Ten cents a tap dance…..

And no more jukebox, it’s all streamed WITH a CC

I never knew why they called it a juke box. I was born in the 40’s – too young, I guess.

I assume it derived from “Juke Joints” – dance halls in the 30’s and ’40’s.

“Bubba shot the jukebox last night”.

With all the banks failing, we will probably be back to coins and bills soon.

I was born in the 40’s, but the juke boxes were only a nickle!

Prop me up beside the juke box if I die…..

Rock on, Joan Jett!

I love Rocky Road…..

I don’t wanna hear that song no more.

Great tune from The Flirts.

But please, Mister, please, don’t play B-17!

“Tap your card to pay, bae… let’s get jinky tonight!” …just a thought

Quote: The word “jukebox” came into use in the United States beginning in 1940, apparently derived from the familiar usage “juke joint”, derived from the Gullah word juke, which means “bawdy”.6 Manufacturers of jukeboxes tried to avoid using the term, associated with unreputable places, for many years.7

I thought the lyric to the song was Put another nickel in / In the nickelodian

Some phrases just speak “Romance.” Others, not so much.

I would be careful if I were you Cosmo there could be a skimmer on that jukebox.

Play some tap dance music, so I can tap some more…

That’s what she said.

“Please, mister, please don’t play B17…”

I thought the Teresa Brewer song was “Put another Nickel in…”?
