  Had one cLub play my request no problem. Had another say no. Beastie boys, Paul Revere. Club that said no was racist and would not play any rap songs, even by a white group. I do not patronize that club anymore. For anyone wondering it was BTs in Dearborn, MI.

  The only sure way to do that is to play DJ for a dancer at a place with a jukebox, which I've happened to do 3 different times. Not counting that, though, I did get a DJ to play one of my requests once at one of my regular clubs. Of course, this was on a night when that club was dead, but I still had to tip him $10. That marks the only time I ever remember them playing Primus in a strip club.

  Man, fuck the DJ! Any and every DJ. At the strip club, at the night club, and especially at a wedding! Y all suck!! Seriously, y'all suck! I grew up around musicians that actually played REAL MUSIC! Make the fan happy you piece of shit, no talent hacks. When I tip you and say I want such and such song played, play it you momo! No more bullshit! I don't care if it's hip hop, country, classical, Spanish, industrial, etc.. Play quality music. If you don't know what quality music is, call me and I'll let you know. I'm out. Khan!

  If you tip them they'll play whatever you want. My DJ at Woodys in Islamorada used to always get big tips.

  No amount of tips can make a DJ into an audiophile.

  Mid afternoon in a small town club, about five years ago, I convinced the DJ to play "Inna' Gotta' Da Vita" the looong version, as I got a lap dance from a dancer sooo young she knew nothing about the song. It was fun to see her expression as the song went on, and on, and on. I bought the DJ a beer after and we laughed about it, but no tip beforehand. He did admit that he had that cd for years and always wanted to play it but thought dancers and the manager would object, but for a customer request on a slow day he could get away with it.

  <i>You don't need an AK-47 A 9mm Glock works just fine</i> Seems rubber shows, maybe crocs, would do some good too...

  Years ago at one of the then great Memphis clubs, Tiffany's I think, the DJ would play the 8 minute version of Purple Rain a couple of times a night. He would always announce it a song in advance so everybody in the house would get a lap dance lined up. It was a great marketing ploy and I am surprised somebody does not try it now. Other than the above, I have no use for the DJs. Clubs like Mons Venus do quite well without them, so it is certainly not a requirement for a successful operation.

  @dallas; lucky it wasn't me. I might be in my mid 20's, but classic rock and old heavy metal are my favorite music genres. I'd charge you five bucks per minute after the first four minutes of the song.
