The Kinks - Jukebox Music
Glenn Miller Orchestra - Jukebox Saturday Night
Root Boy Slim & The Sex Change Band with the Rootettes - Boogie 'Til Ya Puke
("Put a quarter in the juke/boogie 'til ya puke")
Nick Lowe - I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock 'N' Roll) ("stuffin' all
her money in the record machine")
Chuck Berry - School Days ("Drop the coin right into the slot/you've gotta hear something that's really hot")
???? - When I'm Under The Table I'll Be Over You ("Well I'm sure glad that drunk finally ran out of dimes/'cause he just played 'Proud Mary' for the seventeenth time")
James Taylor - Hey Mister That's Me Up On The Jukebox
The Taylor song is one of his better efforts. He sounds cynical about his sensitive singer-songwriter image ("Well I'll cry every time/that you slip in one more dime")
I don't know the ???? arist--it was a song that was played on country stations years ago before all of the "bro country" bullshit.
Any others?
