The jukebox song labels indicate a mixture of the hits of the day and the classic rock that people can't seem to get enough of. Who wants to hear that junk?
Here, each label actually corresponds to what the staff wants to hear. Since the songs play in order of their selection, people will punch
in Bob Marley, and when their choice is up, they'll actually get The Undertones, but (here's the good part) they won't *know* it. They'll just think their song hasn't come around yet. Then they'll probably get drunk and not notice they're listening to glorious noise instead of mindless pap.
(Inspired by the musical snobbery in the anti - cover song thread and hanging out in an insufferably stupid bar last night)

Well if I was the staff I would want
Bangs by They Might Be Giants. + |

That's okay by me, but let's not let this turn into people listing what music they would put in their fake jukebox. |
|

No, don't feel bad [sartep]. It's just that [jutta] recently tweaked the help page to say something about list-type games, and I didn't want it to go in that direction. |

I suspect this already exists, but we don't know for *sure*, right? |
|

This is baked in a boozer I was in recently - they'd accidentally somehow mixed up the numbering of the CDs on the jukey, creating some interesting results. I put on a few tracks off a compilation CD and ended up listening to The Corries of all things. It was quite funny, actually. |

The bastards in the Camden Head in Islington do this I'm sure. I suspect they have controls behind the bar that enable them to skip stuff, and to select other stuff. By the way, classic rock - junk? You take that back! |
|
| |
if everyone says its great does it become a list and thereby become not so great? |
|
| |
[slid]: I just meant stuff like Foreigner, Styx, Kansas, etc., esp. when used for "irony." See my profile for a short list of approved artists. |

couldn't you just not put crappy music into the jukebox to begin with? |
|
| |
Very good [jini]. Part of the point is that people like bad music. This makes them think they're getting what they want. |
|
| |
you could have the jukebox take your money, spit it back out and say, "why don't you drink up first" |
|

"Your request to hear Flipper, I mean Journey, will be honored after you have imbibed sufficiently." |

Dr Hook, "Levitate" <thump> <thump> |

What happens to the hapless drunks money? How about a 'pay as you play' system, whereby the payment for tracks that the barstaff unselect could be transfered to the inebriated ones tab... thus allowing him/her to enjoy the fruits of their poor musical tastes. |
