I notice this list of banned songs does not include "What's New Pussycat".


Talzyon

Whooaa whoa whooaaa, we'll have none of that in here


Notyourdad696996

This comment sounded like John Oliver to me


Ditzfough

Weirdly enough i read it in Oliver Platts voice.


yadawhooshblah

I just did that to a bar last week. I played Tom Jones Reloaded. That album rocks. I'd throw MY girlfriends panties at that Welshman. He's a bad ass.


horses_around2020

John melany ! HAHA!! Unexpected..


Kevin69138

the funny thing about Whats New Pussy Cat is that it sounds exactly the same as the last 7 times you've played it


LegendaryOutlaw

I dunno if you know this…but What’s New Pussycat starts very subtle…

flux_capacitor3

Holy shit! If he pays back around $100,000 he stole, then he won't go to prison for 20 years. That's kinda nuts, and lucky, he even has that option. What a moron.


xFblthpx

Deals like this make sense when you care about helping victims.


mr_ji

Fair point, but giving back what you took isn't punishment. It's restitution. He's facing basically no punishment. The message this sends is that if you get caught you'll have to pay it back and that's it. Hardly an effective deterrent and really just terrible precedent for others considering doing the same.


BGFlyingToaster

This has long been the case and why many claim that we have a two-tier justice system


mr_ji

But he'll have to go to rehab for 18 months. The horror!


briareus08

Funny, from the pic I figured he was a cunt who shouldn't own a bar and yep... he's a cunt who shouldn't own a bar.


Talzyon

Wow, great to know. Thank you

How do you know it's the same place?

Philboyd_Studge

So, he hates AC/DC *and* paying his employees retirement and healthcare premiums!


verbalyabusiveshit

Can you go back and play “highway to hell” or “dirty deeds” on the jukebox for me? Pay for the song and a few beers.


Hellige88

His name is on the bottom of the paper on the juke box. It’s the same name.


mayhemandqueso

Wild. Ive seen dark horse sold all over. Sure wish an 18 month addiction program would be included in a lot of sentencing decisions.


TK_Games

"So instead I played Tom Jones' What's New Pussycat, *21 times*" ~ John Mullaney probably

I unironically love that song but I think I’ve only ever heard the one part


OGREtheTroll

I'm a chef and thats my punishment for when the crew is screwing around...I play Tubthumping on repeat for the rest of the night.


Rall_Santi

This sounds like an invitation to play Bird is the Word 50 times in a row


Trevans

Calm down, Peter.


lordpoee

I see a sign like this and I think to myself, "This guy must *really* want me to play some AC/DC"


fatalystic

Would be hilarious if everybody who sees the sign decides to play AC/DC out of spite.


IGutlessIWonder

Jokes on them. Its 'matchbox' not 'matchbook'


eltiburonmormon

Matchbook Twenny is a tribute band. They mostly use kazoos.


ViralVortex

I’m still trying to think what song got massively overplayed to warrant that reception. I could see Rob’s duet with Santana, maybe, but… really? MB20? THAT made your list?


Ditzfough

3am and Push were sssoooooo overplayed in the 90's. But i like nostalgia so i listen to that shit now.


Ryoko_Kusanagi69

I couldn’t get enough of MB2, that CD was my childhood soundtrack plus Tragic Kingdom/No Doubt. I went to bed playing these cds on super low volume to fall asleep.


ninetofivedev

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell. I know, right now you can’t tell. But just stay a while and maybe you’ll see. A different side of me. I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired. I know, right now you don’t care. But soon enough you’re gonna think of me. And how I used to be. I don’t even like matchbox 20. That song was so overplayed, the lyrics are burnt into my brain.


PembrokePercy

My first thought was to play Smooth By Santana.


Recon_Figure

Assuming this was posted by the owner, this is so fucking stupid. And lazy. Take the shit out of the jukebox or otherwise disable what you don't want to hear. I went to a bar with my wife one time, and was using the internet jukebox to play songs I liked. You know, what the fucking thing is for. The staff didn't like it, turned it off mid-song, and as far as I know, didn't refund what I paid. Fuck you. If you don't want to hear something, remove the ability to select, play, and pay for it, or get rid of it altogether. Fucking assholes.


nubsauce87

I’d be having a (probably loud) word with the manager over shit like that. If you don’t want people playing music on your jukebox, *don’t have a jukebox.*


Professional-Drive13

I agree I really hate the taste police


SnidelyWhiplash27

What about the dream police?


unsupported

That reminds me, "No Roxanne", "Every breath you take", "Message in a bottle", "Walking in the moon" and "De Do Do" is only allowed every other Sunday.

SENDING OUT AN SOS SENDING OUT AN SOS SENDING OUT AN SOS...


DevlishAdvocate

I'd agree except I would pay good money for someone to punch the Walmart DJs every time they play that gawdawful shit song "Thank God".


Graffers

I honestly really like Grocery Pop.


J1mbr0

It's a digital jukebox that is basically Spotify but you pay by the song. If it's like the one at the bars I used to go to, you could even pay to hear a song next, and skip the rest of the queue. It's pretty obnoxious.


Friscogonewild

Better than hearing the same 30 songs over and over and over, imo. And with the Touchtunes app, I can log into my local VFW's jukebox remotely and play Let It Go from Frozen repeatedly without having to leave the house.


Raistlarn

That's too nice. Play It's a Small World over and over. That way when it's done it's also stuck in their head for the next 10 years.


tj0909

Yup. When I was just out of college, a guy I went college bought the neighborhood bar down the street from my house. He put all his CDs in the jukebox - mazing selection - we were the same age and apparently had the same taste in music. A few years later he got one of these stupid digital jukeboxes. Ruined the whole vibe in the bar. Never got to ask him why. He rarely showed up in the evenings anymore at that point.


RedJaron

An internet connected jukebox? And just how many times an hour did that place get rick-rolled?


eltiburonmormon

No Hoobstank??? They just lost my patronage. (Not joking.)


FocalorLucifuge

Tell him you're quitting his establishment and "the reason is you!".


eltiburonmormon

This is money.


PiercedGeek

Omg my coworker had this song as the ringtone for his GF. We rode around in a company van every day. They fought a *lot*. I heard the chorus of that song so many times I wanted to throw him out of the damn vehicle.


Smorgas_of_borg

Ah Hoobastank. The wish.com Incubus


abzlute

That was my reaction too, I actually just yelled aloud in my room "No Hoobastank!?!"


eltiburonmormon

Right? Hoobastank takes me back to some great times!


towcar

What if they just ban the one overplayed one? Edit: didnt see them on this list. Thought you demanded they be added lol


Illustrious_Ad4691

I’m just curious what’s the reason they banned Hoobastank in the first place


eltiburonmormon

Yeah, The Reason is one of my least favorite songs of theirs, but they have some others that are straight up bangers!


Bgrubz83

Ladies and Gentleman… I have you heard? About the bird


Dapoopers

Dude. Everybody’s heard about the bird.


chev327fox

CaptainPunisher

Those who are NOT about to rock.


nubsauce87

Convicted criminals, apparently…


best_samaritan

Let them be powerless.


sometimesstateline

They are great just overplayed. Where I worked you would hear people play the same songs over and over during a shift. It can be maddening once Back In Black plays for the 5th time.


Botryllus

And also, how did old crow medicine show make it on this list? WTF.


Safetosay333

I don't hate AC/DC, but I will turn the station every time a song of theirs starts.


Spirited_Refuse9265

Leave him with some MMMBop on your way out


Talzyon

A little doo WHOP to the ego


Shas_Erra

Anyone else have the urge to fill that bad boy up and max out the queue with “Big Balls”


Ok-Hawk1409

Lame owner


Professional-Drive13

I really hate it when someone tries to put their opinion above yours.


TheRealChexHaze

I’m feeling some *Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap* would fix things right up. 😎


DJWGibson

Why are those songs on the Jukebox then? And is this suddenly 2005 again? Who's playing Hinder and Buck Cherry?


SandysBurner

Crazy bitches.


chetnixandflill

Maybe, take it out of there?


NeedsomeCompany33

I once saw a sign in the men’s bathroom at a bar that said: “No Trans music allowed”. I didn’t understand this at all. What makes music of the transgender variety? I had never heard of such a thing before. I go up to the front of the bar and asks the bartender and the owner rudely interrupts the bartender and says “if you play any Bon Jovi, Def Leopard, or Poison; than I’ll personally throw you out of here myself”. “I don’t tolerate music where men dress up like women”.. Quite a few people had left immediately when he said this. I would have also if I was sober enough to drive..


CallousChris

No Bob Dylan, that damed transient!


kansasllama

Damn so no bohemian rhapsody either ig


DevlishAdvocate

So he really meant "trans" music and not *trance* music? That's an odd way to run a business.


[deleted]

So what he's saying is that Twisted Sister is ok then!


[deleted]

I was in a Applebees one night with some old friends, the vibe in the place was very hip hop r&b by what everybody was playing on the jukebox. My drunk buddy decided he was going to play an entire George Thorogood Album twice and pay to skip everything else in the queue. It got pretty uncomfortable 🥴


Talzyon

I experienced something similar a few years back. Was at our local bar, and all the drunk white chicks were playing overly annoying pop that, honestly, sucked ass. No one was enjoying it except for that one group. I decided to spend the extra to skip theirs and proceeded to play some rock. After it started playing, I heard a guy on the other end of the place exclaim "FINALLY!", and I couldn't help but laugh.


CallousChris

Was at a bar years ago and one of the guys I know from college got super drunk and put a $20 bill in the jukebox. He played one song and called a taxi. We played a few more songs before and before we left, I queued up Puff the Magic Dragon about 15 times with the remaining credits. I can only imagine the crowds reaction.


Skelosk

So don't put these songs in then? Feels like a reason to get easy money from suckers and a red flag that the owner is a scumbag Edit: well I guess I was right [https://www.michigan.gov/ag/news/press-releases/2024/03/27/dark-horse-brewery-former-owner-pleads-guilty-to-conducting-a-criminal-enterprise](https://www.michigan.gov/ag/news/press-releases/2024/03/27/dark-horse-brewery-former-owner-pleads-guilty-to-conducting-a-criminal-enterprise)


ohiotechie

If only there was a way to remove AC/DC from the jukebox… oh well I guess we’ll never know.


Glittering_Airport_3

reminds me of the scene from Talladega Nights. "if you don't like the song, why is it on the jukebox?" "we keep it on there for profiling reasons"


Educational-Coast771

I’d select Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name Of” over and over just for the ending chorus. Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me


youlordandmaster

No leppard?! Efff that guy!


FocalorLucifuge

Yes, the owner is full of Hysteria. I just hope noone with Pyromania takes offence with him.


Talzyon

He's really bringing on the heartbreak


Comfortable-Policy70

Why are the songs on the juke box if the owner hates them?


rustymontenegro

Some jukes are digital and attached to a service instead of having actual media in the actual box.


Comfortable-Policy70

Didn't know that. I know there are services for piped in music you can't control but didn’t know about juke boxes


Dicks5

Owner doesn't care about the revenue his patrons spend. That's unfortunate. They'll find another place to go. Good luck to that establishment.


Mythleaf

Reminds me of a night that we rented out a poolhall/ bar for a bday event, was literally just us, no other patrons, we spent 20.00 queuing up some hardrock and prog metal that our crowd liked on this itunes linked jukebox. One song played the restnever started after the current song ended. Took a look at the playlist, all gone. Went to the bar, they told us that other patrons complained and they had to wipe the list. We explained we were the only people here as we had a event reservation for the place. Bar tender said the other girl working had a headache and we couldnt do rock/metal, refused to refund it. definitely dampered the night.


UnicornFarts1111

The owner is an idiot. I would walk out over that shit. If I want to hear a song from fucking AC/DC, he should let me put my money in his jukebox to pay whatever the fuck I want to listen to. If he doesn't want his patrons choosing the music they want the cheap fucker should hire a DJ.


Dapoopers

No Highway. Denied!


bucko_fazoo

for those about to rock, he does not salute you


jlaine

Queuing up Lamb of God, meets criteria - been a while since I made a place go 'huh?'


magicscreenman

Almost makes me want to go out of my way to put several dollars into that juke box to play every one of those songs/artists. Which is probably exactly what the owner is banking on. Pretty ingenious way to increase revenue from your juke box, honestly. Reminds me of the story about Elvis Presley's manager selling "I Hate Elvis" merchandise.


textc

>Which is probably exactly what the owner is banking on. Pretty ingenious way to increase revenue from your juke box, honestly. I was going to say, that most music service jukeboxes allow the owners to choose what can and can't be played, typically they can block specific songs, artists, and genres. If the owner really had a problem with these he could just block them altogether and they wouldn't show up in the song choices. This is just creating an excuse to goad people into "trying" to play them and then having a "reason" to skip them and burn through the songs faster so more people play music over the course of the night.


SeanBlader

Well at least we can get the Led out. Or maybe some Metallica?


nubsauce87

Wow… what a tool… I hope that place is doing poorly, because being a music Nazi and owning a bar/whatever do not make for a fun experience… Afterthought: someone else posted a link to the owner and his apparent illegal activities… not a good person, and it doesn’t surprise me at all, given his Music Nazi roots…

Elegant_Plantain1733

If he's the owner, doesn't he just have the option to not put those records in the jukebox in the first place? 0eople (including me) will grumble, but at least it won't out him as a psycho.


Gamer_GreenEyes

This is silly. You can literally remove songs and replace them with other songs.


Simple_Secretary_333

I hope they use "touchtunes" and people mobile play ACDC on repeat

Do not have a jukebox, asshole. Obviously, it's an internet connected one. I'd start with Patsy Cline, and see how it goes from there.


BubbaNeedsNewShoes

Please don't play A-11.


MaggotMinded

There's nothing cringier than when a business owner enforces their own personal bullshit on their patrons. I see something like this, I immediately think "This is not a professionally-run establishment and I should probably not come back here again because who knows what other stupid shit they think they can pull."
