Except right between the 7th and 8th playing of Rockstar, I put Photograph.

Nickelback is the new Tom Jones.
So that's how you get a crowd of people to be happy with hearing Photograph!
Well every time I do, it makes me laugh.
I once did that on St. Patrick's Day but with $20 worth of Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies. Except for I hit every bar in town.
Get there, get a pitcher of beer with green food coloring, order up $20 worth of Drunken Lullabies, then go on to the next bar once it starts playing. I think most of them were like 2-3 plays per dollar so 40-60 times...
By the time I had gotten to the last bar, there were a couple people crying. Like EVERY single bar in town was only playing Drunken Lullabies all day.
My God it was glorious.
Some people just want to watch the world burn...

What’s new, pussycat? WHOAAAAAAOOOAAAOOOAAAAAAO
Bwap-Bwap-Bwaaaaamp!
I was with a group years ago where one guy did this at a Pizza Hut.
He put in about $10 and played Happy Birthday repeatedly. But it wasn't just some normal version of the song. Instead it was some crazy, jazzed up version with multiple singers, firecrackers, etc.
Just incredibly obnoxious.
After about the 8th play through, the manager unplugged the jukebox. The guy who put in the money started an argument with the manager about how now he's lost his money. After some back and forth, the manager gave up and refunded him $5 ... but also made the mistake of plugging the jukebox back in.
Well you can guess what happened next.
We got loudly kicked out after that.
One time I went to a bar with one of these machines and I paid for like 3 songs. Well someone behind me paid extra to prioritize their songs so for 2 hours I heard nothing but Metallica and didn't hear a single one of my songs.
So right before I left I also paid extra to have this song played immediately, six times in a row.
Who the fuck designed that jukebox, Satan himself?! Both the prioritization function and having that Björk cacophony installed are downright evil.
Satan is corporate. Nothing better than getting people to fuck each other over for your profits.
The prioritization feature is great because, at least on TouchTunes, not even the owner can skip a prioritized song. Unplug the machine and it'll just resume the song when you start it back up.
Nothing took the wind out of obnoxious drunken revellers quite like what I called The Hard Reset: Miserere mei, Deus followed by Feels So Good followed by the 3 or 4 longest Allman Brothers Band songs available. It worked best when they had Mountain Jam.

I hate to be that guy, but all the stories in this thread are fake because the bartenders can just skip the songs. For exactly this reason. As if the people who designed these machines didn't think of this exact thing.
I m the bartender and I will not skip the song I want to see them suffer.
Also there is no other bar around so they will come back. With fear.
They might even skip songs they don't like. If you don't want me playing Lamb of God why the fuck is it available in the jukebox?
Do they know they can? I'm guessing they need the app to do it. I'm guessing, because I've successfully done this twice.
There is a physical remote control device for the touch tunes machine which can be used to control the volume and playback and stuff.

Some bars, but not all. I have worked a few places where they don't let us skip the jukebox.

So...What's new pussycat?
First thing that came to mind lol
I prefer to do this with "Do you believe in life after love". We call it a Cher bomb.
Best part is it's basically a bell curve of how into it people get. Starts off alow, maybe one or two. By the third play, most of the bar is feeling it. And then all downhill from there
That song is a banger, I'd chill for a while.
I used to do this as a kid at Pizza Hut except with Cher’s “Do you believe in life after love” song. Made ‘Book It’ trips that much better.
So, the band gets their 10 cents, the jukebox gets its money, and the bar mutes the jukebox....
I don't see how this makes any sense.

I did this with "The Final Countdown". It was a really popular and a bit repetitive.
wait. is this some kind of programable universal remote? like those things that would shut off any tv within 20 feet or whathaveyou?
A tomagachi for hackers. Runs nfc, rfid, subghz, etc.

East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed

Straight to jail.
I once did that but with Fagget fairies - feed the horse, i was told to never come back 😅
Link for those who wants their ears to bleed
Waaaaaay back, I was at the student center bowling alley at NIU in DeKalb, IL. Dumped a $20 bill into the jukebox and played every Led Zeppelin song they had.
About twenty minutes later, I hear, "WHO THE FUCK PLAYED ALL THIS FUCKING ZEPPELIN?"
Fifteen minutes after that: "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"
This ranks as one of the proudest moments of my life.
I cannot fathom a bowling alley crowd complaining about Led Zep... ~sigh
It was college students circa 1992.
I genuinely like this song. I wouldn't want to listen to it over and over, but I wouldn't with any song

Can you actually play a song back-to-back on a jukebox?
I don't always hate Nickelback (I know, I know) but I absolutely hate Rockstar.
For me, it's Crank That by Soulja Boy..
Just need to queue up a Echoes like 5 times in a row.
