I found out I can access the local bar’s TouchTones from my house and my work. So on random evenings, I’ll queue a song list up starting with Photograph (my calling card), then do a list of bizarre songs (Surfin’ Bird, it’s Not Unusual, a 20+ minute Sufjan Stevens song, Babymetal, etc), then close it out with Photograph again.
I’m going to give the bartender a Pavlovian response to hearing Nickelback
Could you do a solid prank for this random internet stranger and queue up the following:
8 x one favorite slightly annoying song (‘moves like jagger’, or ‘we built this city’ would be my suggestion)
1 x Photograph (pause for the unison sigh of relief from the patrons)
1+ x the same slightly annoying song played in a row already.
I’ll bring popcorn.
You could at least credit John Mulaney if you are going to steal his jokes.
Nobody cares 🙄🙄
So what was the article actually about
Playing the boys are back in town on a jukebox in a bar over and over again I guess.
My browser ended the article for me just as the author judged a song correctly for the first time
Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven’t changed, had much to say But man, I still think them cats are crazy They were askin’ if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told ‘em you were livin’ downtown Drivin’ all the old men crazy
Ugh, those lyrics are even worse than I remembered!
What are you about? This isn’t supposed to be poetry! I guess I’m biased, having lived in Ireland so long, but still.
Personal preference, I guess.
I’m a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, whose lyrics touch on similar themes but are better 🤷
