True Story For You (But Especially Papa) To Enjoy

[Mr. K]

The other day, I was talking to a lady about DJing. She was telling me about various DJs that her father had hired over the years for various parties, and she had two premises:

1) a DJ's job is to get people dancing--not to play games (I am not adding this to start an argument; rather, I am adding this because it is what she actually said, and it is a reflection of what I hear from people that I talk to who are not DJs, while I understand that many of you have DIFFERENT experiences, with which I am OK);

2) and there are two songs, aside from YMCA, OLD TIME ROCK & ROLL, YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG, etc.... that MUST be played (and this is punchline number one): 1) RASPUTIN; and 2) (and this is punchline number two) ELVIRA!

CUZ ELVIRA ROCKS!!!

[Papa Deuce]

Thanks Johnny...

I know you all mention that Rasputin song a lot here. I am unfamiliar with it. And it wasn't on iTunes last I checked.

That's just freakin weird, man. Talk about regional...is Metro Vancouver another freakin planet?

It may be... you guys play Sweet Home Alabama alll the time.... I lovethat song, but the one time I heard it played at an event near us, it TOTALLY bombed....

 

[Kirby Ball]

I think Canadians appreciate rock more than us urban heathens here in the U.S....

I don't get that one either, man. I would bet (not much, however), that the Canadians that scream when they hear that song are the same ones that chant anti-U.S. slogans!

I can agree with it all except.... when you get to Rasputin......ugh!!!...I would say the 2 are "Play that Funky Music Whiteboy"....and "Hot Blooded"
crank it up a bit.....

I here the same about the games.......I think it pisses off the ladies, because they finally got the old man out, and a chance to be held, squezzed and you want to..."Play Games"......them there are fightin words...if you get my drift.....


just my 3 cents worth.......

 

[Mr. K]

Wow!

I used to carry those two. I never played them. They never got requested. They're gone.

 

[Fred Wright]

Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys? Gosh, I haven't spun that tune in many a year.

It was a Halloween dance favourite back in the day, though.

 

[Bryan Durio]

I would bet (not much, however), that the Canadians that scream when they hear that song [Sweet Home Alabama] are the same ones that chant anti-U.S. slogans!

And that's only because Skynyrd put Neil Young in his place for his song, "Southern Man."

I read once that Neil thought Sweet Home Alabama was a great song and that he was honored to be mentioned in it!

 

[Kirby Ball]

Speaking of Elvira..... :sqerr:

We just got a call from a lady named Elvira about doing a 50's show along with hosting their "games" for a "training" session. Quoted her a price, now we'll see what happens.

I have never met a woman named Elvira in my life, so maybe the mention of her name in this thread will bring me good luck!????

So, I went to iTunes and found many versions of it, but not the Boney M version... Nope, I am quite sure I never heard of it before.

That's REALLY FREAKIN weird! I have never heard of any other versions! You guys are messed up down there!!

Can't argue with that, 'cause we are messed up! :sqerr:
