Everytime Patrick covers this I'm reminded of my favorite song for fucking with a bar, Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull. 44 minutes long and often on older, non-skip able jukeboxes.
Jukebox trolling is a legitimate art. It's almost impossible to pull off right, as I can attest. If you want to train, I suggest trolling Turntable.fm. You'll get kicked out of a lot of rooms, but it's good practice. Playing Shave It in a Scandinavian death metal room: Priceless.
Yeah, because having fun is childish! Am I right guys or am I right!?
That sounds dangerously close to you not being sincere, which make me wonder if your having some sort of fun. ARE YOU HAVING FUN!?! Grow up, read a newspaper, go over last quarters receipts, and mow the lawn.
My 2 cents: I think if the story was swapped and Patrick was getting angry at some guy who was jukebox trolling you would all sympathise with him. To most here the GB crew can do no wrong.
I've done a bit of Wyatting in my day, but most of the jukeboxes I come across don't have anything annoying anymore. They're all newer models that look like giant MP3 players.

What? No. I would never be having fun. As you can clearly...well, not see (you'll have to take my word for it), my pants are tightened up properly to just above my belly button as I sit on my porch swinging my cane while yelling at the kids that are dangerously close to my lawn.

I wouldn't. I'd be wondering why he's so uptight as to lose his shit over what song is on the jukebox.
Jukebox trolling doesn't sound like my idea of fun if I was the one doing it, but it sounds like something I would find funny if someone else did. Then again I don't have a regular spot I hang out in so it's not like it would ruin anything for me.
I'M GONNA EAT LOTSA RANCID FOOD AND THEN LET OUT SILENT BUT DEADLY FARTS ALL OVER THE BAR AND THEN SIT AND LAUGH ABOUT IT TO MYSELF! MAYBE I'LL MENTION IT ON A PODCAST!
There is nothing greater than successfully pulling off a hidden track play. Something with minutes of silence between the final track (we're talking CD here) and whatever comes after. You need to get lucky and hope the bartenders dont notice the silence. Once in a while a whole bar can manage to not notice the lack of music before the hidden track kicks in and everyone kind of goes "oh yeah.... there was not music for a bit there."
And hopefully it's a really terrible or stupid hidden track.
My wife used to work weekend at a dive hick bar. My friends and I would go up and drink for free and everytime put $10 in the jukebox and play Mr. Roboto by Styx the whole time. Seeing the pissed off faces and angry reactions by those stupid rednecks was priceless.
I guess I can accept someone having fun by trolling on a jukebox, but getting the crap kicked out of you for it is just as acceptable.
Exactly. I would've loved if that story ended with Patrick and his friend getting made into a human pretzel (In my mind his friends has the same build as Patrick). It's the risk of throwing the die.
In LA I sang Let In Snow and Jingle Bell Rock on different nights in a bar. Last time I sang Old McDonald. I think karaoke trolling is much less harmless because at least you are directly confronted by the prospect and it isn't a long set of circumstances.

Your blind hatred of Patrick is fucking sad, dude. He's a guy on the internet for fucks sake, keep your crazy rage to yourself, please.
Blind hatred? I'm a huge fan of Patrick's writing, but his lame jukebox trolling and that story would have a perfect karmic end of him getting beat up by some aggro'd out meathead. If you're gonna troll, you're running the risk of getting caught and reprecussions happening. He got caught for shitty behavior, time to face the music.

how badly would you of liked to off seen him beaten. what level of violence would of served him right.
My friend and I tried Jukebox trolling the other night while waiting for a local gig to start. We put on Jesus of Suburbia and Viva La Vida a couple of times but mixed it in with songs from the likes of LZ and Hendrix. The worst was that at least half the bar were into new Green Day and Coldplay
