    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.

        So, from experience, I don’t think it likes it if you play a song too close to itself. I had a short Playlist once with two or three songs bookended with Photograph, and it dropped the second Photograph. So I’m hesitant to do the same song over and over. Maybe a song that has a whole bunch of different versions might work!

      If they have it, Disco Duck is an all-time stupid song classic, highly recommend playing it anytime you want to be a musical troll.

        Alright, that was great. I’m sure just the song is good for a troll, but the video made it at least 10x better.
