Marching Musical Astronaut Abuse

Did anyone catch today's (Friday / flight day 11) wake
up call? Perhaps not - was at 12:08 am CT. I believe it was
the Texas Aggie March or something like that...and they
played the whole 2 or 3 minutes of it...it was interminable.
While it was playing, I could tell that at least one crew
member had the same reaction that I had as a kid to
something quite similar. In my childhood, every
Saturday morning (chore day) my dad would wake
everyone in the house by very loudly playing his
German Military March record ( I guess it has
something to do with him being an ex-Luftwaffe guy ).
One of the STS-121 crew, about 15 seconds into this
Texas Aggie march, groans and croaks something to the
effect of "OK....", but the march doesn't stop...it goes on...
and on...and on.... and finally someone almost yells, "ENOUGH!!!"

I could not help but laugh out loud - I could relate all too well.

I wonder if that part will make it into today's Flight Day
highlights....
