The following was FOIA'd out of NASA's logs
Dragon Wake-up Music: An off-key all-flute version of A-Ha’s “Take On Me”. Apparently selected by Thomas. Not broadcast on the SpaceX webcast, apparently, since we didn’t secure the rights. Perhaps SpaceX legal didn’t have enough time to contact the owner of the Youtube channel “Shittyflute”
The wake-up music in question 😆
Beautiful

Also, the FOIA request was about a near-miss the Dragon capsule had with an unknown object
“The possibility of the conjunction came so close to the closest approach time that there wasn’t time to compute and execute a debris avoidance maneuver with confidence, so the SpaceX team elected to have the crew don their pressure suits out of an abundance of caution,”
It turns out the object in question never existed. It was entered into the satellite catalogue by the Space Force for a training scenario, and never removed. Crew Dragon just had a near miss with Space Force's placeholder for the Crew Dragon capsule.
So many apologetic military brass called the console tonight...including Space Command General Dickinson’s office, asking for Jurczyk’s phone number (which we got from Metrocavage) so they could apologize.
