10 Things NOT to say to a DJ
November 14th, 2008 by Derek "Bob" Evans
What started out as a hobby, turned into my own side business. I have been blessed to be a DJ for nearly seven years now.
However, gig after gig, party after party, reception after reception, there seem to be the same people at every event, no matter what kind it is. In the DJ business, you always please the people who are paying you, no matter what! You give them what they want. But 10 times out of 10, there are always the same people who show up, and ask the same silly questions.
So here is my Top 10 Things NOT to say to a DJ. Enjoy.
1) Can I request a song? Yeah. (But remember….it’s opposite day)
2) Dude, can you scratch? Of course– I love lottery tickets.
3) Can I set my purse here?
Me: Suren’t.
Random Girl: What did you say?
Me: Suren’t.
Random Girl: What does that mean.
Me: Sure. NOT.
4) Can you tell me what the next song is? “I love Rocky Road” by Weird Al Yankovic .
5) Do you want to dance? Yea. But how about you go practice falling down; I’ll be there in a minute.
6) Can you play… (insert either “My heart will go on” by Celine Dion, “Like a prayer” by Madonna….or sometimes that one crazy guy with long hair and corduroy pants will ask “Got any Slayer?”) Oh sorry, I already played it. Oh, you’ve been here all night? Oh, well I played the braille version. You didn’t feel it?
7) Will you take a picture of me and my friends? Sure. (takes picture of random object in the corner). There you go.
8.) Can I talk into the mic? Yea no problem, let me unplug it.
9) I don’t like this song, can you play something else? You mean, you don’t like Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Prince, James Brown, any Top 40, or any other hits of past decades? It’s not like I am playing “Sounds of Nature: Volume 12. Featuring Sloth from the Goonies.
10) Can you make an announcement to see if anyone has found…(insert any type of jewelry worn on the body) Dear Ebay. 2 gold earrings for sale. Slightly used. Sincerely, Derek.
Always, always trust the DJ. There is a reason why he is the one playing the music.
To the people who show up to an event, where there is a DJ, and just have a good time–Thank You. Here’s to you, good people.
