I feel the time has come to talk about something very close to my heart. Something that has been with me since my early high school years, and continues to be a big part of my day. It is the reason I get up every morning. I do not resent it for bringing me out of my sleep, rather I thank it for bidding me welcome to the world of the living. Without it I would not be the person that I am today. Thus, let me take some time out, and give my dear morning alarm tune the praise it deserves.
This is no simple tune, pre-installed by the powers that be Samsung Electronics, no, far from it. This is an actual full length song which became quite famous when it was released in 2003. Indeed, it was even used by the Polaroid Group to revitalize people's fading perception of those self-developing film cameras. Even though it might not have been able to single-handedly resurrect that industry, it certainly breathes new life into me each morning. Personally, I think its purpose is duly fulfilled.
Bet you want to know what song I am talking about. Maybe you have already figured it out. We'll, good on you, Sherlock Holmes! For the mortals in my audience, bear with me just a while longer.
As in the case with Pavlov's Dog, everytime I listen to this song I immediately associate it with waking up. I get a slight burst of energy every time I hear those lyrics: "One, two, three,uh!". I do not know if this is strictly normal, it may even be borderline mental, conditioning myself with the use of tunes like that. I have yet to salivate profusely though, so I think it is alright for the time being.

Figured it out yet? Think you've got it? Well, let me tell you. Got it just don't get it till there is nothing at all.
Ok. I have toyed with you enough, and if you have made it all the way down here without losing interest, you deserve your reward. I shall now share with you this tune that has been my steady companion for many years. You know what they say, nothing is forever, so what makes (what makes) this song the exception? Guess you'll find out.
*Warning* this brilliant song has been known to cause spontaneous dancing of joy. Listen with caution especially if you find yourself at a boarding school where such movement of the body is highly frowned upon.
As you were. Here it is. Go on, click it (song starts at 1:01) ===> http://bit.ly/V8BWIj
