clivehenryjones 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 .....been asked to play a song and then been given the wrong track name, or (more regularly) a phrase or lyric from that song that IS NOT the title? The one that springs to mind is "Can you play "No No"?" http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif This is (of course ) "No Limit" by 2 unlimited. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif Your contributions?...

Reply "No he's wearing a kilt you must know it" Well done! Oh these wonderfull people who assume that we've got time to watch the video's, as opposed to just auditioning stuff in-car. Travis? I thought the whole band jumped off the cliff though? - poor pre-video location scouting though. There was water at the bottom. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif I had one of these "untitled" requests last Saturday... Have you got "A bit of Jennifer?".....any guesses? (I played it a few mins later) ..and pulled from an earlier thread of over a year or two ago... I had a request about 3 months ago (back then) from a middle aged lady (dressed as a 19 year old...as they do) coming up asking me for "that song where the girls singing about being in love, and they're both 11 years old"... Rather than the usual "eerrrm, oh yes, I think I know the one you mean...I'll have a look..." I upfront told her that I didnt know of any song that went quite like that... so asked her to sing it... After eyeing my mic, and ensuring it was OFF (Damn!!! ) she started singing...."Baby you're all that I need, when I'm lying close in your arms, I'm finding it hard to beleive, WE'RE ELEVEN...." Some biddies need better Kitchen Radio's......or better factory fitted speakers in their Nova's. Edited January 18, 2006 by Gary Link to post Share on other sites

robbiedj 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 The classic must be "Walk On" , you know that liverpool song! Also had "you can take my breath away" (Hero) That song Believe Me by Dusty Springfield (You Don't Have to Say You Love Me) But my favourite was The Hanuka Song ! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif No, not a jewish anthem. That was Mambo No 5 too. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif And why do they always ask for Saturday Night Fever, when they want Staying Alive ? You want me to play what?

Eskie 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just before xmas i had a request from a girl for "that song that goes doo wop doo wop doo wop" So I'm trying to think of DooWop, old R&B/50's stuff, i.e. Ink Spots etc; later on she comes running up to me while I'm playing a track "This is the one I wanted" she says the track that was playing at the time... Fatback-I Found Lovin http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/wacko.gif for those confused, remember the Steve Walsh remix where he shouts "You what, you what, you what" over the top http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif some of the best one's are from people who don't speak English so well http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif In Japan I can remember receiving the following requests: Lick Ashrey (Rick Astley) from that moment on, I referred to him as lick Ashtray http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif a written request for Rise Dancefield (Lisa Stansfield) http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/071.gif Anthony Winyard Entertainment www.awe-dj.co.uk, Entertaining London & the South-East!

ian 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I play a lot of Salsa and Latin nights, so I get loads of people coming up trying to describe songs because they don't know the Spanish title and also don't know any of the words! Sometimes it's pretty easy (someone came up to me last month and asked for the song were the guy shouts "Rico" at the start) but some are just totally dumb ("the one with all the trumpets" or "the one with all the drumming" often followed by "you know the one, you played it last month"). Also get some similar problems with Dancehall. Had a request for "Golden Sugar" which turned out to be "Girl Dem Sugar". Had another one for "Na Na Na" which turned out to be "Heads High".
