Hey baby wake up come and dance with me…
30 11 2007
It’s funny how I have such a strong connection for something that I’ve had for around 12 or 13 years. After weeks of being on a sort of hiatus, I came across a very somewhat funny comment, because I had no idea how this one thing could have such an impact on people. My little rooster alarm (with the guitar) has been my savior for being on time to so many places- school, work, church, etc. It allows me to go to sleep at like 3 in the morning and wake up at 5 or 6. Just with the sound, “Wow…Hey….Hey baby wake up and come and dance with me.” It continues until you push down on the red top. The comment that I got today was based on this rooster and if I was selling it. I can not part with this rooster because I have accumulated a lot of wonderful memories surrounding it. Some of these moments would be all the way from when my mother gave it to me when I was 6 or 7 until now where my nephews have gained a personal liking to it. Even for the amount I could sell it, (ebay sells it for $152 with 40 days until the bid is over) I know that I would be incomplete and I know that there is no other alarm clock like it. The funny thing is that my mom got it from Dillards, Montgomery Ward, or Burdines (now Macy’s) for like $6 cause their was a wrong price listed. I never really thought that I had something passed on or rare until now because I never really gave it any thought, but I do appreciate it and even keep it on its own little pedestal.
i’ve been searching for this alarm clok forEVER! my husband is always singing the “hey baby wake up …” i remember it at spencers gifts growing up.
a shame it’s such a collecter’s item now, haha!
I too have been searching for this alarm clock for years!
I used to cringe ever time I heard it from my sisters room. She would get up early around 5:45 to go to school. Now that we are all grown up and have families of our own.
I am looking for an .mp3 recording of the WOW – hey baby wake up, come and dance with me!
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the recording from this precious and memorable alarm?
As a joke I want to borrow my sisters cell phone at our family Christmas party and install the .mp3 hey baby wake up on her cell phone as the alarm.
Thanks,
JB
Hey JB,
I know there is a recording of the song if you click on the rooster pic. I would try copying the link and trying to import it into MS FrontPage or FTP it to download. That would probably be the best thing.
Hey Avera,
Thanks for the comment.
What worked the best. Click on the Clock Chicken above and listen to the “Sweet Wake Up Sound” then in your browser window click on file, Save as…. and the file should save to your desktop as an MP3.
I would then change the name to Heybabywake.mp3 or something short like hbw.mp3 so that when you load it onto your cell. You can read the whole file name.
Then BlueTooth it to your cell.
Set as your new Alarm Tone and BAM your done!
Thanks for this awesome blog to help others find the Rockin’ Chicken Alarm Clock memories.

I MISS MY ROOSTER ALARM CLOCK!!!!! That was the funnest, cutest sound produced before the sun came up EVER! Oh man. I miss that little guy. Thanks for sharing the audio.
yeah i hate this alarm clock. In college the guy across the hall had one and he would leave to go to class before he had it set to wake up, so once it did go off the rest of us would have to listen to this thing all morning long. It’s nothing if not loud.
