The Best Songs To Wake Up To

The episode of 'Billy and Lisa in the Morning' centers around a lighthearted yet engaging discussion about the best songs to wake up to, inspired by the Artemis II crew's in-flight wake-up playlist. Hosts Billy Costa (absent, in Paris), Lisa Donovan, and guest Mikey V explore personal wake-up songs, sharing their own picks and reacting to listener submissions. The conversation dives into the emotional and psychological impact of morning music, acknowledging how even the most uplifting songs can become tiresome with repetition. The hosts highlight tracks like Coldplay’s 'Viva La Vida,' Jay-Z’s 'PSA,' Avicii’s 'Wake Me Up,' and Carrie Underwood’s 'Before He Cheats,' while also celebrating the cultural resonance of songs like 'Walking on Sunshine' and 'Shut Up and Dance.' The segment blends humor, personal anecdotes, and audience interaction, with a strong emphasis on music’s power to shape mood and motivation. The episode also features updates on major pop culture events, including Noah Kahn’s SNL appearance with Matt Damon, Olivia Rodrigo’s hosting debut, and the upcoming Paul McCartney and Will Ferrell finale of SNL, all while promoting the show’s ongoing 'Talk Back for Tickets' contest.
