I did that with three Nightwish songs once, a half hour straight of symphonic metal. People were pissed when they couldn't override my paid-for selections.
Ghost Love Score intensifies
That one and Romanticide made the list, and I think there's a good chance the last song was The Islander, but this was a decade ago.
Cannibal Corpse's Meat Hook Sodomy is a surprisingly polarizing track too
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Back when the song was super popular, I had a friend catch a ride with another friend on a 4ish hour drive to another city. How You Remind Me the entire ride
I have a friend who is unapologetically a weirdo (really that describes most of my friends and myself I suppose, but this story is about one of them in particular)
We're at a bar for his birthday. This place was formerly a real dump of a dive/biker bar but has cleaned itself up a bit. Still kind of a dive, but it's a nice dive. It's located practically right on the border of a really shitty town and one that's generally pretty nice, so it gets an interesting selection of patrons there.
He's a regular there, he actually lived in a small motel attached to the bar for a bit while his house needed some major repairs.
Again, he's a bit of a weirdo, it's his birthday, he's been drinking, and he wants to listen to some Disney song (I'm pretty sure it was "part of your world" from the little mermaid) so he goes and queues it up on the jukebox
And the song never plays
So he does it again. And again it never plays.
Eventually he figures out that the bartender (what was new and didn't really recognize him as a regular) was skipping it when it came up.
We ask her to just let it play for him for his birthday, she refused
So he queues it up about 10 times in a row, she can't skip them all fast enough, it finally starts playing, she's getting mad at us,some asshole dudebros in the bar are getting annoyed that this song is now playing twice, and we're all politely yet firmly asked to leave.
So we fuck off to another bar owned by the same person, we're welcomed in, they let us play the damn song, they mention to to the owner who apparently told the bartender who was giving us issues to chill and there hasn't been any issue since.
I'm sorry for real, but this story wasn't worth the time.
E: I still upvoted for the effort
I like Nickelback..I just think they were overplayed back in the how you remind me / someday days.. But the band is pretty decent
A group of my friends used this technique differently. We used this to get rid of assholes. The group of assholes all liked techno for some reason. So when there were too many in the bar, we chipped in for the jukebox and played around 20 metal songs in a row. The assholes were all gone after 15 min when they realized, they'll be hearing Rammstein for the next 2 hours.
You're a monster.
Only 12?
Amateur! REAL cultural vandalism should include The Beatles "Revolution 9", Lou Reed's "Metal Music Machine" and/or, of course, the particularly dense bits of Robert Wyatt.
Well... I don't know if they still have those internet jukeboxes with no manual override like they did in the UK about fifteen years ago, and the phenomenon known as wyatting surfaced.
