For the love of god, no more junkies dancing to "I'm Not an Addict" !
...or barely-legal looking chicks dancing to "The Wrong Way"...
i think a few of you DJs out there rely a bit too much on no one *getting* your references...

Well, there's the apparent meaning of the lyrics, then there's the real meaning of the lyrics, then there's the question of which meaning the customers, the woman dancing, and the manager are going to get--which is what really matters.
I never knew about the real meaning of "Rape Me"--and I'm glad to find out. I'd still be reluctant to play it, since the morons who make up a large percentage of our customer base won't know or care what Kurt meant--and they don't need any encouragement in VIP--even if it's a guy singing, lol...
"Smack My Bitch Up" I have known for a long time has nothing to do with beating up women, so I never hesitated to play it for a woman who asked for it--and so many do.
But I would never play any song that a woman dancing onstage found offensive, that's not only rude, but counterproductive.
And now it's time to confess the most grievous of all sins--I have played "Who Let the Dogs Out".
But it was a special, short and very souped-up mix I happened to have on a compilation which I bought for other songs, and I played it because one of the dancers brought her dog into work on her night off (they let her for a while, it was a really cool dog). Trust me, I made damned sure everyone knew why I was playing it, too...
The dog seemed to enjoy the attention, and everyone else thought it was funny, so I think it was OK just that once.

I wish clubs would quit playing what I like to call "suicide music". Any song where the vocalist sounds depressed or strung out on something just sucks the energy out of the place, and I start yawning. If I wanted a nap, I would have stayed home.
A couple songs that would make that list have been mentioned here, so I'll keep my gripe at that.

DJ's:
If anyone has ever compared you to Tony the Tiger, Guy Smilie, or a Rollercoaster, knock it off, yer wack.
If it is impossible for you to finish a sentence without using the words "gentlemen" or "fellas" less than two times, knock it off, yer wack.
If your entire accumulated repertoir consists of 4 cliche's, knock it off, yer wack.
If the words: intonation, dynamics, inflection, enunciation, tone, diaphragm, emphasis, timbre, and expression are all words from some foreign laguage to you, knock it off, yer wack.
If you cannot keep your personal life outside of the club, knock it off, yer wack.
If you introduce yourself to people as "DJ... (your name here)", knock it off, yer wack.
If you have given yourself a moniker beginning with "DJ" followed by a reference to astrology, the elements, or a good name for a Pitbull, knock it off, yer wack.
If you unbutton your shirt past the second button, knock it off, yer wack.
If you brag about how much money you make, knock it off, yer wack.
If you drink yourself into a coma every night at work, knock it off, yer wack.
If you are strung out on ice, knock it off, yer wack.
If you ever thought that you were the reason an artist scored a record deal, knock it off, yer wack.
If you can't refrain from holding grudges, knock it off, yer wack.
If you secretly hate women, knock it off, yer wack.
If you think that customers come to the club to listen to you, knock it off, yer wack.
If you are running a mullet, seriously, and not as some kind of joke, well then god damn more power to you haha

Who's Guy Smilie? Do I really want to know?

waffles are just pancakes with little squares on them.
i could probably come up with at least a dozen songs that need to be on a blacklist...
one song that comes into my mind, was requested by a manager... a song by the lovely
Bette Midler, "the rose".... what in the he** were ya thinkin on that one!!![]()
love the beastie boys but "girls" is played out...def don't play it in its entirety...
same with "girls girls girls"... it makes me cringe... [/SIZE]
speaking of djs "gettn their references in"...
a dj friend of mine played "stupid girl" by cold followed by "stupid girl" by garbage for one chick on stage....of course she didn't catch the reference...
Pink's new song is called "stupid girls" so that could make a cute 3 song set![]()
A couple more
If you think that the club owes you something simply because you work there, knock it off, yer wack
I you saw The Wedding Singer and got a little choked up during the "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" performance, knock it off, yer wack
If you think that Salt 'n Pepa's "Push It" still turns a room fucking out, knock it off, yer wack
If you brag about having a 20,000 Mp3 library and the newest song you play is by Creed, knock it off, yer wack
If you are trying to make up for your failed attempts in the recording industry by rapping your brains out over the mic all night to songs you didn't write, knock it off, yer wack
If you think that The Macerena is the greatest song ever composed, knock it off, yer wack
If you do not understand that the girls who go to VIP most of the night are almost always your best money, knock it off, yer wack
If you work dayshift and are trying to scam your way onto nightshift by wrecking equipment and blaming it on the nightshift guys, knock it off, yer wack (and at the head of the line for a video-taped beat down of the year)
If you wear $600 worth of clothes, drive a $45,000 car, and live in a shitbox half-furnished dirty apartment with 4 other dudes, knock it off, yer wack
If you think that making fart noises over the mic is hilarious, knock it off, yer wack
-E
And the mullet comment was only in shear amazement that dudes are still running those things... I grew one for a joke last year thinking it would be the funniest thing ever (Briana Banks cut my shit into a mullet for video). I ended up chopping it all off before we could do some more filming because everybody just thought it was normal and didn't get the joke... even in So Cal where I thought people would catch it. Everybody was just like "oh he's from Atlanta, of course he has a mullet"...
It was dissappointing.

X Evan X, I sincerely hope you keep posting in here, you are funny as hell--and that takes balls, growing a mullet for a joke!
MrC., thanks again for enlightening me!
Kellykelly, it is amazing how easy it is to insult the hell out of really stupid (and rude--otherwise I wouldn't be so crass as to do this!) dancers right onstage--I finally lost patience with a couple of them and have pulled off some amazingly funny insult songs without them having a clue, whatsoever!
I love the Beastie Boys, but despise that "Girls" song--I refuse to play it, as well as those other two execrable ones everyone always asks for, instead of their good songs, lol...

Since when did we Dj's get a personal life?? I thought we were supposed to keep busy taking great care of the girls and their every whim and desire!!! Damn, I must've missed that personal life meeting!!!
I didnt know we were allowed to have personal lives either??! I thought we lead lives of service?? Lmao...
Well my take is I will pretty much pay anything that is requested by the girl on main stage as long as it isnt gonna hurt the crowd (too slow, too gangster etc..) After all in the clubs where girls pick music, they are my money so i will cater to them.
In the clubs where music is on me only, well i am a little more picky and play directly to the crowds at that point. Whatever will keep them into it, an occasionally fun or fun song at the right time can be very benifical.
X love the lists! Very good!
Cap't





Yeah, not only that, but it is foolish to ignore the fact that the woman, no matter how professional, is going to dance better--and thus make more money and keep the crowd happier--if she really loves the song.Originally Posted by Dj Captain Rob
In a giant club with a hundred dancers, it's gonna be tough to pull off, though.
As far as the personal life goes--thats been me the last few months. Guys would be shocked to discover how little fun a SC DJ can have, if they get too wrapped up in the club and stressed like I was getting for a while there.
Hell I haven't been out on the town in months--I'm way past due, lol...
