Power up your alarm clock with He-Man and friends

We have to admit, after having seen software engineer Douglas Gray lovingly transplant the heart of a He-Man Talking Alarm Clock into one of Sony's ubiquitous Dream Machines, that maybe we were a little cruel when we performed all sorts of horrifying childhood experiments and unnecessary surgery on the most powerful man in the universe and his MOTU posse. Nonetheless, we've got the old power of Grayskull flowing through our veins again, maybe even enough to follow Doug's step-by-by step guide on gutting the salvaged toy and wiring it to the buzzer output of Sony's cube. Yeah, waking up to He-Man and Teela rapping about Skeletor every day for the rest of our lives seems like appropriate penance for dismembering poor Man-at-Arms and using a magnifying glass to scar all three visages of Man-E-Faces. Sorry guys.

that was painful enough to hear once during the day. waking up to that would be hell.

Oh man...I have a hard time waking up...but i bet i would be up before that damn message was played at 7am every morning!

I thought it was He-Man and She-Ra not Teela.

She-Ra was He-Man's Twin for marketing to females : http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/pop/index.shtml

I was just pointing out that I think the story was referring to He-Man and She-Ra not He-Man and Teela.

From the MAKE article:

"He Man, Its Teela
we've been called again
we must not let Skeletor keep us from our friends."

"Then call with me Teela:
Its time to wake up
smile and be happy
brush your teeth and make it snappy
we never fail with our wake up verse because we're the Masters of the Universe."

Teela - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teela

She trained Price Adam (He-Man) and fought in many battles with him.

Man, I used to recite the intro to that show ALL the time! So disappointed when the 'new' He-Man cartoon didn't go anywhere (and Dolph Lundgren... don't even go there).
