I'll have a Beatle comrade who will notice these songs, too.

Same here. Virtually all of my communication is by email or text. And I keep my phone muted nearly all the time anyway, because if a particular topic comes up in one of my text groups my phone starts blowing up, and it's hard to concentrate on work.

Hey Kelley.  Imagine having this living alarm sound...

Their first US top-ten hit back in early 1982.

A great band and vocalist.  Huey Lewis and The News could easily perform the song live...

I've always like Huey Lewis and the News, fun music - he did a cameo in The Blacklist a season or two ago, good guy.

Hey, it’s just crazy enough to work. So should I set the destination on my magic beamer to the supermarket?

That would certainly be a change of pace! But I think I’ve mentioned that I did have a live alarm, my mom. She had a repertoire that included “Lazy Mary, Will You Get Up?” Irving Berlin’s “ Oh How I Hate to Get up in the Morning” and my favorite…

That’s what happens when your mom was a WAVE!

I've always like their music, too, and I agree; their music is fun. It brings back so many fond memories from the 80s.

I hadn't known he did a cameo in The Blacklist or in Back to the Future.

That’s what happens when your mom was a WAVE!

Ahh, Reveille—brilliant choice! That never occurred to me. (I wasn't a WAVE, of course.) I used an air horn with my three. They were not happy. I had to use it only once, and after that the threat worked.  ha2ha

Hey, it’s just crazy enough to work. So should I set the destination on my magic beamer to the supermarket?

Yes!  :)
