For years, scientists have long wondered, can you make grown men and women weep tears of joy by playing Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual", and the answer is yes, you can, so long as it is preceded by seven "What's New Pussycat"'s.

3 seconds later the bartender clears the queue and OP wasted $20 to annoy nobody.

My friends and I used to do this with a song by drum and bass dj Goldie. For some reason touch tunes had a set of his that lasted 45 minutes, we would throw that in 3+ times in a row and bounce. Worst part, the beginning and end would bleed together really well so you really couldn't tell it restarted. So for $4 the bar would have 2+ hours of drum and bass.

Eventually the bartenders caught on and would shut off the touch tune when we would show up.

So hating Nickleback become a meme which actually managed to keep the band alive for way longer then other bands in the same category. They still managed to get concerts with great reception for a very long time after their prime with Photograph.

I saw one interview where they said that once the "hate" dies they'll not know what to do.

I found a ten hour loop of in the air tonight that never gets to the drum break. Takes surprisingly long before anyone notices.

I grew up surfing in the late-90s early-00s, and we'd always paddle in to go to the same place for lunch. They had a jukebox and we always put on Yellow Submarine simply because one time flicking through someone thought it sounded funny, and turns out the song's a bit of a joke. The owner hated the ritual, but he knew we'd put on Stairway To Heaven next and leave.

We chose Stairway To Heaven as loosely as we did Yellow Submarine. Never heard it before, but we had heard of it. Those two songs covered scoffing down lunch and then we'd paddle back out for the afternoon session.

This occured for years until we grew up and left town pursuing adult things as newly born adults now out of highschool.

The owner was a great guy. Told us as much as he hates Yellow Submarine, he was going to miss us as much as he loved Stairway To Heaven (along those lines anyway). We never learned each other's names, but he always gave us shit when we walked in and told us to enjoy our surf when we left. Those two songs and that jukebox remind me of him all these years later and I'm sure they remind him of us punk ass surfer brats.

That face when your sister just gave you a sloppy kiss and then went upstairs to her room

I'm through with standing in line to clubs I'll never get in,

It's like the bottom of the 9th and I'm never gonna win,

This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be...

(That's right. Fuck y'all; I like Nickelback 😤)

When I was a kid my buddies and I would stop in a burger joint and play I Touch Myself as many times as we had quarters and leave.

We would also play Scatman at this little diner we would go for breakfast. The juke selection was in all the booths.

My go-to is always Cottoneye Joe

Touchtunes figured out people were doing this kind of thing and gave bars the ability to skip songs.

What's New Pussycat twenty times, with one It's Not Unusual dropped somewhere in the middle.

Edit: and pour one out for the Salt & Pepper Diner.

I can't remember the band or the song, but there was a jam band song that went in for 40ish minutes at a bar I used to go to. You could play it four times for a dollar.

The more I learn about Nickelback, the more I realise they are not as bad as everyone says.

Jon Mulaney has poisoned an entire generation in regard to jukeboxes.

I read that as 12 straight days

I used to study in a cozy little cafe that was a row of houses turned into business. Next door was a bar that could get a bit rowdy sometimes. They had one of those jukeboxes with an app. I would load up Hotel California every chance I got. I could barely hear the music but I could hear the patrons groan every 30 minutes or so. One day the song option wasn’t there, so I switched to American Pie by Don McLean.

I’m sure they hated me.

Well you know what they say:

I'm through with standing in lines to clubs I'll never get in,
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win,
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
