The Annoying Jukebox would play a random song until someone got annoyed and put money in it, either to request another song or just to make it stop.
Over time, it would learn which songs were most annoying (by how quickly patrons would pay for them to stop) and play them most often whenever the
paid-for songs ran out.
Sure, the bar would make less money on drinks (and an extra pittance on the jukebox), but it would really be more of a social statement.

In my experience, all of the songs loaded in jukeboxes are annoying. |

The bar would make less money on drinks because patrons would go elsewhere to get away from the juke box. |

Strangely enough this was baked in the 'Rose and Crown', Hereford. If there were no credits in the juke box it would start playing the CDs from start to finish. The first CD was Glenn Miller. It rarely got more that 10 seconds into the first track before one of us would rush to the jukebox to put some money in. |

Suggestion : Annoying Jukebox intercepts and stores IDs of cellular phones. Makes unsolicited "Now playing..." calls for several months following. |

This is baked in the Pizza Hut in Middletown, RI. It plays moldy oldies until someone pays to play a song. The jukebox is totally unaware of Billy Murray, Collins & Harlon, and Ada Jones, yet it remembers the 1940's vividly. |
