I was bouncing at a bar in college when Lady Gaga was first getting huge, and we had a touchtunes that would play two songs for a dollar. So, sorority girls would come in put a dollar in, and play one lady gaga song and one other popular song at the time. It seemed like every third or fourth song was lady gaga. Being a sober person amongst drunk people playing the same songs all night long was getting on my nerves.

Lucky for me, there was a bar top game machine that also had touch tunes worked into the system. And, even luckier for me, I could play next for a dollar instead of the usual two dollars.

Every time lady gaga played, I’d put a dollar into the bar top console and I’d play next Hall & Oates “Rich Girl”. Yes, I’d probably lose money most of my tip out doing this, but it was worth it for me.

Took a couple nights for my manager to catch on, and he got a kick out of it. And it went on like this for a month or so until he got annoyed with it and told me to knock it off. Which I mostly did, but I’d still do it a couple times a night.

The best part for me was some sorority girl who asked her group of friends when my song came on, “what’s with this song playing all the time?”
