Dancing Nude to PG-13/Censored Music and Disney Songs

wiffle shwaffle

I went back to my other club this past weekend after almost two months away and there's a new DJ system as well as other new changes (firing of long time staff for dumb shit).

The club is a corporate run club.

Anywayyy, the new dj system has us put in our names and select songs to add to our "file". It will randomly select from that file when we go up, so we have no idea what the songs will be before going up. We still have a human dj, but he's basically just announcing and maintaining stage rotation for two stages since the dj system is set up for listing only one stage.

I really wanted to dance to "Whore" by In This Moment and a popular rap song "King's Dead".

Can somebody here please help me understand the logic behind why the fuck I'm baring my vagina to an 18+ crowd and being butt ass naked on stage, but the music is basically PG-13?! The dj system only contains "pre-approved" songs selected by corporate and they are all clean edits. Some are even live versions of songs. There are even fucking Disney songs in there. If there are too many swear words in the songs, such as the two I wanted to play, they just aren't available for us to choose.

*I'm not saying which club because I don't want to get into trouble, but most of you probably know.*

Oh, also, the volume in the vip area is down very, very low now so that you can hear those next to you talking. They did this so the staff counting dances can better hear what's going on in curtained rooms and to listen for dancers possibly overcharging. It was awkward dancing to almost silence in there.

Anyway, I just wanted to rant about the utter stupidity of why ever the fuck corporate decided this would add to the "party vibe" they now want depicted on the weekends.
