What's New Pussy Cat X 21
"It's not unusual
..."
This
cracks me up every time I hear it. Comedian John Mulaney tells
how he and a friend played "What's New Pussy Cat" 21 consecutive times on a diner
jukebox. Hilarity ensues.
I once did something similar. After I'd finished my meal, I lined up about a dozen metal songs (Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Scorpions etc) and then left. This was at a diner in rural Illinois, and the service hadn't even qualified as "shitty" (hence my action).
Kim reminds me that my last night home on leave before going to Viet Nam, a couple jack-wagons were making loud and obnoxious remarks about military folks. Hey, it's a free country, I couldn't complain about them exercising their constitutional rights. But I could drop five bucks worth of "Hot Rod Lincoln" into the juke box before leaving them in peace, and did.
Ours was "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". The more we played it the more upset they got. Finally, they unplugged the jukebox. "Roland was a warrior, from the land of the midnight sun...."
That's just...wrong.
ReplyDelete...genius...but wrong.
Yes Yes yes!

"Dead skunk in the middle, of the road" several times on a jukebox in south Austin, just off IH-35. Well, WE thought it was a hoot.
ReplyDeleteThe best place for jukebox pranks is the Waffle House.
