$1 in jukebox

I was working on a movie in upstate NY about a year and a half ago...we'd hang out at this kind of Irish/biker bar a lot and we played Glen Campbell incessantly on the jukebox. I've found that almost nobody doesn't love them some Glen Campbell so:

Southern Nights
Rhinestone Cowboy
Sing (Travis Cover)
Wichita Lineman

Reactions: TheReceder
AC/DC - Have a drink on me
Thorogood - One scotch, one bourbon, one beer (I drink alone is overplayed)
Hendrix - Red House
Squier - The stroke

Anyone in the bar gets mad about any of those, then it’s time to put on a Slipknot track and get to brawling.

Britney spears. Toxic
Billy Ray Cyrus Achie breaky heart.
Nickleback. Pretty much any of their songs... they sound the same to me. (Levis76... be scared... we think alike)
Starship; We built this city.

Before I do it.. I make sure that my bar tab is paid....

I run... and find another bar.
 
Beast of Burden
Rebel Rebel
What’s so Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding
Cigarettes and Alcohol

First three are classic, underplayed songs that have appeal across all generations. The last is an oasis song, which is a turnoff for many, but in a bar setting is basically the perfect song.
 
Fun thread. I like the pi$$ people off question better but to conform to the parameters of the question:

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
High Hopes - Panic! At the Disco
Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks

And because I can't resist, to pi$$ off the crowd:

"Scream" - Black Flag
Einstein on the Beach Knee Play 3 - Philip Glass
Arc - Neil Young
I Like to Move It - Alvin and the Chipmunks
