Ask Lemmy

Default, baby!

Phone is on silent 100%.

The music that plays when Sonic the Hedgehog is drowning. I have never missed an alarm with that sound.

I use Runnin' Thru the 7th with My Woadies - $uicideboy$. The intro starts soft and takes about 30 seconds to fully build up.

Avengers theme ring tone. Captain America theme alarm.

I wake up 10 minutes before I need to get up so I almost never set alarms

My calendar notification yells "BINGLYBINGLYBINGLYBLEEP" and my ringtone is Reynolds and Farrell singing Grace Kelly. Text notification is the old HTC one. I've noticed I'm not the only one who still uses that one.

Ringtone is some random one on the phone that is not default. I used to have the default but changed it after confusing someone else's for mine.

Usually some song I like, currently: Yorushika - Sunny.

I love and use the Unsolved Mysteries intro song for calls, and a generic one from my phone for alarms.

Fanfare for the Common Man

Kind of a "ready to take on the world" thing happening.

Cuz, you got this!

There is this Monty Python sketch called “the machine that goes ping!”. So my alarm for stuff like timers and such is just an endless repeat of John Cleese saying “Ping!”. I don’t use that one in the morning though.

For the mornings I have a song called “Waterfall” by The Piano Guys that I fell in love with a few years ago. It’s gentle but with just enough enthusiasm to persuade me to wake up instead of forcing me.

My alarm cannot be anything with a real melody or I will hum it for hours on. I use some default tune what's more of a trill, does the job. My text/email alert used to be popping the bottle cap sound, my current phone has some brrp noise close enough to a fart to make me giggle - I'm old but not mature.

As for ring tones, I used to purchase some for pocket change from the last page of the tv guide. All fun and games until all the old relatives started dropping like flies. It just doesn't feel right to get an invitation to another funeral preceded by the Scissors Sisters 'I don't feel like dancing' or Eamon's 'fuck you'. For a long time my ring tone was the old school land line ringing. From the moment I was able to choose the ring tone from my playlist it has been 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip. I feel it's suitable for all occurrences while being only mine.
