Songs NOT to play at the roller skating rink


You're a teenager again and you're skating around the rink, disco ball making spots on the floor, hair blowing in the breeze, the smell of nacho cheese at the snack bar and sweaty feet wafting through the air... you are king or queen of your world.

The song ends and it's time for the DJ to queue up another one. What should he NOT play?

I'll start:

Slip Sliding Away

Ha! That's a good one. πŸ˜‚

Mine was just a ridiculous one because nobody would want to skate to that, but yours is quite literally a bad one for a skating rink.

reply

I just have to do one more.

Maybe I'm picky about what I skate to.

Not sure that one is good anywhere.

reply

Aside from a urologist's office it would not fit in anywhere, including a skating rink. Excellent work!

Also, I bet he knew good and well why it hurt when he peed.

πŸ‘πŸ» Gotta admit you're spot on with this one.

reply

Any Rap song that uses the N word a lot.

reply

I would agree with you. In fact, I would not put such songs anywhere but in the trash.

reply

Neil Young "Down By The River" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyOFt55pEh0

reply

I think if that's the choice I was given I would want to skate into the wall.

reply

Michael Jackson "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" but he's going to play it 20 times anyway

reply

Now that DJ just sounds good and lazy.

reply

Maybe after playing "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" 20 times the DJ could switch it up and play 'Got This Feeling' by Baby Bumps which is totally nothing like the MJ song πŸ˜‰

😳 Good Lord. And we were picking on Ray Parker Jr for stealing a song!

reply

While I would usually love me some Grateful Dead whilst rollerskating, I'd say this one would pretty much kill the mood...

That sounds like a dial-up modem. Are you sure that isn't one of parkerbot's childhood lullabies?

reply

Ha! You're not wrong! Fun fact: I was still on dial-up internet until July 2012...Technology can be pretty slow to arrive here in rural Vermont!

reply

I kind of miss that noise sometimes but not really. 😁

reply

You're welcome!

πŸ˜‚ That's actually the second time this week someone has sent me that.

Some fellas send ladies on message boards beautiful songs. Fellas send me dial-up modem sounds. πŸ’•

You got me there, I wasn’t expecting that song and I laughed my ass off!

I have to go with this β€œclassic”

Urgh, just searching for it on YouTube triggered some PTSD in me. I used to work at a wedding reception centre on weekends while I was studying, and you would not believe the amount of times I had to hear it and watch people of a certain age make complete ass-hats of themselves flapping their arms about drunkenly, doing the dance. People are so weird.

reply

Ha! I almost picked that song for myself. Great impish minds think alike. 😁

I'll see your chicken and raise you a hamster.
