Remember when I mentioned "Wicked Game" earlier? Chris Isaak's signature tune sounds great playing on a jukebox, sure, but this version is the one to play if you really want to make some folks go "What the fuck is this?" once that first chorus hits and they realize that this is not your father's "Wicked Game". They just know that when this song comes on the jukebox, it's time to stop whatever they'd been doing and pretend their beer bottle is a microphone.Īnd, by golly, isn't that what all songs you hear on the jukebox should do? For the average layman who doesn't own every Donnie Iris album like yours truly, it's nice to hear a song that you didn't realize you knew all the words to and that your reasonably confidant the whole room wants to hear you sing.

Most people may not know Donnie Iris enough to know any of his other songs, nor do they know that he sings "Ah Leah". Next day, you wake up in the arms of someone you didn't even know 24 hours ago and make a mental note to send Pete Droge a thank you note. That's when you catch the eye of the cute chick in the corner, see enough of a smile to risk total humiliation, and the rest, as they say, will be history. Play this tune to a room of the previously non-converted and you're bound to find a handful of malleable brains soaking in Budweiser are bored shitless by their friend still bragging about their lateral promotion at work as if they'd been appointed CEO.īy the time the first chorus kicks in, every set of ears in the room nods with an assured smile, as is they'd known what song it was the whole time. What makes this song so great is that it sneaks up on you.

Sadly, the only time most of us are reminded of this song's awesomeness is when we watch "Dumb & Dumber" and, considering the fact that some folks are just downright immune to this movie's charms, they remain sadly ignorant of this rollicking hook-o-rama. "If You Don't Love Me I'll Kill Myself" - Pete Droge Luckily, this a tune that holds up to multiple plays.ģ. Having said that, you probably won't be the only person to play this tune over the course of the evening. The whole room is now swinging as one and all it took was a song. Next thing you know, the hip-hop dudes are trading high fives with the biker guys while the Hatfields and the McCoys call a momentary truce. As I made my way to the jukebox, I could see the waitresses motioning to security to be on alert.Ī few seconds later, the opening guitar riff to "Mary Jame's Last Dance" swept over the room like a friend with weed. All it would take is one accidental poke of a pool stick by a player from another table for the uneasy peace of the room to be broken. Like most weekend nights, as the clock approached midnight, the room was filling to capacity with a mix of hip-hop, Latino, and biker contingents all getting louder and more boisterous as the night continued. The best example of this was witnessed by yours truly in an underground Pasadena, CA pool hall. This song is the ultimate "room uniter" because, no matter what type of music you might be into, you still love this jam - especially after you've had a few cold ones.
