....and then walk out, swiftly.

 

[aprod]

I don't play the juke box. I'm there to do a show.

 

[BOOG]

You’re in a bar with a jukebox and you get 4 songs for a dollar. If you piss off more than 1/3 of the bar, you’re 86ed for life. What do you play?

Go.

Ramble On
Moondance
Demolition Man
Stuck In the Middle With You

 

[tlite]

Wait... is it 2/3 or 3/4 of the bar? I was at a bar last night with 2 people. What if there are only 2 people in the bar?

Carry the one, divide by pi, and multiply the quotient by the metric length of the bar.

 

[Doctor J]

Genuine question from abroad: what is getting 86’d? Is it like getting 69’d? If so, I’m all ears.

Ghost Town - The Specials
Ghost Town - The Specials
Ghost Town - The Specials
Ghost Town - The Specials

Just like a proper catholic disco! Result!

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Put another dime in the jukebox, baby.


I'm A-1 on the jukebox, and nowhere in the charts.


Turn up that jukebox mighty loud.


...and let the Juke Joint Jump.

 

[Picton]

And We Danced, by the Hooters
Walk, Don’t Run, by the Ventures
Lust for Life, by Iggy Pop
Livin’ on a Prayer, by Bon Jovi

Nicely eclectic. Each song will piss off a quarter of the clientele, but not necessarily the same quarter as the other songs.

I can think of songs I'd rather hear, but I think these would fli.

 

[MegaSwing]

Something Motown, something Memphis, something British, and something Nashville.

86'd means "thrown out" it's a relic from prohibition and had it's origin (rumor has it) from Chumley's (a speakeasy located at 86 Bedford in Greenwich Village) 86 (term) - Wikipedia

Hung out a lot at Chumley's before the building collapsed back in the mid 2000s...historic place that's not what it used to be

 

[GBBSbassist]

I'm going to pretend the goal is to intentionally anger the bar crowd.

I play this four times in a row.

 

[monkeyland]

Meatloaf, I would do anything for love 4 times in a row, then find a new bar to hang out at.

 

[Wfrance3]

BTO - anything (you pick)
Sam & Dave - Soul Man
Marley (or Clapton) - I Shot The Sheriff
Paul Simon - Call Me Al

What do I win?

 

[Groove Doctor]

Centrefold - J. Geils Band
Uptown Funk - Bruno Mars
Cherry Pie - Warrant
Shake A Tail Feather - Ray Charles

That’ll get some serious booty shakin’, and the drunk guys will ogling so won’t even notice the song.

Walk, Don't Run - The best surf tune EVER. Excellent choice.

 

[FutureTense]

I haven't seen a jukebox that's that cheap for a while. That being said, here are my plays to appeal to crowds around this area:
Gin Blossoms - Follow You Down
A-Ha - Take on Me
P!nk - Raise Your Glass
Eminem - Without Me

If I'm planning on purposely making people question who played the jukebox, I go with (not that any of these are bad, just disliked by a good number of bar crowds especially played back to back):
Die Antwoord - Cookie Thumper or Xpen$iv ****
Mike Watt - In the Engine Room
Gogol Bordello - I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
