The Kinks - Jukebox Music
Glenn Miller Orchestra - Jukebox Saturday Night Root Boy Slim & The Sex Change Band with the Rootettes - Boogie 'Til Ya Puke ("Put a quarter in the juke/boogie 'til ya puke") Nick Lowe - I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock 'N' Roll) ("stuffin' all her money in the record machine") Chuck Berry - School Days ("Drop the coin right into the slot/you've gotta hear something that's really hot") ???? - When I'm Under The Table I'll Be Over You ("Well I'm sure glad that drunk finally ran out of dimes/'cause he just played 'Proud Mary' for the seventeenth time") James Taylor - Hey Mister That's Me Up On The Jukebox The Taylor song is one of his better efforts. He sounds cynical about his sensitive singer-songwriter image ("Well I'll cry every time/that you slip in one more dime") I don't know the ???? arist--it was a song that was played on country stations years ago before all of the "bro country" bullshit. Any others? |

Radar Love popped up in my head. But it's a radio not a jukebox

For some reason the title "Jukebox Junkie" came up in my head and the thing exists! It's song by Ken Mellons who I've never heard of in my life.

“Jukebox Hero” by Foreigner wasn’t the absolute first thing on everyone’s mind?
Weird. Anyway, there’s that, and: “Rebellious Jukebox” by the Fall “Wurlitzer Jukebox” by Young Marble Giants “Jukebox Joints” by A$AP Rocky “Jukebox” by Ani Difranco (you didn’t say they had to be good, did you?) “Jukebox in my Mind” by Alabama (again with the no quality requirements) “Bullying the Jukebox” by Bouncing Souls “Jukebox of Steel” by Son Volt “Suffering Jukebox” by the Silver Jews “Charmaine Champaign” by Fiery Furnaces About/in the lyrics: “Train of Love” by the Pogues (in the lyrics, not the title, obviously) “Lonely old Lies” by Neko Case “Burn the With” by Radiohead “Quarters” by Wilco “Roll over Beethoven” by ... shit, like... Duane Eddy or Jerry Lee Lewis or something. Let’s just say Beatles. And there’s probably hundreds of others lurking around in my consciousness that I can’t immediately access, and thousands of others on the Google. |

I certainly thought of the Foreigner tune before I started this thread. I decided to give someone else the dubious honor of mentioning it. I imposed no quality requirement. If nothing else, that avoids any arguments about what songs are divine and what ones are dogshit. As for Roll Over Beethoven, check the post just before yours. |

Very good spot. A local radio station where I grew up played Dean Martin's version of this song a lot. |

How about a song about a juke joint?
You can't depend on anything really There's no promises there's no point There's no good there's no bad In this dirty little joint No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock Rosedale Mississippi Magic City Juke Joint Mr Johnson sings over in a corner by the bar Sold his soul to the devil so he can play guitar Too cool to be forgotten Hey hey too cool to be for gotten Man running through the grass outside Says he wants to take up serpents Says he will drink the deadly thing And it will not hurt him House rule no exceptions No bad language no gambling no fighting Sorry no credit don't ask Bathroom wall reads is God the answer YES Too cool to be forgotten Hey hey too cool to be forgotten June bug vs hurricane June bug vs hurricane Hey hey I had a lover I thought he was mine Thought I'd always be his valentine Leaning agianst the railing of a Lake Charles bridge Overlooking the river leaning over the edge He asked me baby would you jump into the water with me I told him no way baby that's your own death you see Too cool to be forgotten Hey hey too cool to be forgotten June bug vs hurricane June bug vs hurricane Hey hey https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLmL8dU9mg0 |

Rock This Town - Stray Cats
Well, we found a little place that really didn't look half bad I had a whisky on the rocks And change of a dollar for the jukebox Well, I put the coin right into that can But all they played was disco, man Come on, baby, baby, let's get out of here right away
