[quote="DGFone"]You can really here it with the new Legacy Collection release but here is what I want to know the theory of why it's there:
In the final battle between Simba and Scar: What is up with that alarm clock? [/quote]
If you're referring to that swirling, hectic instrumentation heard layered over the militaristic rendition of Mufasa's theme during the actual fighting between those two, I think those might be strings. I could be way off. It definitely isn't an actual alarm clock sound effect, just some crazy instrumentation to spice up the piece. It does hilariously sound akin to an alarm, though(more like a car alarm actually).
