I worked at a pizza place where a certain really lazy and annoying female cow-orker showed up at the place with a date. We proceeded to load up the juke box with “She Goes Down” By Motley Crue about 10 times over. ---

It’s on the album 70’s Jukebox Hits Vol 2, so I guess it qualifies:\* It’s A Small World\*. ---

I nearly got into a bit of trouble after selecting _Star Trekkin_’ by The Firm, on a pub jukebox, back in the day. ---

Years ago I knew some guys who would go to a bar and order up [The Battle of New Orleans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50_iRIcxsz0) multiple times (occasionally in a row) on the jukebox. ---

I loved annoying everyone on camping trips with this one: [Don’t You Just Know It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzqtmdaC0Ag). Play it and just try to not sing along. ---

The dive bar next to my college taught me two things: 1) we won’t leave at last call even if you turn out the lights. 2) having 15 people all select Clarence Cater’s ["Strokin’"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeCq5EFTcaU)in a row REALLY pisses off the regulars. 😃 ---

Reminds me a bit of DJ stunts. True story, I have a friend that’s a radio DJ. When it came out in '99, she played **Len** - ‘Steal My Sunshine’ on non-stop loop for 2 hours before getting a call from her boss to stop. Surprised she wasn’t fired 😃 ---

Good stuff guys! What I thought of, when I first thought of this, is when I was in college the student union had a 45 by Yoko Ono. On one side, “Wind.” (“Who has seen the wi-ind [gasp] neither you nor I…”) On the other side, “Don’t Worry Kyoko” which consisted of, uh, screaming. But outside of that one student union I never heard either of these two songs–and trust me, they were both super, super annoying even when played once. I just figured they were too obscure. “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies was also on that jukebox. Also played for annoyance value only. “Muskrat Love” is a definite contender. I had forgotten that one. So, uh…thanks? ---

> [@madsircool](#): > > That’s a very good song. Twelve times in a row?:eek: I frequented a bar in a very small town that had a juke box that was regularly changed every ten years or so. It had fifty, maybe more songs that played repeatedly all the time. You like your _Rhinestone Cowboy_? When Punky was there we heard it at least 8 times per evening. _Chantilly Lace_? Ten or fifteen. _My Dingaling_? Every ten minutes. Fuck that shit. ---

> [@racer72](#): > > 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. FWIW, the Book of Rock Lists in its list “Dubious Recording Achievement Awards” chose the “They’re Coming to Take Me Away” flipside as “Most Obnoxious Song to Hit a Jukebox.” Meanwhile, “Paralyzed” by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) was declared “Worst Song Issued by a Major Record Label” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-annoying-song-you-could-play-on-an-actual-jukebox/802058.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-annoying-song-you-could-play-on-an-actual-jukebox/802058.md?page=6)
