> [@TriPolar](#): > > Something from when she was a teenager. If she’s 40 look at the mid to late 80s. You have go deeper than the drunken memories, back to her innocence. You’ll have a great time, and she’ll jump off a bridge tomorrow. Good theory, though Anderson’s song is from 1991, so that would push it back to 1970 or so. I’ll go with [Coal Miner’s Daughter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_Miner%27s_Daughter_(song)) - something a country girl could relate to, and likely to still be on the jukebox two decades later. Also, keep in mind that she’s friendly and fun-loving most of the time. So her favorite song probably isn’t about heartbreak or bitterness. ---

Looking through the Thread now, it seems a few people actually knew that. In fact, **AuntiePam** got it in 3. Listening to it now on YouTube. Kinda wish I wasn’t. ---

On reflection, I think this chick is into serious cheese. So it is either: Escape (The Piña colada song) by Rupert Holmes or Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts or anything by Air Supply, Shaun Cassidy or Cheap Trick. ---

This would be consistent with the country music laws of jukebox time and causality laid down in the oft-covered truckin’ classic “Truck Drivin’ Man.” One of the major themes of this song is that the protaganist is going to put a (dime/nickle/quarter/dollar, depending on what decade it is) in the jukebox and play that “Truck Drivin’ Man,” despite being in the middle of recording it! ---

Well, if ye old barfly is all man-hatin’ when she drinks, or maybe it’s WHY she drinks, then she might turn around and get happy/dancey/schmoozable if she hears some good old Pat Benetar. Pick one, any one. Or a few. Hit Me With Your Best Shot; Heartbreaker; I Love Rock And Roll; Little Too Late; Love Is A Battlefield. Probably start with I Love Rock and Roll 🙂 ---

[Neil Diamond](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGvMjgLXBi0) _Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon_. When you push K-13, make sure you pop your collar and give a little “gotcha ya” point and wink at the jukebox as you walk away. The Urge Overkill cover also works if you’re in a downtown alley dive bar instead of a roadhouse dive. ---
