A goofy idea to entertain the family
A goofy idea to entertain the family
Son goes crazy in a good way or bad way?
Like I can imagine a 4 year old going wild with excitement cause the parents are home. Or a 14 year old cringing hard
99I have this set up automatically with our smart speaker thing. Whenever it detects someone arriving at home, it plays a jingle from a playlist I set up for the purpose. They are all short - I think the longest is about 30s. They are intros from TV shows and jingles from videogames.
51Ok, I need to copy this.
13Please elaborate, what do you use for this?
6The “Shortcuts” app for iPhone. Not sure what the Android equivalent is.

This is brilliant, how do you go about doing this?
3
one day switch it up and play John Cena's wrestling intro
20🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺
3
Add a smoke machine and some fireworks and every time you come home it's like walking into a WWE ring
44flicker some smart lights too
11Yess I need to find me an app to connect these things. Maybe something like If This Then That? Or maybe the apple automation app (whatever it’s called) can do this.

I can only imagine John Cena music for which my son goes crazy

Somebody...
45this is so easily what I'd make mine
18I genuinely didn't recognize what song you were referring to because the "some" was not stretched and "body" was not emphasized 😂

'Imperial March' just before arriving would be awesome
41The original, or the metal version?
6Start with the original, and when they tire of it, move to this fantastic version!

Cues up "What New PussyCat?" by Tom Jones
......
BWAH BWAH BWAH BWAH
WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT
WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
23But 21 times before you come in, with another song thrown in about 12 or so in just to confuse them
13It's not unusual
3
The Rocky Theme would be my choice, maybe the original Hawaii 5-0.

I can't help but imagine the son doing tippy taps like my dog does whenever I get back from work 😂
12My kids used to go crazy when I would get home from work. Cherished memories.

My family does this!
Every time my son hears the first couple lines of "boats and ho's" he goes nuts.
No idea why another dude always walks in at the same time as the music's going, but they've assured me he's just the plumber doing regularly everyday maintenance and the theme song is for me.
9My dogs would fucking love this. They love when we play music in general, and would totally get excited for a dedicated "daddy's home!" Song
20I would definitely play the Seinfeld intro theme. Slap bass intensifies
10Gotta have the audience cheer when you enter too. I would just have a sitcom soundboard ready for the full effect.
11"This is the worst case of intronitis I've ever seen. You can even hear the theme music."

I would absolutely take mine from pro wrestling. Mine would either be "Here Comes the Money" by Naughty by Nature or the entrance music for Road Dogg
13"Bah gawd, that's daddy's music!"
4Excellent choices!
3OH, YOU DIDNT KNOW?
YOUR ASS BETTER CAAAAALLLLL SOMEBODYYYYYY!
2I would say glass shatters but would worry about home alarm systems freaking out or just pavloving the kid to not react appropriately to the sound of glass shattering lol
2
Depends on what song, like, girls want to have fun is a great song for your mum to make an entrance with, peaches - fuck the pain away is a different story.
8Chariots of fire
In slow motion
5Sometimes when I get out of bed and I can hear my partner and kids doing stuff, I’ll walk out playing Sirius or Gonna Fly Now loudly on my phone.
Usually my 3 year old daughter will be like “Dad, we’re doing THIS now!”
8Sirius is an inspired choice

I used to play the Beatles' "Here Comes the S[o]n" on the speakers downstairs when I brought our first child downstairs after naps. My wife thought it was funny the first time, but after that it was all like "please don't stop my playlist for your pun" and I'm like "it's a literal dad joke!"
Now that son is old enough to start his own music and I totally get it. "Hey, I was listening to that!"
4Stealing this for a couple of timer

Looking over the responses, I'm surprised no one said they'd play "Never gonna give you up." by Rick Astley. I say why not rickroll your family whenever you get back home.
4JOHN CENA
5Keep rollin rollin rollin
1That's my ring tone

I kind of wonder how to do this. All of my"house speakers" can't be turned on remotely. I'm guessing it's a smart speaker.
3Yeah. Seems cool, but I would prefer to not leave everything that happens in my house potentially exposed through completely unnecessary network traffic.
Perhaps you could do it with Bluetooth, depending on the range of the signal.

When he's older, you'll have him conditioned and can just play your intro at any tume to watch him get confused. Won't work for long, but those first few times will be golden.
6That's a great idea
5Nice to meet you, Johnny boy!

Doo dooo do dooooooo
3Sounds like this guy's "wife" is Siri/Alexa... 😶
