bugger me the song has appeared on the request lists of the next three weddings.
do you find the same, if you mention a song you've not heard for along time, then people start requesting it or you hear it a lot on the radio?
Full Version: unsual request list items

I find these kind of strange things happen to me a lot at present - for instance whilst driving to a gig we passed another hotel and I commented that we hadn't been in there for a while - the next day a booking came in for that hotel. 
Another one I've noticed over the last few weeks is that during the evening I get at least one request for something that I'd heard on the radio whilst driving to the gig.
And if I make a comment that I haven't heard from X recently chances are the phone will ring shortly afterwards.
Coincidence possibly but it does seem to happen frequently - now what about that lottery win

It could be a coincidence, but it could have something to do with age and stuff? Maybe these three weddings were of people at the same sort of age and this was a big tune for them for one period of their life. After all, if you played three 40ths fairly close to each other, you'd expect the requests to be similar and while weddings aren't fixed in the same way as 40ths, you'd expect some sort of pattern in the age of people getting married.
Also, you'd have to think about why you started talking about that track. Had you heard it anywhere and could other people at the wedding have heard it?
Which brings me on to ...

The obvious answer to this one is that the person who requested it also heard it on the radio while driving to the gig! :-)
We sometimes think there is a spy following us around.
It seems that if we suddenly play an unusual track, it appears shortly after on radio or as an ad on tv or a cover version is released
.
Examples are when doing a valentine night, they had a longest kiss comp and said play something appropriate. So out came Kiss Me, Honey, Honey, Kiss Me. A few weeks later it turned up as an ad for cereal.
Another is Jeans On, which we started slipping in last year. The intro is now being used in a car advert.
And Yes, Sir, I Can Boogie turned up as a shoe ad.
I get worried that they will be around when I play a really dire request and it gets picked up.
Must be careful with playlists in future.
