how not to request a song - part 2
how not to request a song (installment #2):
her: can you play the “my hump” song?
me: i don’t have it
(5 minutes later:)
her: do you have the “gold digger” song?!
me: no
her: (earnest and confused) how come you don’t have songs? (and it sounded like the emphasis was on ’songs’ not on ‘don’t have’)
me: (blood starting to boil) how come i don’t have songs?(!)
(but before i brought the full sarcastic wrath, i realized that there was a more basic misunderstanding going on and i stumbled through the following…)
me: um…there are…different kinds of djs…i play music from other time periods…and…stuff that people don’t hear that much…uh, on purpose …a lot of other djs play stuff you know.
her: oh ok! (and she walked away immediately with a smile)
me: (braced for more and a little confused at how well it went)
