llcooljoe 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Do you ever play them at events? Either the Abba or Beatles one? If so do you cut out the Stars On 45 bit at the beginning and end? I am whatever you say I am Link to post Share on other sites
TonyB 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Rarely but a couple of weeks ago where the cheese started early and I was digging deep into my music collection for the next track, I played the Abba one and it went down OK. Didn't cut off much of the intro. Link to post Share on other sites

Dukesy 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 If I've got it, I'll play what ever the paying client requests. Link to post Share on other sites
brianmole 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 well of course, unless the client requests it! Link to post Share on other sites
spinner 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have both on a boxed set I bought a few years ago. Hadn't realise they were there until I looked through the track listing a couple of weeks ago. Have never played either. Link to post Share on other sites
mick 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have never been asked for it and I never choose to play it, although as has been said I would if it was requested. I have it on my Juke Box in the house and have been known to play it accidently :aa Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 No. I don`t play it...However I do own a copy of both. I also have tightfit-Back to the 60`s. Steve 5 European cups and 18 leagues, that`s what we call history. Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk DJ 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I don't think I have ever played it at a function. Tight fit 'Back to the 60's' was popular in the 1980's but not played since then. Jive Bunny is played about once or twice a year by request. Not too keen on these tracks but sometimes they do have their place, maybe at a mixed family party with old folk. Link to post Share on other sites
llcooljoe 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) The second disco I ever did (a few weeks ago!!), was a 30's birthday party and this guy said to me at the beginning just don't play "In The Mood" by Jive Bunny because you'll clear the floor. I was on the last hour of the night and had just put on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and the cd started skipping right at the beginning of the track. Being a complete novice I slid the crossfader across and pressed the button just hoping any music would start and not skip. Yep you've guessed it, it was In The Mood. Everyone got up and started dancing to it and it really kicked things off again after the setback. I had to grin to myself. Not sure what the moral of that story is... in the words of Chuck Berry "it goes to show you never can tell". :mikee: Edited November 28, 2007 by llcooljoe I am whatever you say I am Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk DJ 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm old and wise enough to know that these tracks are worth the odd play ie family parties. Link to post Share on other sites
rmbod 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think they sound a bit cheap and tacky so try to avoid playing them. Link to post Share on other sites

Fact is these people rarely know their elbow from another piece of their anatomy......so smile and say "ok, mate" and send them on their way.....then rellie on your own judgement as to what will work and what wont.....thats one of the reasons why people employ a DJ so they can use their skill and judgement to keep the party going. Sometimes the "OMG I aint heard this for ages" factor is just what you need to get people off their seats and up for a boogie LOL A tune I often pull out for this purpous is Be*witched - Cest la vie LOL Link to post Share on other sites
