I’m sure on the Monkey Island 2 end credits, maybe also in Monkey Island 3?
here? Impossible! If @LowLevel were here, he would have been challenged you!
The “Tell me the song of your day-dream” thread. 
A *beeping* clock? From “Ransome Industries”?
No, seriously: There are alarm clocks available that are raising the volume slowly. And there are “alarm clocks” that turn on slowly a light that wakes you up. Have you tried those clocks already?
(Fortunately(?) I mostly weak up short before the alarm clock beeps.)

My radio alarm clock wakes me up by turning the radio on, which I like. I balance the volume so that it’s loud enough to wake me up, but not so loud as to make me jump.
Get up you lazy beep face!!

Maybe this is a another merch idea for @RonGilbert? 
But such clocks already exists. 
You can find “insult clocks” for Android and then there is the “Drill Sergeant Alarm Clock”. I can’t find the product page, but there is a picture here (with several other weird clocks):

Need some time away full stop. Cannot wait for late may early june to roll around. 
Me too, I almost never have to hear my alarm.
Fun fact about my alarm clock. It´s an electrical one that has an LED display and a green light by the push of a button to see the time in the dark. It runs on batteries. I haven´t changed those batteries since 2002. That´s 16 years!

Same here. But I think the clock that donates your money is the meanest of them.
Are you sure that the digits aren’t just stickers? (Hint: That’s the case if the clock shows only one time.)

'//, Bruno Munari
was a protagonist of Italian design
and was involved in the design of products of all kinds
of everyday objects,
furniture and toys,
reinventing alphabets,
making moving sculptures
also passing by the graphic communication of books and magazines
,
this gentleman
knew and could do so many things
but most of all
he loved to teach her to do with children, [???]
had already done so with his son Alberto
, and he realized that in this game of discovery and knowledge
had fun like crazy
both of them
(if you want to know more Munari and his boundless production go HERE )
,
what today
I want you to know
are some of the
USELESS MACHINE
Munari realized
in the 40s
(from the book of the same name published by Einaudi)
try to understand how they work
by reading the description of complex devices
that just described for each Munari
Thank you, but I meant:
Good morning guys; tell the truth:
you do not even like to be woken up so brutally with your usual alarm clock.
Awakening must be kinder.
Caution:
replaced, as a first operation,
at the fierce bell a decent dry sponge,
then sharpen the hour hand (1) like a sharpener blade
so that when he meets the thread (2),
that you will have stretched at the time you want to wake up, he will cut it.
A beautiful brick (3) of refractory stone painted in opaque white is hung from the wire and tied with a cord, possibly of two colors;
the brick, no longer held by the thread, falls on the bagpipe (4) and crushes it.
An ajar will come out of the bagpipe
according to the agreements you have established the night before
(remember to charge the alarm clock and also the bagpipe),
and this frog will hit a paddlewheel (5)
made with eleven starched ostrich feathers and turn it around.
Turning will roll up,
on a black pulley that you bought in Genoa,
the thread (6) that will snatch a match (yes, of the tear-off ones, naturally) from its support (7),
light it and communicate the fire to the chestnut bicarbonate steam hole (8). Soon the bicarbonate will release its typical blue flame and heat the imitation of the artificial coffee substitute surrogate in the cuccuma (let me say another time: cuccuma, thank you.
Once again, I really like: cuccuma, cuccuma, cuc. thanks friends).
In the, we said, cuccuma marked with n.9.

I investigated a few words that didn’t seem to make sense. Turns out Google Translate can’t decide what arietta means - it picked “ajar” and “frog” in two different sentences, but somewhere else I found the translation “melody”.
Arietta is a small aria (aria), so it means a light wind here. That’s how I’d call a baby fart in presence of an old lady.
But an aria can be a lot of things indeed. It can be a melody, it can be just air, it can also mean resemblance.

…but neither “ajar” nor “frog”, I’m guessing?
If not, I wonder where Google got that from…
I’m trying as hard as I can to understand from where these translation could come, but I give up. No idea
