"Wake Up" is the fifth and final single released from Arcade Fire's Funeral album. New Musical Express ranked it the 25th best and Rolling Stone the 42nd best song of the decade, while CBC ranked it the 5th, the Mar*Star the 25th and Bob Mersereau the 29th greatest Canadian song of all time. Its anthemic sound has made it a great sports team theme song (e.g., New York Rangers, Burnley, Aston Villa) and soundtrack item.
