Things to never tell a DJ...

Things to never tell a DJ... FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN TO THIS LIST!


1. CAN'T YOU PLAY SOMETHING GOOD? The DJ has to play for more than one person... So what you hate may be another favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to one way or another.


2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT"?! BE SERIOUS! We know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of BEAT!


3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS.... PLEASE don't sing for the DJ. They have to put up with smoke filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night long...Do them a favor and DON'T give them a rendition of your favorite song.


4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT! Oh, sure ... you polled everyone in the club and, as their spokesperson, you're requesting the song.


5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE IF YOU PLAY IT! The DJ won't. I guess that blows a hole in that theory!


6. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT! Why settle for one night? Buy the album and get laid for a whole month!


7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT! The ONLY people who can get away with that statement write the DJ's paycheck!


8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE? It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the DJ to recite the name of every record in the booth!


9. HEY, MAN, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS! It's NOT advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but some people do anyway) ! HOWEVER, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement!


10. PLAY IT SOON, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING! If your gonna leave after he plays it, why shouldn't he wait till the very last song so you stay all night!
 
It's the DJ's prayer. I have a copy of this from about 20 years ago. It's meant for mobile & club DJ's. Got it in a shop that sold mobile DJ equipment. Used to tape a copy of it to the table I was working on. It's really common sense that alcohol seems to erase in people. At the bottom of the prayer it says "And above all....if the DJ has one hand on the mixing board, one hand on the turntable and his headphones on....don't bug him... HE'S MIXING" ;D
 
It's 1AM at a 60's Top 40 and you tell the DJ-------'I'm here----open the door"
