A Rhode Island man was hospitalized after a bar fight allegedly over a Jukebox song selection! You have to be careful what songs you pick!

There have been times where M’Lady has played ABBA at a bar on the jukebox and I thought we’d get kicked out of the bar. There were definitely some faces and maybe a few groans, but we remained in the bar and were not attacked. This guy at a bar in Providence, Rhode Island was not as lucky!

Rhode Island Man Hospitalized After Bar Fight Over Jukebox Song Selection

In comedy, the number one rule is to know your audience. Apparently, that same rule applies to Jukebox song selection. He was reportedly beaten and dragged out of the bar for it!

According to Go Local Prov, the incident happened at Deadbeats Bar on Knight Street. A male victim in his 40s reportedly said 3 men started a fight with him over his Jukebox song selection. According to Go Local Prov, the victim says the suspects dragged him outside and began assaulting him. He reportedly lost consciousness and believed his jaw was broken during the fight. Police who responded to the scene did obverse a cut on his chin that was still bleeding and he had some severe swelling on the side of his face, per Go Local Prov. He was taken to the Rhode Island Hospital to treat his injuries.

Unfortunately, there’s no word on what the Jukebox song selection was! It looks like a rough bar so maybe he played something too soft? Did he play a Barry Manilow record? Did he go throwback with some Backstreet Boys? Please, don’t tell me that it was ABBA. That means we could be next!

I’ve never felt comfortable playing songs on the Jukebox. You never know if there’s a regular there who has a problem with a certain song or band. I don’t want to end up getting yelled at or fought–I don’t even want to be the reason someone rolls their eyes! So, I’ll leave the song selections to other people. There’s just too much at risk. Plus, I’m not going to be there long. I want to get in and get out. I can play my favorite radio station that plays all of my favorite songs on the way home. No need to risk losing my jaw because I wanted to play some Ween at the bar. It’s not worth it.

He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

6 Songs To Immediately End The Party According To Lisa Way

It is no secret that Lisa Way has a party past. Her occasional stories have become a thing of legend on the show!

As difficult as it is to believe now, she even once owned her own karaoke machine. Our Lisa of today, however, still enjoys a gathering, but she has her limits. And, if the party happened to be taking place at her house, she has we way to let everybody know that it’s time to go.

6 Songs To Immediately End The Party According To Lisa Way

Throughout the history of Dave & Chuck The Freak, Lisa has made several references to certain songs that she will put on at her parties in an effort to make her guests want to leave on their own.

I think we’ve all been there. It’s getting late, you’re getting tired, and the party is not dying down. What do you do? You could join in! Get your sleep another time. Additionally, you could turn off the music and tell everyone to “go home!” However, that won’t make you the most popular friend at the party. They will certainly be talking about you afterwards. You can’t do that. It’s not an option.

What you can do? Pretend to go along with it, while secretly sabotaging your own party. That’s right, it requires some self-sabotage. You get an awful playlist going that will make them want to leave. It’s the perfect idea. Can’t you just see Lisa executing this at a party? It’s a brilliant plan.

Right here, right now, for the first time ever, Lisa is revealing some of her go to party ending songs! Would any of these make you want to bail on a party? Check out the list of party ending songs below! Hopefully, you’ll stick around until the end. We don’t want the songs to be so bad that even the list makes you want to go home!

  • Kenny G - "Songbird"

    Wow. If this song comes on during the party, it’s definitely time to grab your coat. The party is over. There’s nothing left to see here. Great pick by Lisa.

  • Beach Boys - "Barbara Ann"

    No matter which version you prefer, this should get the job done. Nobody will want to stick around much longer once this starts playing. It’s a shame because The Beach Boys have many songs that would be great for parties. However, not this one!

  • Chicago - "You're The Inspiration"

    Just because there are some people at a party in the music video doesn’t mean your party is going to dig the song. Somehow, guests in the video didn’t leave immediately. Hopefully, things will go differently for you. Personally, I’m getting out of there if I hear this. I guess the same goes for pretty much any Chicago song, actually.

  • 4 Non Blondes - "What's Up?"

    If all goes right, your guests will be asking, “what’s going on?” when 4 Non Blondes come on. Sure, it’s a great road trip song. Maybe a good pick for the girls. However, the party in general does not want to hear this. It will upset them and they will leave. Just as you planned.

  • Simon And Garfunkel - "The Sound Of Silence"

    There are many different versions of this song out there. None of them should be played at a party. That is…unless you want your guests to leave. Which we do! So, play it loud and proud! Maybe even play it twice in case anyone misses any part of the song. Yup, that will do the trick.

  • Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"

    Oh, man. This would hurt to hear at a party. Actually, it could be dangerous how fast they all start running for the door. You’re going to want to make sure you’re somewhere safe and secure. They are going to leave, and they are going to leave aggressively. It will be like your home is Walmart on Black Friday. Only instead of trying to enter, they’re racing to leave.
