OT:What's The All-Time #1 Song On Bar Jukeboxes?

[Jeff N.]

One Of These Nights? Freebird? Take This Job And Shove It? Wasted Days And Wasted Nights? Or what? Jeff N.

[dave thompson]

Depends on which style bar/jukebox you patronize. I sometimes go to Wolfy's 50's drive-in/bar and it seems like Johnny Mathis is the up and coming singer of choice.

[r_mutt]

it's hotel california.

[shiftyfixedgear]

"Poon - Tang" by The Treniers ?

[Louis]

Something by ABBA ? :p

[Blue Jays]

Maybe it is You've Lost That Loving Feeling by the Righteous Brothers?
It was really cool on Top Gun years ago! :)

[Lifelover]

I would almost bet money that Ice, Ice baby is right up there!

[rugbysecondrow]

You can't beat a tavern with a great jukebox..good times!

David Allen Coe...Long Haired Redneck or You Never Even Called Me By My Name

Otis Redding...These Arms of Mine

Alan Jackson...Chattahooche,

Six Mix A Lot...I Like Big Butts

[rugbysecondrow]

Something by ABBA ? :p

Can I break the civility rule here?

[BumbleBeeDave]

Can I break the civility rule here?

. . . but it might end up being your "Waterloo!" :crap: :rolleyes: :D

BBD

[93legendti]

Louie, Louie?
Gloria?
Hand Jive?

[BumbleBeeDave]

Do that and I'll reveal how many times in a row you're said to have punched up "YMCA" the last time you were in a bar with a jukebox... ;)

[johnnymossville]

Honky Tonk Woman by The Stones?

[Pete Serotta]

and no money to buy them :beer:

[goonster]

I would not bet against Van Morrison: "Brown Eyed Girl"

Good choice! I play it nearly every time I take my wife out on a date where there's a jukebox. :beer:

[Kupe]

I figured this would be a slam dunk - Jimmy Buffet: "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?"

[SEABREEZE]

Had a aunt who loved

Stop and make the world go away<> Eddie Arnold

So thats what I remember when I was growing up and juke boxes were popular

Ahh those were the days

[skijoring]

Clearly y'all don't spend much time in bars. The All-Time #1 has to be:


......

....


'I've got friends in low places' by Garth Brooks.

[Jeff N.]

My personal guess would be "Margaritaville". Jeez...there's gotta be a way to find out! I like all your choices. Jeff N.

.....Let's do the twist:

I'm not sure you'd find it on every jukebox, but I'd bet it's on most of them:

Rock, Bill. Rock.

How many of you are old enough to remember when juke boxes housed 45's.

Better yet, how many people remember the "song" made specifically for juke boxes - 3 Minutes of Silence.

I never heard of that song, but I go to a Diner in PA that has a jukebox full of 45's. All oldies, that's probably in there.

AS they say "back in the day" I used to hang out in this seedy dive bar that seemed like it only had Sinatra records. It was a great place to sit and drink.

[zott28]

I had a buddy that would drop $5 in the juke at our local pool hall when we were leaving and play Meatloaf's epic 15 min, "I love do anything for love" version 20 times. They had no over ride, and would have to unplug the machine.
Dirty trick if you ask me. Everyone that bought a song after him lost it when they unplugged it.

Here's a couple of sites that Google found. You can argue whether or not the list is correct.

# 1 song would be difficult to get but gotta believe if you chose an Eagles, Van Morrison or Garth song you would at least cover the top 10.

[dimsy]

i'm pretty sure i've never seen a jukebox without any michael jackson song from thriller. at least one of em must be on there. unless you're in a hip young people's bar in williamsburg brooklyn.
