Walked into a packed pub in Lime Street station
jukebox was cheap at the time.

Threw in a £2 coin.

I did the exact same thing once...

Only the song I selected was: 'The Intense Humming Of Evil' by the Manic Street Preachers.

Good Times

Ouch
I wouldn't wish that any pub, worst song on the album. Rest of it's fantastic of course.

That said, a couple of months back was in a pub with a nice girl, who possessed a somewhat quirky sense of humour. It should be noted the pub was actually a dedicated student pub, just across the road from the science site (The New Inn, in Durham). She decided to put on "Street Spirit (Fade Out)". Some odd looks from the other patrons, but I think I fell in love a little. :)

The trick to this one
is to do it and get out quick.

Otherwise, I've heard of some unhappy endings to that scenario.

Juke box buckaroo

We did that in the Marlboro
with 'The Launch'.
Why do pubs full of old scouse fellas have these things on their jukeboxes?

I did exactly the same...
I was at college at the time, but we had gone to the pub (Salutation, Durham) for some lunchtime refreshment. Feeling like a bit of music, I dumped £2 in to the musicbox, but not realising that I had to get back for a lesson quick-sharpish, I decided to do the only thing I could do.... I put on "Pay The Man" by the Offspring 6 times.

But, that wasn't the cuntish part of it. Having the lesson only been an hour long, we returned to the pub just in time to catch the final run of the song.

Money well spent! :-D

This is only appropriate...
..if you've just put £1 into a jukebox that turns out to be sorely lacking juke.

In which case, "Sven, Sven, Sven Goran Eriksson" is the obvious choice.

Reminds me of Sundays in The Globe...
Well, before it shut.

Used to meet a mate in there for a couple of beers, then onto the snooker club.

But before we went...we'd load the jukebox with both kinds of music: Country AND Western.

Pop in on my way home later to find a baying mob...

Fun times :)
