It translates to
'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.’

No it doesn't
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.

oh, you have an actual answer?

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:24, Reply)
Yes, the actual translation is
"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.

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

Fair play to the guy
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'm surprised
I would much rather dance to True Faith than Blue Monday. I always thought Blue Monday was massively overated

I prefer True Faith as well
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.

No, they're asking you to 'walk' as in 'fuck off'.

You let me know when you say something funny
so I can be sure to laugh on queue
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:53, Reply)
I would always ask for "Fucking Hostile"
Or "Cowboys from Hell"
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:54, Reply)
Abso-bloody-exactly
Excellent choices both. Not that Walk isn't a top tune.

Fucking Hostile is on my randomburn
I'm rather glad it's random, as I would have really fucking struggled to pick a Pantera track to put on there.
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:57, Reply)
or "on cue" perhaps?

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:56, Reply)
Nope
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

I'll stand aside and let you hold court with your trademark hilarious asides instead then.
In your own time.

No hurry.

That was a mite uncalled for
Apologies. Just having a shite day, more easily riled than usual.
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:07, Reply)
I did wonder. I am sorry myself.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:11, Reply)
It's fine, I had no plans anyway.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:00, Reply)
I go home at six.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:00, Reply)
I'm going for a coffee. Back in a minute.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:01, Reply)
I think I might go to bed now.

*makes cocoa*

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 16:05, Reply)
No one else is even trying.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:58, Reply)
Blue Monday is the closest thing to a non-shit record they have.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:38, Reply)
Orgy's version is far superior.

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:39, Reply)
I was going to mention that

(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:42, Reply)
I disagree
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.
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:42, Reply)
I am sure it is.
Not in itself much of an achievement.
(, Tue 31 May 2011, 15:43, Reply)
OK
'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!!!!!'
