Which Song do you play?

Featured Replies

it's 8pm. You are in a bar (doesn't really matter where). Outside small beer bar most likely. Computer and a couple of speakers behind the bar. Maybe 10-12 people in situ. Few single blokes looking desolately into the dregs of their Leo. A couple who look like first timers. A couple of couples of ageing expats with their Thai Mrs. Mixed age group.

You order a beer and the Mamasan pushes the keyboard towards you and asks "what you wanna play?". Pressure is on now. You have to read the limited crowd. You could pick a winner where you get the odd nod of approval, a few smiles or even possibly a patron telling Mam to shove a beer your way on their bill.

Other side of the coin is the nightmare scenario. You pick an absolute wrong 'un and clear the bar within minutes. Requests for check bins all over the show and it's all down to you.

What would be your first pick? If it all goes well, that's you set for the night - Superstar DJ. First choice is crucial - what's your follow up song?

No point in banging on Cosby Sweater by the Hilltop Hoods or similar as it's got to be a crowd pleaser. I would probably go with Take it to the Limit by the Eagles and maybe Sympathy for the Devil (Stones) as the follow up. After that, you've got the keyboard. Play what you want and if they don't like it, settle up and wobble on to the next bar.

What's your crucial first pick and the follow up song?

Have to put the girls in the right mood

I did pop in a bar last night as have a mate here on holiday. Have known the owner for the thick end of 20 years. After a couple of self indulgent songs on my part, the girls demanded "I want it that way" by backstreet boys and "wherever you will go" by the calling. All members of said boy bands are just a smidge more attractive than my good self but I don't take it personally. Afterwards they put on "I'm sexy and I know it". They cut that one short when my fat mate started to reenact the video.

If just for myself, I would choose some upbeat mixes
