This clip started as a homemade voice sample recorded with Audacity and credited to KME2-TV Studios in Halifax, Virginia, as part of the Land-O-Lakes Play project with Brown Hall. It was created for a scene in which the speaker tells Taj to get off the bed before he messes it up, and that everyday domestic standoff is exactly why it travelled. Shared as a short soundboard clip, it stuck around because the ten-second warning is instantly recognisable, easy to reuse, and works for almost any lazy or stubborn sleeper.
