One of the best that I heard was; "You play that record for me and I can get laid tonight"
my answer was; "Why don't you go buy the album and get laid the whole week"

Her: Excuse me, "You know that song, a girls sings it, has a really good beat"?
Me: Awe geez, I just played it honey!
Her: Oh come on can't you play it again, it is my favorite song! I just got here.
Me; Are you coming here tomorrow night?
Her; Yes!
Me; Come earlier!

Him:Hey, YO, are you the DJ?
ME:No, I just like to stand around with a headphone, chics really like it!
HIM:You have to play Hot Stuff, we are leaving in five minutes!
ME:Well, there is 4 minutes left in this song and Hot Stuff is 7 minutes long. So if I play it, you will only get 1 minute.
HIM:Come on man, everybody wants to hear it.
ME:Yeah, you walked around the club and took a survey from 500 people and they sent you here as the representative? Well, I am sorry, the last representative that took a survey has a song being played next.

Picture this...... One night I'm just doin tha do & this guy comes up & really hassles me for The Commodores Three Times A Lady", & don't you know, yep, he wants to hear it within the next 20 minutes so he can slow dance this girl & get the hell back to the hotel for some you know what!  He also happens to be a friend of management.  It's also 12:15 am & the joint is rockin'!  "If you play this man....she's mine", he says. I do the usual knockback about how it's not suitable at this time & it just doesn't wear with this guy & he pulls a face, goes to said management, lodges a complaint, I get roasted & ordered to play the track or else!  I skillfully somehow manage to do a quick wind down in the programme to allow for an easy drop to The Commodores over the next 20 minutes or so & eventually slip it in & even though I could feel the crowd going "WTF??", quite a few stayed on the floor & just started to slowdance....along with the idiot who was smirking at me from the floor....  After the Commodores had finished I went into Peter Brown - "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me" & started building things back up & things were fine, but i was still majorly pissed off with all that had happened. There's just one thing the mangaement didn't realise..........  I'd just started dating one of the cocktail waitresses! Her name was Rosemary. I had a quick word & 20 minutes later, a tray laden with pina coladas went crashing & spilling all over the table that that idiot was sitting at! He was covered in it! Revenge really is best served cold................& maybe a lil' sticky too!

That is more like a "spinning story" then a knock back.
But I love Rosemary!!!!!!!!!!! That was awesome Paul.

Too right Pooch, it's more like a "knock over" than a "knockback" I have so many knockback stories it's hard to know where to start..... Should be able to post a few before the weekend is out though.

Let me have them Paul. I love DJ booth stories.
I have tons of them, I can actually remember many of the conversations from dancers.

In addition to the obligatory, "I'll play it later" and never do;
I remember one time a customer bugged me so much to play "Electric Slide".
I actually played it at around 12:30am, but now it was 3am and the 'after-hours' music was on. "I'll play it later" didn't work anymore. I got so fed up with her I GAVE her the record to take home and play!!!!
This was in 2003 at a company private party here in Florida.

I'm playing a set one night & just about to drop in the biggest track of the night (which was at that time, Jimmy "Bo" Horne - "Dance Across The Floor") & a girl comes up & says "Can you please, please, please play Dance Across The Floor"?? I said no, that I thought the record was rubbish, & I didn't have a copy so she was plain outta luck.  She turned away dissapointed & just as she did I dropped the track in. I just love the look on peoples faces when you do that. I've had the opportunity to do that about 4 or 5 times in 30 years of spinning.
