10 Things You Don't Say to A DJ

A DJ has to play for more than one person. What you may hate may be another person's favorite song. Further, everything played in a Club can be danced to in one way or another.

Let's be serious. I know of no song played in a Club that doesn't have some type of beat!

Please, Please, Please, Please don't sing for the DJ. They have to put up with smoke filled rooms and dangerous decimal levels all night. Do them a favor, don't give them your rendition of your "favorite" song.

 7. Everybody wants to hear it.

Oh yeah, right. I'm sure you went through the club and polled everyone, and now they sent you as their spoke person to request their "favorite" song. Whatever, get out of here.

 6. I can get laid, if you play it.

If you're good enough, you can get laid to anything. If you need a DJ to play a song for you to get laid, then you've got serious problems.

5. I wanna hear it next.

The only people that can get away with this statement are the people writing the DJ's paycheck. Plus, more often than not, the DJ already has the next song already queued up and ready to go into the deck. The DJ does not have time to look for your favorite song.

It's a lot easier for you to go have another drink and figure out what it is you wanna hear then it is for DJs to re-sight and name every record they have with them in the booth tonight. Also, don't ask for a song list. I don't know of any DJ that has an actual printed list of every song with him in the booth. Like I said go have another drink. Please, back up.

It is not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed! But some people do, anyway. However, even if there is only one person dancing on the dance floor it still contradicts this statement; you're just being rude. Have an open mind about the music, and go dance or just sit down!

Half the time DJs hear this, no one goes to the dance floor except for the person that asked for it. And when they realize they're the only one that wanted to dance to it, they bail off the dance floor. Note: if you ask the DJ for a song and don't dance to it, expect the DJ to ignore your request for the rest of the night.

Just go outside to your car and turn on the radio or, better yet, go home and watch MTV!
