Most annoying song you could play on an actual jukebox?

I do not need answer fast. But the scenario is that you want to play some super annoying song multiple times. The rules here are that it has to be a record that you could actually find on a jukebox somewhere, at some time. So “All About That Bass” might qualify if it ever was released in the form, to wit, a 45, that could be on an old-fashioned, standard jukebox. Not one of those ersatz jukeboxes like they have at Johnny Rockets.

I don’t even know when they stopped doing single 45s, or even if they did. But there were always plenty of annoying songs and I don’t mind one from earlier years, as long as it would drive everybody in the bar crazy if some nut played it 15 times in a row, and it’s not so obscure that only a select few will have heard of it.

Any suggestions?

I have it on good authority that it’s 7 plays of “What’s new Pussycat”, then 1 play of “It’s not Unusual”, then 7 more plays of “What’s new Pussycat”.

Okay, that was hilarious. Thanks!

Back in college, a friend and I used to like to go into the campus recreation center (pool tables, ping pong, etc.) and we’d plunk some change into the jukebox and enter “Jingle Bell Rock” 5 or so times in a row and then we’d walk out.

Since we never waited around to see the results, I can’t say for sure that it was annoying.
It’s possible the rec center regulars each time thought to themselves, “Hey, great! THIS is happening again!”

This is exactly what I thought about upon reading the title of this thread!! :D:D:D:D:D

I have found CTA’s Free Form Guitar on actual jukeboxes. You know how a dog will turn its head sideways when it doesn’t undestand something? This song will cause a good portion of the crowd to have a similar response. (Or worse)

I remember on the TV show House, Wilson had gotten pissed off and thrown a bottle into a mirror when some guy played Billy Joel’s Leave A Tender Moment Alone some 20 times in a row, so the show’s writer had apparently grown annoyed by the song at some point.

It had happened at a medical convention and House had bailed Wilson out of jail, leading to the beginning of their friendship.

Back in 1970 if my friends and I went anywhere that had a jukebox we would see if it had Let It Be. If it did we played the B side frequently while we were there. It was generally very poorly received by other patrons who generally had no idea what it was.

Here is a pretty creditable version by a Beatles tribute band in a Sydney hotel:

The Beatels - You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) - live.

The Nickelodeon Song, by Teresa Brewer

The Tahoe Biltmore had The Allman Brothers on the jukebox. I would play Mountain Jam two or three times in a row. :smiley: Wanted to get my money’s worth.

B-17. Please mister, please, don’t do that one!
Speaking just for me, absolutely anything by Patsy Cline.

Although 5 rounds of *Jingle Bell Rock *is prank genius; I love it!

Same here; Mulaney is lucky to be alive.

Depending on the bar, you could piss off everyone before the song’s even finished. This played in some gay bars and this in some straight bars (especially the video, haha). Okay, that last one’s probably not on any jukebox.

The 7" of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart had the title track on side A, with *These Days *and an alternate take of the Love Will Tear Us Apart on side B. Side B was supposed to be played at 33rpm and, well, you can imagine how old-fashioned juke boxes coped with that.

The B side of John Lennon’s Starting Over was an awful and unlistenable Yoko song called Kiss Kiss Kiss. It was very easy to play the wrong song by mistake at the pizza place I used to go to as a kid.

Many years ago I found “There coming to take me away” on a jukebox in a small tavern in San Diego. The B side on the label was blank so I chose that selection. The B side was the song in reverse. About 30 seconds after it started the bartender some how stopped the song from playing then announced to the dozen or so folks in the bar to never make that selection again on the jukebox. He gave me and a buddy the stink eye while making the announcement.

On the other hand its one of the best videos to watch with the sound down.

The song that Neegan’s people used to torture Daryl while they had him locked up would work.

Hearing them occasionally is ok. Ten times in a row? Very irritating
