Synopsis/linky please.
You speak DJ - if I were to tell you that I was at a very goth-orientated wedding on Saturday, and in the context of all the 80s synthpop thought I was well within my rights to ask for True Faith by New Order, and was told by the DJ "Erm probably got it somewhere for you mate, I'll play you some New Order anyway", what does this translate to?
Serious answer please. Not "New Order are fucking shit".

my stepson has been a sneaky, lying little cunt with no sense of propriety over the weekend whist we were away.

Just caught up. I have no advice to offer better than your key removal plan I'm afraid sir. My condolences on this extremely disappointing turn of events.

'Look I do this for a living. I didn't leave the house with no idea what I was going to play - I have A SET. If New Order is in it then I shall play it – I do not need the help of some drunken spasmo with a ludicrous barnet and sequined high-waisted trousers on asking me for requests like it’s a fucking 1980s roller disco. Why won’t he fuck off? My God! He looks just like that poofter off ‘The Weakest Link’ that I and all my mates were laughing at so much! I wonder if it’s him. Christ, New Order are so fucking shit.’

The correct answer is much shorter, simpler and less amusing. I can assure you the guy was no more a professional DJ than I am with my once-a-month metal night, and he was openly taking requests. Have another go.

"I'm going to play Blue Monday, more people will dance to that".
Upon returning to my table I told Ms Foxtrot this, and then claimed to be psychic when Blue Monday started up two songs later. She was unimpressed.

if I'd known at the outset there was a real answer that is probably what I would've guessed.

DJing is a numbers game, you look silly if no-one is dancing. This is where Monty chips in with how he DJed to educate, not entertain.

I would much rather dance to True Faith than Blue Monday. I always thought Blue Monday was massively overated

but Blue Monday is more instantly recognisable. To give you an example, which I'm sure you'll appreciate, I get asked for "Walk" by Pantera more than anything else, by far. Is it their best song? No.

so I can be sure to laugh on queue

Excellent choices both. Not that Walk isn't a top tune.

I'm rather glad it's random, as I would have really fucking struggled to pick a Pantera track to put on there.

I'm assuming that Monty's consistent unfunny baiting is lulling us into a false sense of security, preparing for something so fucking hilarious that people will be queueing up for their chance to witness it.
Yes

Apologies. Just having a shite day, more easily riled than usual.

But only because I grew up with the original. If my maths serves me right you'd have been the perfect age to appreciate Orgy's cover when released. And it is a belter.

'Wow! A request for New Order from an openly-gay man! Quelle surprise! I'm going to really mess with his head now, by playing 'Fuck That Shit' by CombiChrist TWELVE TIMES IN A ROW!!!!!'
