No mention of “The Bird Is the Word”?!? :eek:
ISTM Afternoon Delight by one-hit wonder Starland Vocal Band would be pretty hard to take after about the 4th repeat. ![]()
From wiki I learned that somebody did a country/western cover during the original’s heyday. :eek: It too charted. I wonder how much he paid for the rights?
Anyhow, for those who (like me until a few minutes ago) have never had the pleasure: Johnny Carver twangs him some Afternoon Delight.
Wouldn’t it be nice if today the USA was as obsessed with sex and as disinterested with politics is as it was in 1976?
This was a key plot point in the 1994 film PCU.
“Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen. I’ve always LOVED this righteously idiotic record, but two in a row would be my limit.
Interesting.
The way I was told an old-fashioned juke box works would prevent multiple plays.
Selecting B-17 for example raises a detent pin at row B position 17. When the control reader passes over it, it plays that song and resets the pin.
If you select the same song repeatedly, it sets the pin on the first one and the rest set the pin that is already set, so when the control reader hits it, it plays. Once. :smack:
It also means that songs do not necessarily play in the order selected. :dubious:
You all must have been using an updated version with electronic selectors and some sort of memory holding the requests.
I’ll play.
“Spirit In The Sky,” Norman Greenbaum. I hate this song with a passion and it was in every jukebox at every dive I went to. “One Tin Soldier” pales in comparison.
Were there every any jukeboxes that had that hit by the Onēders? Because that thing got old about halfway through the movie.
Bobby Goldsboro’s Honey will peg the Annoy-o-meter.

I must have been a pre-teen at the time, but I remember my family going out to this ‘bar and grill’ type restaurant with my parents friends and their teenaged kids. The kids put this song on… over and over and over again, and their parents got really pissed off:
In the Year 2525
I have that soundtrack on CD! Livvy Tyler make me heart go pitter pat! Mr. Downtown will probably be by, soon, to give you the scolding you deserve. ![]()
The first thing that came to my mind when I started reading this thread was this song by Weird Al Yankovic:

My vote for most annoying goes to:
It’s a gas! by Alfred E. Neuman
And worst of all: Lovin’ you
Those really high pitched notes are like nails on a chalk board to me
Probably only the last one could be found on a juke box.
Slim Whitman’s* Indian Love Call*. Makes my head want to explode.
You and the Martians. ![]()
I frequent a chat room where the owner has come up with an online jukebox system. You type in, ‘DJ play xxxx’ and the computer will play the song.

“She ran calling Wildfire…”
2 pages too late, but yeah, that one would be bad.
One St. Patrick’s Day long ago, somewhere in D.C., I walked into a random bar filled with paper leprechauns and green beer. Righteous indignation overcame me as I decided I’d been subjected to enough crappy bar theme nights. I slid a $5 bill into the jukebox, set it to play 24 consecutive “MacNamara’s Bands” by Bing Crosby, walked back out, and came back a few hours later to find they’d unplugged it for some reason.
My exact first thought when I read the OP heading.![]()
At Papa Ginos my daughter and I play these 2 songs and giggle thru it.
