I have a friend who is unapologetically a weirdo (really that describes most of my friends and myself I suppose, but this story is about one of them in particular)

We're at a bar for his birthday. This place was formerly a real dump of a dive/biker bar but has cleaned itself up a bit. Still kind of a dive, but it's a nice dive. It's located practically right on the border of a really shitty town and one that's generally pretty nice, so it gets an interesting selection of patrons there.

He's a regular there, he actually lived in a small motel attached to the bar for a bit while his house needed some major repairs.

Again, he's a bit of a weirdo, it's his birthday, he's been drinking, and he wants to listen to some Disney song (I'm pretty sure it was "part of your world" from the little mermaid) so he goes and queues it up on the jukebox

And the song never plays

So he does it again. And again it never plays.

Eventually he figures out that the bartender (what was new and didn't really recognize him as a regular) was skipping it when it came up.

We ask her to just let it play for him for his birthday, she refused

So he queues it up about 10 times in a row, she can't skip them all fast enough, it finally starts playing, she's getting mad at us,some asshole dudebros in the bar are getting annoyed that this song is now playing twice, and we're all politely yet firmly asked to leave.

So we fuck off to another bar owned by the same person, we're welcomed in, they let us play the damn song, they mention to to the owner who apparently told the bartender who was giving us issues to chill and there hasn't been any issue since.
