Trouble is, they may be random to us, but they mean something to the requestor.
Mine would be Ricky Tomlinson (yeah the Royal Family) and Are You Looking At Me?
Went down a storm when I played it (got the album from Amazon for £2.40 including delivery!) but would possibly bomb with any other audience...

The theme tune from the Fall Guy (The Unknown Stuntman).
Worked really well.

Years ago now...
Alberto y los trios paranoias (or something spelt very closely)
The problem was that they were mainly a live band.
Now there are several tracks available on download. Check them out!
And one time (luckily I had some tracks): Cheech & Chong.
NB. To the older DJs, this gives you a clue as to what sort of gigs I was booked for (it might even give you a clue as to some of the venues)!

Can't say I'm familiar with any music by this guy - who, purely as a passing comment, I find extremely un-funny.

The Yogi Bear song.
I hate it, and I hate the kind if people who ask for it.
(Usually overweight drunk females... but not always.)
If I wanted to play that kind of rubbish, I'd do it at a 14th birthday party, not a bleedin' adult disco.
I'll leave that trick to the cowboys.
OK, OK, I'm leaving.........
