Most annoying song you could play on an actual jukebox?

Those were issued as 45s?

Slim Whitman’s Indian Love Call was powerful enough to obliterate an entire Martian Invasion.

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*.

And played on a jukebox?

And Honey I miss you, and I’m being good,
And I’d love to be with you, if only I could.

Don’t think I’ve seen “In The Year 2525” on here yet.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I remember when they did that on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. They had a tour of The Honey House.

Hard to top Seasons in the Sun, though Please Mister Please might be more fitting for the topic.

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 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. 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’"in a row REALLY pisses off the regulars. :smiley:

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 :smiley:

Oh, you want the big guns? Fine.

Hooty Sapperticker. Remember, you brought this upon yourself.

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?

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.

I assume you’re European; Paper Lace had the UK hit with that and ::shudder:: Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods had the US hit.

Equal opportunity nausea.

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”
