Best morning song/song to start off your day

[imperialismispasse]

What song can get you moving in the morning? I like "Get Behind the Mule" by Tom Waits. What about you?

Molly be damned smote Jimmy the Harp
With a horrid little pistol and a lariat
She's goin to the bottom
And she's goin down the drain
Said she wasn't big enough to carry it

She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods
You gotta meet me by the fall down tree
Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid
And I know they'll come lookin for me boys
And I know they'll come a-lookin for me

Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Big Jack Earl was 8'1
He stood in the road and he cried
He couldn't make her love him
Couldn't make her stay
But tell the good Lord that he tried
(Chorus)
Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
Stirring my brandy with a nail
(Chorus)
Well the rampaging sons of the widow James
Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid
Had to stand naked at the bottom
Of the cross
And tell the good lord what they did
Tell the good lord what they did
(Chorus)
Punctuated birds on the power line
In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Joaks
I'm diggin all the way to China
With a silver spoon
While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys
The hangman fumbles with the noose
(Chorus)
Pin your ear to the wisdom post
Pin your eye to the line
Never let the weeds get higher
Than the garden
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
(Chorus)

3. "Sunday Shining" (Finley Quaye's version of Marley's "Sun Is Shining")

You've really got to hear it, but here's the lyrics:

Sun is shining
The weather is sweet yeah,
Makes you wanna move your dancing feet.
For the rescue,
Here I am
I want you to know y'all
Here I stand
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know y'all
That I'm a rainbow with you.

'Cause I'm a hero
Like Robert de Niro
I know an Ital Rasta man
Got to keep I heights
Protection until time
The sun is shining

War is explosive
You got to demonstrate
Don't fight
'Cause the sun is shining
For you
There's nothing else to do

Sun is shining
The weather is sweet yeah,
Makes you wanna move your dancing feet.
For the rescue,
Here I am
I want you to know y'all
Here I stand
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know y'all
That I'm a rainbow with you.

As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know now
That I'm a rainbow with you

Woh yeah test the eye
Tes' the eye...
Fear no evil
Channel like a lion
Channel like a lion
Some say - yeah
Money in my...
One on one
Money in my pocket
But I just can't get your love
Some say - yeah
And the sun is shining
Don't fight
And you got soul
And you're chopping it up aero
For you...
There's nothing else to do

Sun is shining
The weather is sweet
Makes you wanna move
Those dancing feet
To the rescue
Here I am
I want you to know y'all
Here I stand

As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know now.
That I'm a rainbow with you
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I'm rougher than rough
'Cause I'm a rainbow with you
Tougher than tough
Channel like a lion - yeah
This is some fashion - yeah
Channel like a lion

4. Before I got Married I would often blast the following as I awakened

Sex Pistols' Bodies

She was a girl from birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was pauline she lived in a tree
She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal she was a bloody disgrase

Body I’m not an animal
Body I’m not an animal

Dragged on a table in factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby screaming fucking bloody mess
It’s not an animal it’s an abortion

Body I’m not animal
Mummy I’m not an abortion

Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess
I’m not an discharge, I’m not a loss in
Protein, I’m not a throbbing squirm

Fuck this and fuck that fuck it all and
Fuck the fucking brat
She don’t wanna baby that looks like that
I don’t wanna baby that looks like that
Body I’m not an animal
Body I’m not an abortion

Body I’m not an animal
An animal
I’m not an animal...
I’m not an abortion...

Mummy! ugh!





Now, I awaken to the sounds of my Wife and Children - I'm a lot happier now......

5. "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley...

or maybe "Light and Day" by the Polyphonic Spree

or "Fearless" by Pink Floyd

"Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles


Anything by The Japancakes

I'm sure I could think of more, but those are all real good first-thing-in-the-morning songs

6. Cut Every Corner from the Sherri Bobbins Simpsons episode.

If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job.

If you cut every corner,
It is really not so bad.
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad.
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad.

Bart: It's the American way!

Sherry: The policeman on the street
Needs some time to rest his feet.

Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!

Sherry: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat

Apu: For meat!

Sherry: And milk

Apu: And milk!

Sherry & Apu: From 1984!

Sherry: If you cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play!

All: It's the American way!
