here's a few rules for requesting a song:
- don't request it more than twice. i'm aware you wanted to hear it the first time you requested it.
- don't send your friend up requesting the same song you did. i know that you did because you've been hanging out with them all night.
- asking me to play 'harder better stronger faster' is futile, as much as i like it.
- you want me to play 'gold digger'(crazy in love/yeah/in da club)? really? wow! that's unexpected!
- get the fucking song title right. i can't count the number of times i've had someone ask for 'it's your birthday' - as you kidding? it's called 'in da club', and it's arguably the biggest club hit in the last ten years. Please do not ask me to play a song that goes, "S Agapo". Narrow it down people.... one time, a girl asked me for 'small town boy', which was idiot for 'don't stop believing'.
- i know, i know, it's your birthday. or you claim it is. who knows. i don't really care.
- guess what - i'm not going to play that reggaeton track four times in one night!
- don't request the song i'm currently playing. are you kidding me? you'd think that it wouldn't happen, but it happens every night.
- even though i've played a few house songs, don't expect a whole 5 hours of house music. they've got clubs for that where you can put on glitter and play with glow sticks.
- if you're a girl and your gut is hanging out and you're attempting to act sexy to get me to play a song for you, don't. it's not going to work. if i'm an asshole for saying this, fine, but there's no quicker way to get a dj to not do something for you than to be like that.
- again, don't ask to hear the same song three times.
- if you request a song and i say 'sure!' enthusiastically, don't expect it to be next. i've got a plan for the night, and your request fits in, but not next.
- don't give me money to play a song. i'm not a fucking jukebox, for god's sake.
- Don't pick out the most obscure line and/or word from a song and ask for it. Maro has a song called "Yparxei Alli" NOT "To Roloi". She actually says "To Roloi" a total of 2 times in the song.
- be nice to me. i'm a nice guy, but when you act like an idiot, it's not going to make me change my mind. i'm a person too, and ultimately my job is make you happy - but don't expect me to play your song if it sucks and kills my dancefloor so that you and your two friends can dance to a song that's an inside joke to you guys.
