I'm that Jukebox twat.
As an undergrad, there was a total dive of a bar and pool hall. Really skanky; stuff of legend (I loved it). Lots and lots of proto-goths hung out there. They were _always_ on the pool tables. My pal Fraser and I hit on a good plan to clear the tables of 'em. Put Duran Duran's Rio on the Jukebox, Cherise's "I love your smile" twice, and Rio on again another three. Leave for the dive-of-a-bar, and return in about half an hour, no goths; pool tables available.

Also went to a trendy Deansgate (Manchester) bar, Xmas time, everyone jolly. Andy "smackhead" Rourke (bass player of The Smiths) was in there. So Rob and I put on "Shoplifters of the world unite" on a few times. Interspersed with lots of other cheery smiths tunes. How to make the atmosphere gloomy. Mr. Rourke seemed blithely unaware.

What gets me is that most places have a Jukebox reset button. Could they not find it, or summat?
