Well, not really, kind of.
Alright, so I am an Assistant Scoutmaster for a Boy Scout troop. Summer camp is next week, and I've been tasked with putting together a CD of "wake up" music, since we do not have a bugler in the troop anymore. The format is fairly simple--track 1 is reveille, the last track is taps, everything else in between is up to me. The way it works is I get up a half hour before the boys are supposed to (I am allowed to have an alarm clock for this), brush my teeth, get dressed, etc, and then play reveille and one of the tracks on the CD.
I'm looking for suggestions for what to include this year. The music should be recognizable by boys ages 11-16, loud, and exciting--Ride of the Valkyries is going to be on there, as is the Star Wars theme and maybe Entry of the Gladiators (aka "that circus music").

Because I used to wake up to the radio and one time I happened to wake up to Little Richard - Tutti Frutti and it was awesome.
I might add that this is the song that starts out with "A WOP BOP A DO BOP, A WOP BAM BOOM!"
Van Halen - Eruption
You're going to be fucking awake when you play that.
And Knights of cydonia- Muse
Just throwing those two out there.
Seems appropriate at this time somehow.
Satans..... hints.....
That's a classic for getting me pumped, but it might be dated for them.
Alternatively, the original pokemon theme
Truth by Devin Townsend
It's track #1 on my wake up mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLzRfEzYEz8
But that's progressing beyond songs 11 year olds would want to wake up to.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme would do nicely.
I might reuse the Indiana Jones theme or John Williams' Superman theme (I am having a hard time remembering what was on the CD last--the last time I did this was 2 years ago)
Teach them history and inspire them towards greatness.
Also Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse is a great song to get pumped too.
3DS FC: 4699-5714-8940 Playing Pokemon, add me! Ho, SATAN!
1812 overture is also awesome if theyre down for stuff like that

Duel of the Fates

haha
You try sleeping through "Flower of Scotland".
Oh man, this. This times x100.
There's nothing like waking up to some Aqua. Barbie Girl, Dr. Jones etc. You name it, Scandi pop at it's best.
I always used Bombs Over Baghdad by Outkast when I was out running and wanted to quit. I think that would wake you up. Not sure if there is swearing in there, though. And, it does mention bombs and Baghdad...
