        I bet. I’ve seen karaoke night, it’s brutal how many shitty renditions of “fuck her gently” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” you have to sit through.

      The trick is to play one thing inexplicably awful that the bartender won’t realize is so just by looking at the name.

      Like Ram Ranch. Like, sure they’ll probably cancel it after about 20 seconds when they realize what the fuck is going on. But you still got everyone in the bar to hear about gay cowboys for 20 seconds.

        My goto is Good Lookin’ - such a generic title and sound that almost nobody recognizes it even if they’ve heard it before. Takes at least a solid minute before someone notices over the bar background noise and complains about it.

      Definitely learned that lesson, but I just wanted to listen to Dillinger Escape Plan in a college bar.

    I used to study in a cozy little cafe that was a row of houses turned into business. Next door was a bar that could get a bit rowdy sometimes. They had one of those jukeboxes with an app. I would load up Hotel California every chance I got. I could barely hear the music but I could hear the patrons groan every 30 minutes or so. One day the song option wasn’t there, so I switched to American Pie by Don McLean.

    I’m sure they hated me.

    I found a ten hour loop of in the air tonight that never gets to the drum break. Takes surprisingly long before anyone notices.

    I’m through with standing in line to clubs I’ll never get in,

    It’s like the bottom of the 9th and I’m never gonna win,

    This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be…

    (That’s right. Fuck y’all; I like Nickelback 😤)

    Well you know what they say:

    I’m through with standing in lines to clubs I’ll never get in,
    It’s like the bottom of the ninth and I’m never gonna win,
    This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be

    I like Nickelback…I just think they were overplayed back in the how you remind me / someday days… But the band is pretty decent

    I have a friend who is unapologetically a weirdo (really that describes most of my friends and myself I suppose, but this story is about one of them in particular)

    We’re at a bar for his birthday. This place was formerly a real dump of a dive/biker bar but has cleaned itself up a bit. Still kind of a dive, but it’s a nice dive. It’s located practically right on the border of a really shitty town and one that’s generally pretty nice, so it gets an interesting selection of patrons there.

    He’s a regular there, he actually lived in a small motel attached to the bar for a bit while his house needed some major repairs.

    Again, he’s a bit of a weirdo, it’s his birthday, he’s been drinking, and he wants to listen to some Disney song (I’m pretty sure it was “part of your world” from the little mermaid) so he goes and queues it up on the jukebox

    And the song never plays

    So he does it again. And again it never plays.

    Eventually he figures out that the bartender (what was new and didn’t really recognize him as a regular) was skipping it when it came up.

    We ask her to just let it play for him for his birthday, she refused

    So he queues it up about 10 times in a row, she can’t skip them all fast enough, it finally starts playing, she’s getting mad at us,some asshole dudebros in the bar are getting annoyed that this song is now playing twice, and we’re all politely yet firmly asked to leave.

    So we fuck off to another bar owned by the same person, we’re welcomed in, they let us play the damn song, they mention to to the owner who apparently told the bartender who was giving us issues to chill and there hasn’t been any issue since.

      I’m sorry for real, but this story wasn’t worth the time.

      E: I still upvoted for the effort

    I can’t remember the band or the song, but there was a jam band song that went in for 40ish minutes at a bar I used to go to. You could play it four times for a dollar.

      There was a pool hall/bar in lake Park called mizrack’s that had an old school juke box that would physically pull a cd like the record playing ones of yore. I played “supper’s ready” by Genesis 10 times with a $5 bill before getting one beer and leaving. I used to be a terrible person, I still am, but I used to be as well.
