Oh TOOOOOODLES!
I'll admit it, I have an iPhone. I realize that makes me a candidate
for douchebaggery on many levels, but, in my defense, it was a
totally unexpected, not-requested birthday gift. So there. The
reason I bring it up is because I have a question about it. How do
I set the alarm to play a song I've loaded into the thing?
Because I have a song that I really think I need to wake up to each
morning.
For those of you without a small child in your life, this is the ending song to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, an adorable little animated show for little kids. Do I even need to tell you that the song is by They Might Be Giants? It's incredible not just because of the ridiculous non sequitur nature of the lyrics (the show doesn't really have anything to do with hot dogs), but also, PLEASE RE-WATCH AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DANCE THAT DONALD DUCK IS DOING. All the dances are great, but Donal Duck is GEEEEHEEENIUS. My entire family was doing this dance at one point and it was pretty much the best moment of my life.
Anyway, I think this would be a great song to wake up to, for a couple of reasons:
1. The thought of Donald Duck's dance will erase whatever nightmare I just had, and make the day ahead not so daunting.
2. It will minimize snoozing. The song is great once a day, but once every 10 minutes over a 2 hour period? Too much.
So if anyone has any advice on how to rig this up on my iPhone, let me know. So far I haven't been able to find the "Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog Alarm Clock" in the App Store.
