Sometimes when I get out of bed and I can hear my partner and kids doing stuff, I’ll walk out playing Sirius or Gonna Fly Now loudly on my phone.
Usually my 3 year old daughter will be like “Dad, we’re doing THIS now!”
Sirius is an inspired choice
JOHN CENA
I would definitely play the Seinfeld intro theme. Slap bass intensifies
Gotta have the audience cheer when you enter too. I would just have a sitcom soundboard ready for the full effect.
“This is the worst case of intronitis I’ve ever seen. You can even hear the theme music.”
My family does this!
Every time my son hears the first couple lines of “boats and ho’s” he goes nuts.
No idea why another dude always walks in at the same time as the music’s going, but they’ve assured me he’s just the plumber doing regularly everyday maintenance and the theme song is for me.
That’s a great idea
That took me a minute. I read “house speaker” as Mike Johnson.
I don’t know what he does in his spare time, so maybe?
Gotta have something to do when he’s not monitoring his son’s porn browsing
Ugh I really wish I could unlearn this fact.
Sounds like this guy’s “wife” is Siri/Alexa… 😶
‘Imperial March’ just before arriving would be awesome
The original, or the metal version?
Start with the original, and when they tire of it, move to this fantastic version!
Doo dooo do dooooooo
I have this set up automatically with our smart speaker thing. Whenever it detects someone arriving at home, it plays a jingle from a playlist I set up for the purpose. They are all short - I think the longest is about 30s. They are intros from TV shows and jingles from videogames.
This is brilliant, how do you go about doing this?
Ok, I need to copy this.
Please elaborate, what do you use for this?
The “Shortcuts” app for iPhone. Not sure what the Android equivalent is.
I used to play the Beatles’ “Here Comes the S[o]n” on the speakers downstairs when I brought our first child downstairs after naps. My wife thought it was funny the first time, but after that it was all like “please don’t stop my playlist for your pun” and I’m like “it’s a literal dad joke!”
Now that son is old enough to start his own music and I totally get it. “Hey, I was listening to that!”
Stealing this for a couple of timer
I’m gonna try this with The Final Countdown. My spouse is a huge Arrested Development fan.
Ah, one of my favorite numbers to sing to my limited captive audience. ITS THE FINAL CAT MEOWWWW
Full album will be available spring 2026. Requests welcome.
!remindme 1.5 years
Shit, I only have two songs so far. Let me rephrase: requests are necessary
Looking over the responses, I’m surprised no one said they’d play “Never gonna give you up.” by Rick Astley. I say why not rickroll your family whenever you get back home.
one day switch it up and play John Cena’s wrestling intro
🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺
