The 'So Wake Me Up Dog' meme typically features a canine—often a Golden Retriever or a Husky—with its mouth wide open, appearing to belt out the chorus of Avicii's hit song, 'Wake Me Up'. It gained traction across social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram as a relatable way to describe the feeling of wanting to sleep through life's minor inconveniences or early morning alarms. The meme captures the dramatic essence of the song's lyrics, using the dog's expressive face to mirror the human desire to skip over the difficult parts of the day and simply 'wake up when it's all over.' It has since become a staple for anyone who finds waking up to be a theatrical struggle.
