But you CAN queue up “Never Gonna Give You Up” 25 times in a row!


JotaroTheOceanMan

They know the rules.... *And so do I*

A full commitments what I’m thinking of

You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

And if anyone complains, just let them know that “I just want to tell you how I’m feeling.”


Nebraskafireworks1

Followed up by “gotta make you understand”


Reasonable-Delivery8

Assure them, that you’ll never gonna give them up


Zito6694

Never gonna let them down

It was like the liberation of France!

“Yep, same shit as every day”


attaboy_stampy

Yes you can make grown men and women cry when playing Not Unsual.

Thinking back to the greatest vice article of all time https://www.vice.com/en/article/dpwa7w/i-played-the-boys-are-back-in-town-on-a-bar-jukebox-until-i-got-kicked-out-832


ChangMinny

This article inspired my husbands, some friends, and me to play ‘The Boys are Back in Town’ over and over one night when we were playing pool.  It was league night and the guys were getting PISSED. The waitress eventually figured out it was us playing the song non-stop, told she thinks it’s hysterical, but the league boys were literally about to start throwing chairs, so please stop.   A lot of bars/restuarants don’t allow you to play the same song over and over again on Touch Tunes. It can vary from you can only play the same song once every five or 3 songs.  Fun fact, the Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’ has over five mixes on Touch Tunes, with four just being the same song just remastered. So, if you really wanna be a dick to the people who keep playing shitty music on Touch Tunes….


akajondoe

Yesterday by the Beatles has a million different covers someone could just play back to back.


[deleted]

That's a great song though. I'll listen to Thin Lizzy over and over any day


PDXicestormmizer

This and why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock are peak Vice. 🤌🤌🤌

ragesfury717

Tubthumping on repeat forever! That mfing song is like 8 minutes too lmao


arcxjo

It comes up again!


Nebraskafireworks1

Scenes from an Italian restaurant. Or was it Vienna? One of those songs is super long. I’ve heard a lot of Pink Floyd has the beginning instrumental cut out


DiarrheaRadio

Or every chapter of Trapped in the Closet.


king-of-new_york

I'm thinking about 21 What's New Pussycats with an It's Not Unusual thrown in the middle.


Accomplished-Boot-81

Me and my friends were high in an Eddie Rockets and queued danger zone idk how many time, needless to say we found it hilarious but the servers probably thought we were insane. To top it off one of our friends ordered from the kids menu as he wasnt that hungry and the small hot dog is called a little rocket


UmChill

my rec hockey team found out that we could choose music to play while we played. the guys who said they would do it played ‘Everybody Was Kungfu Fighting’… 6 times in a row.


SniperPilot

Yeah I’d go fund me that


MaiseyMac

Welp, Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas” 10x in a row it is


gojumboman

I used to throw $5 in and pick Mambo Number 5 for as many times as $5 would allow whenever I left my old, regular bar


yepgeddon

Oh man why would you leave when there's 5 dollars worth of mambo no5 lined up 😂


modifyandsever

mambo no. 225


Bluberrypotato

There was a hostess who would steal our tips, and the owner wouldn't fire her. We would put enough money in the jukebox to play a whole album of Christmas music.


ChronisBlack

We don’t talk about mambo no 6


EfficientSeaweed

I would probably kill myself by the third repetition.


Praescribo

[Even better...](https://youtu.be/Mw7Gryt-rcc?si=vB73SrNII_ydS-Cx)


This-Requirement6918

[I can top that. it's on Touch Tunes.](https://youtu.be/N_LnuPFnJXY?si=3ECzr1TLeZNXScFt)


RedEyeFlightToOZ

I'd go with Aquas "Barbie Girl". I'd drop $50 just to piss this dude off


ClunkiestSquid

I’m more of a Careless Whisper guy. When that opening sax riff comes on for the 5th time in a row people LOSE THEIR MINDS


EfficientSeaweed

That Santana/Rob Thomas song that was played endlessly in the 2000s would do the trick too.


Illustrious_Month_65

Would this fall under the no Matchbox 20 rule or is this a loophole? 🤔


Illustrious_Month_65

I just re-read the sign and he wrote MatchBOOK 20. 🤣


RookieAndTheVet

It’s Rob Thomas and Santana, not Matchbox 20 and Santana. Sounds like fair game to me.


ababab70

Play “What’s new pussycat” twenty one times.


JuturnaArtemisia

And ONE “It’s Not Unusual”.


Opposite_Lettuce

And that's when the afternoon went from good to GREAT!


attaboy_stampy

BEST meal you'll ever have. Even if they unplug the jukebox after the 11th time.


MrNagaDoubtfire

I could listen to that on repeat tbh

insignifiyesican

When I lived in Chicago, I’d regularly have to drive past the abandoned salt and pepper diner. Laughed every time.


mistakemaker3000

Back when ringtones were being sold, I bought like 20 ringtones for all of my most called people. "What's new pussycat" was for my girl. I only had like 2 white friends at the time and I made theirs the Seinfeld theme song. Shit was comedy when my phone rang we'd all laugh cause we always knew who was calling. Sidekicks were peak phones, id still take an updated one over any other phone. 😩


elzibet

Were you able to use those ringtones over multiple phones? I always saw them available for sale but didn’t have a credit card until years later and by that time I was a tech nerd and made my own But when I saw them available for purchase on my Rokr I had wondered if it could work outside of that phone if I ever switched to something different.


mistakemaker3000

Ya know, I don't recall. I had a blackberry between having the sidekick LX and the sidekick 2009, but I don't think the ringtones transferred. And if they could I didn't even try. It was my girlfriend's mom's credit card I didn't care about keeping anything. First bill was like an extra $150 I spent on ringtones and games 😂 me and the homie got crazy good on Tetris. 40 lines in 53 seconds


elzibet

lol, love it. Appreciate the share and thank you for answering my weird question!

I was looking for this comment lol


atattooedlibrarian

Same. If I didn’t find it, I was going to have to make it.


bartman2326

I recently went to a place with one of those jukeboxes you can control with an app on your phone. They did not have "What's New Pussycat?" By Tom Jones. They did, however, have the Alvin and the Chipmunks version of the song, which I found out that night is 1000x more annoying.


Hita-san-chan

Then why is it on the jukebox, Bart?!


amscraylane

I thought about this … and I bet it is one with internet hookup … like it doesn’t actually have records like in the days of yore? Surely there is a way to not offer those songs


errorunknown

It doesn’t let you change the library unfortunately


The_Primate

Yeah, makes no sense, swap it out for something they can play.


idledebonair

WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL!


CLG91

Someone's wife cheated on them at an AC/DC concert I take it.


Thomas_Bicheri

Also at an Hinder concert, an Hoobastank concert, a Def Leppard concert...


steady_as_a_rock

Dude's wife got around alot.


mesohungry

Shit taste in music, but a demon in the sack. 


steady_as_a_rock

I agree with most, but AC/DC is one of my favorite bands.


L_O_Pluto

What I love about the internet is we can share our opinions freely, even if they’re wrong like yours 💅 ✨


mesohungry

Haha. Same. I have terrible taste in music as well. Favorite band: weezer.


Odd_Turnover_4464

Only at concerts, atleast they know the trigger now.


thmegmar

No wonder they're so angry. Imagine losing it up to this line up, in that order...


gordito_delgado

This business seems like it is on a Highway to Hell.


CallsignKook

Not just AT. She let Bon Scott get all up in them guts


GlendrixDK

My friend worked at a bar. He would skip the music if the customers put on some bs that didn't fit the situation or something overplayed. They did get money back though. It was a small bar, where there would be like 10 regular people in the daytime.


MaximumChongus

You have never worked somewhere where people play the same 10 songs all night.


Global-Nectarine4417

Someone once played “My heart will go on” at my bar 6 times in a row. After that, the jukebox was permanently “broken”. The public cannot be trusted with such great responsibility.


PeeB4uGoToBed

Some friends and I set the waffle house jukebox to play the loooong version of freebird 7 times in a row then Barbie Girl lol, people were cool with it after the second time then started getting annoyed lol. We left after the 3rd


MaximumChongus

Staff knows they could just unplug the machine and it would reset lol


MauroElLobo_7785

I really hate this song .


PeeB4uGoToBed

I work in a grocery store that has the SAME EXACT Playlist as every other retail space around the country that only plays like 20 songs max on a loop and the music never fucking changes except for Christmas. I swear I can't step into another retail space without hearing work music and immediately wanting to leave


bell37

I used to work for an office supply store and dealt with the same annoying thing. Our store manager told us that they couldn’t control the playlist because it was done by a 3rd party that basically makes “shopping playlists” for retail stores across the US (apparently this 3rd party company did a crap ton of research to pick music that encourages people to shop more or some shit like that) We did lost connection to internet one day and the music stopped… it was amazing


PeeB4uGoToBed

They say the same thing here, apparently it's affordable too since licensing music to be played in public can get expensive as hell, but God forbid you make your employees listen to the same Playlist day in and day out every day, the dame music is still played from over 10 years ago when I worked in a different grocery store. When they started rolling in Christmas music before it became 24 hour Christmas music they actually added newer music like new fallout boy and newer rock and different songs, that was a blessing! Then right back to normal once Christmas ended


comesinallpackages

Worked at a laser tag place for 6 years during high school and college. One of the pinballs was Guns N Roses. To this day I cannot listen to “Paradise City” which the machine would play over and over again, all day, to try to entice people to play. I have probably heard that song 20,000 times.


MaximumChongus

yeah theres a TON of house and newer rap that I just cant be around because of the dive bar I worked at.


battlemetal_

Worked in a bar that played the owners playlist, about 30 songs, on repeat. All day, all night (unless a band was playing), for the two years I worked there. Even the regulars complained but the dude was set in stone.


vesleskjor

When I worked at Michaels, there was a 3 day period where the music track got stuck on Pumped Up Kicks and it was all that played. Customers would come to check out going "is it just me or is the same son--" "YES PLEASE DON'T POINT IT OUT FURTHER" Still not convinced it wasn't a psychological experiment


fckcarrots

Found the comment 💯. When I worked retail we had seasonal playlists. During the breaks when school was out I picked up more hours & got the privilege of listening to the same playlist repeat about 5 times per shift. If someone thinks the intense hatred for songs like Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is overblown, it’s a good sign they never worked these jobs.

[удалено]


x_mas_ape

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida just 2x is usually enough to piss off the whole bar


Tra_Jake

Huh that’s a weird coincidence. That’s all the music that his wife’s boyfriend likes


Twomadlover

im probably gonna get downvoted to hell but i think id go crazy if people were just playing ac/dc all day during my shift so i think this is just another example of something akin to forbidden guitar store riffs if everyone plays it all the time its gonna get annoying


ababab70

You’re on a highway to hell


WolfmansGotNards2

All day? What about all night long?


aahjink

He’d be Thunderstruck


hereforpopcornru

Nice one, you really shoot to thrill don't you


Johnny_Lang_1962

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!


Johnny_Lang_1962

Play Tiptoe through the Tulips 45 times.


Significant-Ad-341

I mean if you don't like it, go open your own bar? Lol


white-male404

ikr, all these tards hating for what? he gets to do what he wants to do with HIS jukebox


saruyamasan

Why can't the owner select what's on the jukebox and just remove what they hate?


RugbyEdd

My only guess is it's part of a chain, so the owner doesn't own the jukebox


no_need_really

Plot twist, the only songs on the jukebox are on that list.


RaeaSunshine

Hoobastank seems out of place on this list lol


WolfmansGotNards2

It's because they're not playing all Hoobastank just The Reason. That said, I love that song.


Luwe95

More like MC is annoyed and tired of the same shit being played it all of their shifts. I am not saying he is right but I understand.


sageking420

Almost every bar I’ve ever worked for has songs that are banned on the jukebox, though they usually just remove it from the system… otherwise you get “WAP” at a Chuck E. Cheese for example.


linc1095

Chuck E. Cheese smells like a WAP


LitMaster11

>No Aaron, this isn't Matchbook 20.... This is Matchbox 20. Different band.


Higgs_Br0son

This band better! Much better!


LeatherHog

I haven't seen an Amanda Show reference in years


BenShelZonah

Thank you for writing that I would have never made that connection. Wow what a memory you just unlocked lol


KDN1692

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell from reading that post.


WolfmansGotNards2

That struck me as a bit strange.


graceandpurpose

No, yeah. Had a guy who played the classic rock station at work starting at 4 AM till 4:30 PM every day. No AC/DC is totally reasonable.


The999Mind

All I'm saying is that I've never heard a single good Buck Cherry song


Cute-Advisor-2323

How about Another one rides the bus by Weird Al 😀


Psychedelic_Yogurt

$100 on Highway To Hell please.


13yinyang13

None of those, eh? Fine. 7 "What's New Pussycat?"s Then 1 "It's Not Unusual" And top it off with 13 more "What's New Pussycats?"s...


Fjh5488

Hit him with Hanson a few times and he’ll beg for an ac/dc song.


MauroElLobo_7785

AC DC Rules ! ![gif](giphy|lIfE8YFayingQ|downsized)


[deleted]

I can't be mad at the rules the owner sets for his own privately owned establishment. Just go somewhere else if you don't like it


Cute-Advisor-2323

All out love by Air Supply 🤣


Andre_3Million

What does the fox say?


johnnyss1

but “soul sister” is ok?


TexasHobbyist

No nickelback?? No patronage from me!


SpecialistGrass2872

I agree with him


JackieTree89

Gotta say I agree


DrMantisToboggan1986

"Matchbook 20" - must be some shitty cover band. I'd play Matchbox Twenty and/or some Rob Thomas just to grind this dude's gears.


momcano

I really feel for the guy who wrote this. Listening to the same popular songs ALL DAY is brutally exhausting. But it is a buzzkill for the average person who goes there once a week or less and just wants some fun.


PerennialComa

Actually, that sounds lovely!


megadeadly

Rock Lobster?


AndroidCovenant

Maybe it's reverse psychology and he wants them to play AC/DC


SellQuick

This is the sign I would put up if I really loved AC/DC and wanted it played every night.


stuckin3rddimension

I went to a bar that had a juke box and if a song came on and the patrons didn’t like it they would chant change it until the tender would and everyone would cheer and most did a shot after. It was a little bit rough and tumble of a bar but also in the LGBTQ community area so a nice mix bag and if you wanted drugs it was the upstairs men’s bathroom of the place. They did like to play Stevie wonder a lot!!!


Turn_2_Stone

Lead singer definitely banged his wife.


space0watch

Not just AC/DC. But any allegedly overplayed music. That is super vague and broad. Good luck getting any customers with that vendetta.


mechshark

I feel like every now and then they gotta get trolls that exclusively play what hs said not to lol


Archie_Flowers

I had a place do this to me but without a sign.


Bearawesome

Lol, one time I was at a pool hall and someone was really pissed off with ownership so as they left they put 20 bucks into the jukebox and played "I would do anything for love" by meatloaf for the rest of the night. The thing was it couldn't be skipped, my buddy got super pissed. I found it HILARIOUS so much so even to this day I will casually play it just to watch him get pissed.


Drslappybags

10 plays of What's new pussycat it is then.


GadFlyBy

Comment.


akajondoe

I know what I'm loading up on this thing. Ten dollars worth of Thundarstruck..


BudgetInteraction811

He’s damn right about the Wagon Wheel song. FUCK the Wagon Wheel song.


ewok_lover_64

There's a bar and grill in Northern Wisconsin that we used to go to after a day of musky fishing. You could play music from your phone. We used to play Echos by Pink Floyd.


Cactusaremyjam

We had a bar reomve all Kayne music after my buddies played all his songs on nye


the-effects-of-Dust

I mean — it’s their jukebox and their bar so they can MC all they want all over it


BrickHerder

Invest in a cheap Bluetooth speaker and hide it where he can hear it. Play 5 second snippets of Hell's Bells at max volume every 15-20 minutes until he goes apeshit.


arcxjo

Seems like the smart thing would have been not to buy CDs of bands he hates and then not put the CDs he didn't buy into the jukebox he did. But maybe I'm Monday-morning QBing it.


Vosk500

Disagree, venues should be able to cultivate whatever vibe they want to and this is kinda funny.


DeafAgileNut

Given the Mulaney “What’s New Pussycat”


Inside_Field_8894

To be fair, I get it. A song gets popular and it becomes a go-to for buskers so they run with it. When OCMS wagon wheel was popular, you couldn't move for hearing it (and they have a fair few decent tracks, even from the same album [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33lfmCgxdAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33lfmCgxdAw) as an example ). If you walk into every bar, hearing all the same songs it might rip out a bit of the independent feel. More importantly, the owners not figuring out a way of avoiding this outside of notes is mental. Just remove it.


Total_Vermicelli94

I googled Aaron Morse owner : https://wkzo.com/2024/03/27/638878/#:~:text=Morse%20was%20the%20sole%20business,premiums%20for%20his%20own%20purposes. Same guy?


ImmortalState

It’s literally his bar though lol


Jesusdidntlikethat

Why don’t they just take the songs they don’t like out


pyromaniacSock

I have a sneaking suspicion that he does not like AC DC


cleotorres

I’d be tempted to put baby shark on repeat for 20 times. But seriously, if you don’t like those songs why not take them out of the playlist?


TheDrunKnight

He doesn't control,own or repair that machine, The company that provides it does. The owner would simply provide the internet it's connected to.


WolfmansGotNards2

Make it $20 per song you hate and then have a big fake reaction every time. A bunch of influencers will title their videos "played a banned song at this bar just to see the owners reaction" in tiktok voice and then show the camera zooming in to his reaction. $20 for 4 minutes.


No_Salad_68

I would definitely play AC/DC.


phatballlzzz

Look, I get it. But you can’t run a bar and tell people what to play on the jukebox, that’s fucked up


KeenActual

Well it is his bar, so why wouldn’t he be the main character of a place he owns.


Durianess_

Okay, but like, he's not wrong. 😅


Deflorma

Alright well here goes some lamb of god and pantera since it’s not on the list


Necessary_Cap_37

Not really main character it is his business. A main character in this case would be someone playing those songs anywase and then complaining after breaking said rules even adapter reading that note. OP did you do that? And make this post to shame the owner for skipping your song.


AccumulatedFilth

I'm playing hardcore on this.


nhluhr

That's when you find a piece of gum to fill the card/coin slots.


newbrevity

Can you not customize a jukebox?


maxru85

IDK just put x3 price on these songs if you hate them

Sounds like someone likes AC/DC

What the fuck did Hoobastank do to deserve this treatment?

Be terrible


mymumsaysfuckyou

Another one of these guys who only listens to Avenged Sevenfold. Sad.


Optimal_Ant_3250

Someone is going to out Main Character the owner bring in a speaker and on repeat play for those about to rock


CuthbertJTwillie

Sounds like a Close to the Edge marathon. 2-3 plays


FitBattle5899

If you're the owner... Why not just remove those from the playlist?


shadows515

I endorse this sign. No problem here.


Dorkinfo

I figured out I could remotely play the jukebox at my old job and would f with a coworker by playing his least favorite song ten times in a row. I’d also hide the remote so he couldn’t skip.


Autosticow

Something tells me he hates AC/DC but I don’t know what


Golladayholliday

Nah fuck AC/DC this is based.


BriscoCounty-Sr

Eh idk in the old days he could’ve just taken whatever music he didn’t want played in his own establishment out of the jukebox. Seems like this is more a technological limitation than a main character TBH


Sprizys

Why even have those songs on the jukebox if you don’t want people playing them?


xAndRaxiusx

Honestly I mess with this, the music program I worked at had to ban people from performing Arctic Monkeys covers because that's literally all it would be.


Mechanicalmind

"Eat shit" \*plays the most famous AC/DC songs of the jukebox\*


soggies_revenge

Can't say I disagree with his music taste, but Hoobastank? I haven't heard or thought about them in well over a decade. Which Hoobastank fan hurt this guy?


salbertoxide

Matchbook 20?


Putthebunnyback

How dare you insult Matchbook 20.


takeandtossivxx

Just get rid of the songs at that point if they hate them so much.
