My response to this one was always....."OK but whats in it for me?" Rarely did they ask a second time.
 
Once someone threatened to call inmigration, i still laugh about it
 
Can you play that song that goes, wait let me sing it... ya know. da da da do da do... what kind of dj are you, you should know it!
 
And why when they see your browser at the bottom of the screen, do they ALWAYS seem to assume that a) that's the playlist of what you're about to play, in order, and b) that the computer does it all automatically?
 
PLay me That song - With the Drums...... and there's a,.......a ....... ummmmm - oh yeah a Guitar.!!!!

You know what song - I heard it last night.
 
Oh, and if they want to speak to you for any reason, they'll wait until you're either in the middle of a mix, or using the microphone.
 
I have had part of this on my website for a few years now, here is the comments that go with the "Requests"
From this page

Before requesting songs, making comments, or asking questions of VJK, please...

CHECK BELOW FOR YOUR REQUEST


1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO!
Sure would you like some Barbra Streisand, Tom Jones perhaps some David Bowie? LOTS of people dance to these peoples songs! The DJ has to play for more than one person...so, what you may hate may be another’s favourite 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 a 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 D.J.! They have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night. Do them a favour and DON’T give them a rendition of you favourite song!



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



5. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!
If you are GOOD ENOUGH, you can get laid to anything!!

(also been known as “buy the album and get laid for a month!”)



6. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!
The only people who can get away with that statement write the DJ’s paycheque!



7. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANNA HEAR...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 one of his 20,000 tracks on the PC one by one!



8. HEY MAN, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!
It is not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed, (but, some people do anyway)! However, even if there is only ONE person dancing on the floor (or for that matter anywhere in the club), it STILL contradicts the statement.



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



SOME ASSORTED THINGS NOT TO SAY
If you ask for a song and the DJ says he just played it, DON’T SAY, “Well, I just got here.” It makes absolutely no difference. DON’T SAY, “Is this the only kind of music you play?” If you go to a Chinese restaurant, you wouldn’t ask for Italian food. Rock clubs play rock, alternative clubs play alternative, discos play disco, etc., etc., etc... If you ask for a song, BE SPECIFIC. DON’T SAY, “I wanna hear something, anything but this!” Try going to the bar and saying, “I wanna drink something, anything but this...” You can’t complain if you’re not SPECIFIC. HOWEVER, if you ARE specific and the DJ says he doesn’t have the song, DON’T SAY, “What?!! What do you mean you don’t have it? What kind of DJ are you? Why don’t you get into the wonderful world of fast food! You obviously don’t know what you’re doing as a DJ!”...HE MAY SHOOT YOU!!!



SPECIAL NOTE
A nightclub DJ gets very little respect. They are expected to play everything for everybody. It is impossible to satisfy all to the people all of the time, yet club jocks are expected to do just that. If a radio jock tells his listeners a song is a hit, the majority of the people think it must be “because they said so on the radio.” However, 80% of the time, that same song was being played in a club long before the radio DISCOVERED the NEW song. So, give the DJ a break! The next time you request a song, stop and THINK before you speak. Also if the DJ is taking requests, the nicer you are to him/her when you ask for your song, the sooner they will play it for you!

And, above all...If the DJ has one hand on the mixer, one hand on a player, CD player or computer and the headphones on

...DON’T BUG HIM...
...HE’S MIXING!!!
 
CAN YOU PLAY IT NEXT?

THE LAST PERSON TO ASK FOR NEXT IS NOT NEXT, BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO ASKED FOR NEXT BEFORE HIM WILL BE PLAYED NEXT, SO YOUR NEXT WILL BE NEXT AFTER THE LAST PERSON WHO WANTS TO BE NEXT, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT, YOU WILL BE NEXT AFTER THE LAST PERSON WHO WANTS TO BE NEXT, DO YOU STILL WANT TO BE NEXT!!!!

I love the question we get alot:

"Here, mate, do you have anything good?"

To which i usually respond "Sorry, no. My entire collection of songs is shit. I have nothing good in amongst my XXXX thousand song library".

Hehehehe....bloody people!!!

(",)
 
one of my favorites is

Can you turn the music down, I need to talk to this girl
 
My favorite reply to people who's asses are stuck to the chair...
"So the dance floor is wide open tonight".....Wait 3 seconds....."I see dead people" from the movie Sixth Sense in a raspy voice.
Perfect for melting the ice and loosening up the crowd.
 
Not bad for an icebreaker mp3jrick !
but for some of the anniversaries I end up doing sometimes...saying "I see dead people" would literaly get some people in a panic and dialing 911!! I just did a 65th anniversary event this past weekend if ya know what I mean!!!heh,eh

great stuff...it is so true about what these people ask..

ewout!
 
so for the particularly stupid requests, i keep a few old cd blanks -
"Oh, yeah, i just got another copy of that song...*break cd, hand them broken shards of plastic* "but i have 1000 people out there who want me to play good music."

the manager was standing right next to me when i did it and laughed his ass off.

like mel brooks said "it's good to be da king!"
 
The best one .... "YOUR A DJ YOU SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING!"
 
I reaaaalllly hate when people come up and stand there and stare at me as if they are somebody special. Then I got my headphones on monitor blastin and hands moving in different directions... AND they want to talk to me as if I nothing going on right now. I even manage to give them a "one moment signal" and they still continue. The sad part is, it's for a current song that I'm most likely going to play anyway.

I also have a michael jackson impersonator who comes in on a regular basis. I will throw a bone to him and it gets the crowd hype. Then he wants a second MJ song in the middle of the fever of the night.

Or the people that come in and request a different type of song from the norm...I play it because it fits the mood ( usaually at the end of the night ). Now everytime they come in they want that song and they get upset if I don't play it.

OR

The regulars that come in and they shake your and / or give some love for the DJ. AND they still request the same songs every weak as if I don't remember their favorite song they've requested every weak for a year.
