Recommended Western wake-up songs for junior high school students (31–40)

I Want OutHelloween

HELLOWEEN – I Want Out (Official Music Video)
I Want OutHelloween

A long-standing fan favorite by a pioneering German metal band from Germany, known for its melodic and pop appeal.

Helloween has changed vocalists twice to date, and this song is sung by Michael Kiske, who can hit the highest notes.

Hearing Kiske’s piercing high vocals would make any middle schooler jump out of their seat.

Passion’s Killing FloorHiM

A song by HIM, a gothic metal band immensely popular in Finland, especially among women.

HIM’s frontman, Ville Valo, has a very low vocal range and frequently uses falsetto.

Among HIM’s songs, this one has one of the lowest original keys and gives listeners a frightening impression.

Therefore, it’s highly recommended as an alarm as well.
