Rush Clock

[Dylan2712]

I got this idea when i was looking at the Caravan/Bu2B single cover and thought "damn, i want a clock like that". but it should be one of those musical clocks that plays a bit of a tune every hour. If it would be at all possible to make one, what songs/clips would go good for each hour?

 

1-

2- BU2B - "Brought up TWO Believe"

3-

4-

5- working man "i get home at five oclock.."

6-

7- working man "well i get up at seven yes,"

8- In the Mood "hey baby, its a quarter to eight(actually it is 8,trolololol)"

9- 2112 -this one is a bit of a stretch, i dunno...

10- Force Ten

11-

12- Presto "a dream of a winter garden, a MIDNIGHT rendezvous"

 

my rational is that when you hear a clip of whatever song chimes, you would be reminded of a lyric, or song title that give an illusion to what the time is. songs like working man have a few references, but i'd like to avoid duplicate songs.

 

 

what do you guys think, if you had a musical rush wall clock what songs would you like to hear each hour?

1:00 - could be Body Electric "1-0-0, 1-0-0!"

Sure it's possible. Set an alarm on your phone to go off every hour and give it a different song to play as the alarm.

I like your idea (and some of your suggestions are perfect)

 

I think any Rush clock should be a 'different' kind of clock , though- one that doesn't nec. have to chime on the hour

 

so:

 

1:00 "1-0-0-1-0-0-1, S.O.S."

2:21 "2 to 1, reflection on the water"

3:00 "three travelers, men of Willowdale"

4:00 "all four winds together"

5:00 "well I get home at five o'clock"

6:00 "six stars of the Northern Cross"

7:00 "well I get up at seven, yes"

7:45 "hey baby, its a quarter to eight"

9:12 "2112"

10:00 "rising falling at force ten"

11:00

12:00 a.m."I had a dream of a winter garden, a midnight rendezvous"

12:00 p.m. "YYZ intro (it's 12 notes)"

 

 

^ still stumped for a decent 11:00!!!

On a somewhat related note, about 15 years ago or so, right after Windows 95 came out, I clipped out a line from Prime Mover and set it to be the sound that plays whenever you boot Windows. So every time I turned on the computer, Geddy would sing "activate the window, watch the world go 'round" to me

[Dylan2712]

Cygnus X-1 could be 11:00, cause X=10 + 1=11

 

bit of a stretch.

 

 

also, Twilight Zone could be 3oclock, "take it off; he's got three eyes". it could also work for four "the fourth dimension is crossed"

 

can't believe i missed ONE little Victory!!!

Good idea!

[apetersvt]

In my mind, I would go by albums (not my favorite tunes for each album but would make good 'alarms')

 

1:00 Finding My Way

2:00 Anthem

3:00 Bastille Day

4:00 2112 Overture

5:00 Cygnus X!

6:00 Hemispheres Prelude

7:00 TSoR

8:00 Limelight

9:00 The Analog Kid

10:00 Distant Early Warning

11:00 Manhattan Project

12:00 Force Ten

Seeing as it is Cygnus X-1, shouldn;t that be 9 ans it is a minus symbol?? Just a thought!

Jan is a beautiful lady, but she seems to bother a few people here. I've changed it.
