2 pages (about 40 songs) from her favorites and 1 page (more densely typed, 20+ songs) from him. And the worst part was they were way out left and right field. Living up to that night’s request list ment something akin to watching a tennis match. Left, right, left, right, left, right.
Needless to say I did it (played about 60-70% of each list), everyone was happy at the end of the night, well at least the bride and groom and they were footing the substantial bill, but it wasn’t exactly my finest hour. I have since that night limited the “wish list” to a max of 5 all-time favorites for the happy couple. Sure, I’ll accept 6 from time to time, but no more jukeboxing with a 60+ song wishlist.

EDIT: Oops … this WAS for a wedding, still ridiculous though LOL
EDIT 2: Yes, any GUEST bringing an actual list to a party he is guest at is in some serious need of professional help. A) you are not paying for the party, so where do you get off thinking you can dictate the musical flavor for the better part of the night (38 tracks is roughly 2 hours) and B) where is your faith in the perfoming DJ to have a good music selection for the crowd in question and finally C) whatever happened to spontaneity and letting yourself be surprised by the tunes the DJ picks (granted, the last is a hot issue all the way down to the clubs, people in general don’t seem to like surprises much anymore. We have a saying here that goes -freely translated- something like this: “what the farmer doesn’t know, the farmer doesn’t eat”. Clubbers and partygoers tend to be a bit like that these days. Unknown music = frown and sit down)
