I once did that on St. Patrick's Day but with $20 worth of Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies. Except for I hit every bar in town.

Get there, get a pitcher of beer with green food coloring, order up $20 worth of Drunken Lullabies, then go on to the next bar once it starts playing. I think most of them were like 2-3 plays per dollar so 40-60 times...

By the time I had gotten to the last bar, there were a couple people crying. Like EVERY single bar in town was only playing Drunken Lullabies all day.

My God it was glorious.

Can’t bar tenders usually skip that shit?

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Except right between the 7th and 8th playing of Rockstar, I put Photograph.

Nickelback is the new Tom Jones.

[–] thanevim@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say that's Not Unusual at all...

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

What's new, pussycat?

[–] thanevim@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So that's how you get a crowd of people to be happy with hearing Photograph!

[–] Waffles@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Well every time I do, it makes me laugh.

What’s new, pussycat? WHOAAAAAAOOOAAAOOOAAAAAAO

[–] lingh0e@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

Bwap-Bwap-Bwaaaaamp!

I hate to be that guy, but all the stories in this thread are fake because the bartenders can just skip the songs. For exactly this reason. As if the people who designed these machines didn't think of this exact thing.

[–] Rekonok@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

I m the bartender and I will not skip the song I want to see them suffer.

Also there is no other bar around so they will come back. With fear.

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

They might even skip songs they don't like. If you don't want me playing Lamb of God why the fuck is it available in the jukebox?

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they know they can? I'm guessing they need the app to do it. I'm guessing, because I've successfully done this twice.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There is a physical remote control device for the touch tunes machine which can be used to control the volume and playback and stuff.

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And they all have this? I've seen bartenders go all the way up to the machine and use and pay like a regular customer when I'm sure they would've used the remote if they had it

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That just ruins the fun

[–] mjsaber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Some bars, but not all. I have worked a few places where they don't let us skip the jukebox.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know about these modern things like shown in the meme, but all the juke boxes in my area when a place has one at all, is old as fuck (most of them still use 45's) and can't skip songs. At least, not without unplugging and resetting the whole machine.

First thing that came to mind lol

[–] mjsaber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I prefer to do this with "Do you believe in life after love". We call it a Cher bomb.

Best part is it's basically a bell curve of how into it people get. Starts off alow, maybe one or two. By the third play, most of the bar is feeling it. And then all downhill from there

If Toby Keith sang it and threw in a line or two about killing Muslims while waving a flag they'd still play it 4 times a day on every country station.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That song is a banger, I'd chill for a while.

[–] LurkNoMore@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, the band gets their 10 cents, the jukebox gets its money, and the bar mutes the jukebox....

I don't see how this makes any sense.

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We have a skip button on the jukebox remote; somebody played Nickelback two separate times during one of my shifts last week, and I just skipped it both times.

This kind of thing happens periodically and you have to skip certain songs for the greater benefit of the bar. If somebody complains that I skipped Monster Mash or whatever I'll give them a dollar back.

[–] Saneless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mmmbop is a banger though

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed

over and over

[–] Chenzo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

wait. is this some kind of programable universal remote? like those things that would shut off any tv within 20 feet or whathaveyou?

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

kinda,
btw my old phone had a programmable ir blaster, had a ton of fun with it!

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't always hate Nickelback (I know, I know) but I absolutely hate Rockstar.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For me, it's Crank That by Soulja Boy..

So...What's new pussycat?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Can you actually play a song back-to-back on a jukebox?

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I used to do this as a kid at Pizza Hut except with Cher’s “Do you believe in life after love” song. Made ‘Book It’ trips that much better.

[–] CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

I did this with "The Final Countdown". It was a really popular and a bit repetitive.
