Song
The Alarm Clock of Justice song was performed by myself (main vocals), and my brother (guitar, secondary vocals).
It is a song designed for us as an alarm. You can redistribute it and whatever, but just give us credit.

Long Description
The Alarm Clock of Justice wakes your computer from standby
and hibernation to play an alarm consisting of movies, music,
CDs, and/or running programs, scripts, batchfiles, and ANY type
of file your computer knows how to run. Alarms can also include
web addresses and a built-in reminder system can speak reminders
with a customizable display (including flashing random colors).
Volume effects include unmuting the volume, setting the volume to
a certain level, random volume, and alternating the volume between
two customizable levels for four customizable amounts of time.
Built in support for Windows Media Player is included, and used as
a backup in case your regular media player reports an error. Waking
from standby and hibernation is customizable with the amount of
time to wake up from before your alarm plays, whether to enable
"insomniac mode", and whether to play your alarm if your computer
wakes up within a customizable amount of time (default: 60 seconds)
of the alarm. It runs in the system tray and can optionally run at
startup with a specific configuration. The time format is
customizable (24 hour or 12 hour). Extensive tests are included to
make sure your computer can wake from hibernation and standby.
Configurations allow for unlimited alarms.
