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!
You could at least credit John Mulaney if you are going to steal his jokes.
All are on Spotify, which you can link to Touch tunes. Load it up as a playlist, then select "smart shuffle".
Find a booth. Grab a pint. Enjoy the clusterfuck.
How often do you do this? Do you ever go into the bar and innocently queue Photograph to see if you get a rise out of anyone?
That's my plan for later. I want to get it really firmly established first.
You're a monster and I aspire to this level of trolling.
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.
A bad music classic, for certain
