There are a lot of great suggestions so far, but I'd like to add my M$.02.

Here Comes The Sun is good to wake up to, but there are other Beatles songs that make better alarms, namely "Good Morning Good Morning" off the Sgt. Pepper album.


Good Morning Good Morning - The Beatles

Wilson Pickett's "Hello Sunshine" is a really great song to wake up to as well. I know it best off of the movie 2 Days in the Valley.

If you really need to get pumped up on a Monday morning, though, you can't really beat Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & the Waves.

For light sleepers, Morning Mood from Edvard Greig's Peer Gynt Suite #1 is positively sublime with the initial tradeoffs of the flute and oboe until the rest of the orchestra comes in. Most people know it as the music often associated with sunrise in Warner Bros. cartoons.

For people who like tunes, but need some sort of actual alarm to wake to, the initial cacophony of ringing alarms and chimes in Pink Floyd's Time is a good way to wake up.

And if you're into the downright obnoxious, you could always put in Robin Williams' initial track from the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack. I can see this as getting annoying real fast, so this is probably better as a prank to be played on someone else.
