Hey Baby It's Time to wake up!

My favorite clock is by far the clock I have come to call "The Hey Baby Clock" and for ten years I have yet to find a clock that is as ingenious, adorable and as durable as the "Hey Baby"
It was really by sheer chance how I landed my clock, when I was younger-my mother, brothers and I were walking through the mall and we came upon an adult novelty store which my mother didnt approve us going into but in the front of the store sat a sale table and on the table was the clock, we would have never known what the alarm sounding was like if my younger brother wasnt as ADD as he was, needless to say we all loved it and when we went to check out my mother realized she had left the checkbook in the car and when we came back the clock was gone...we tirelessly searched for months to find the clock but to no avail and then one day we just came upon it at a linens store, and since then I have not let go of it.
The clock itself looks somewhat like a child's clock, it is of a chicken, wearing black sunglasses and holding a blue guitar and within the belly of the guitar is an actual clock, but its appearance wasn't what made me fall in love, it was the alarm.
Every morning for the past ten years I have awaken to the sound of my "hey Baby" clock and it has yet to get old, I still smile when my alarm goes off...and that in itself is a miracle. The clocks alarm is a song and having owned the clock for ten years I could most likely sing it backwards. The alarm the clock sings is as follows. "Hey baby, its time to wake up, come and dance with me, come and dance with me." The beak of the chicken even moves as so it were to sing along with the song. It's a happy, light and cherry alarm to wake up to and it defiantly beats the monotonous noise of regular alarm clocks.
Not only is it just an awesome clock but it has lasted me years, I LOVE my clock, its great. I have bought at least five by now for nieces and nephews and birthday gifts for friends children. It's really appropriate for any age and to be honest I don't think I could wake up without it.
