the picture of this jukebox alarm clock be a bit misleading . it be somewhat smaller than I expect and look like a cheap novelty toy . but since we decorate one of we guest room as `` the Music Room '' this fit right in . it be battery operate , which be a drawback for a alarm clock if you really depend on wake on time ! it do have provision for battery backup if the main battery die . the song it play be snippet of the original artist and be kinda fun .
