I once discovered that the waffle house jukebox is accessible online. Me and some friends were drinking and played all star for 4 hours straight. Someone tried at one point to insert other songs, but there was an option to give your song priority.
The jukebox went dead around 3am.
Reminds me of the Salt and Pepper Diner story from John Mulaney.
The local bars near me have that, and I can reach them from my house.
My playlists always begin and end with Photograph by Nickleback, and in between is... interesting. I like to ease in with a few weird-for-a-bar but not bad (My Heart Will Go On, some Babymetal, etc) and work my way toward the really weird (showtunes, especially from Avenue Q), ending with the bad (like the 30 minute Sufjan Stevens song). Then Nickleback again, and back to your country music.
Local bars here have the same thing.
The app won't let you play the same song twice in a row. But, if it's the same song on a different album, no worries.
My go to is 5 or 6 sweet home Alabamas in a row. I've only done 2 or 3 times, much to my friends chagrin.
These days I get side eyes from the very first sweet home Alabama. Heck, I'll be sitting home on my couch and get texts from buddies, "are you screwing with me? Are you playing sweet home Alabama right now?!"
Usually it wasn't me. Usually. 🤫
I've ruined a few people's good time of this lol, sorry! If I'm sitting in a bar and hear the same song more than 2x in a row, I've been known to pull out the flipper zero and skip your songs. Hell I've done it when someone played the Kid Rock version of Sweet Home Alabama once lol.
I've got an f0, mind sharing that ir file? Sounds delightful lol

Sub-ghz. The brute forcing sometimes works, but it helps that I was able to borrow the remote for my local watering hole and copy their specific remote while the bartender was otherwise occupied.
Thanks! I had no idea. I've had my flipper in a box most of the last year, guess I'll dig it out haha
I would've opted for the and they don't stop coming version of the song. I love this way too much. It's pitch corrected so that it still follows the song properly and isn't just a loop of one section of the song.
There's also a 10 hour version.
