Music Hits Jukebox: Pub DJs have just become obsolete
We’re half way there…ooooohh…we’re living on a prayer.
More pop hits than an avalanche at the Chupa Chup factory. Yup, Music Hits Jukebox has the lot from 1959 to 2010.
You can’t touch this!
Okay, the presentation is a melted cheese toasty…but it’s fitting. Music Hits Jukebox isn’t about soul stirring alternative tracks…
…not predominantly, anyways. It’s about AM car radios, school socials, and dodgy pub DJs playing Billy Idol and Madonna.
How’s it work? Music Hits Jukebox draws all of it’s material from YouTube and curates it into handy categories for you.
More categories than you can poke a Kentucky Fried drumstick at.
Thirty five categories in total. And each category features no less than one hundred songs.
Of course, since we’re dealing with YouTube, the quality’s a bit hit and miss. Many of the songs have manifested as concert cams taken by the crew or by rabid fans.
Yes, that's Barry Manilow!
The fan videos come in all shapes and middle aged spreads
Not much to look at…the videos, not the fans…but great for an eyes shut reminiscence session in the hammock on a Sunday arvo.
That said, it’s on the good quality vids that Music Hits Jukebox comes into its own, turning your iPhone into a little portal to fond memories land.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows? Actually, why aren’t there a whole lot more? The world would be a merrier place.
And searching those snippets of long lost youth out?
Piece of pie cake. If exploring the categories isn’t your cup of gumboot tea…
Then you can always plug in a favourite band and see what happens.
Now we’re talking. Where’s a pair of acid wash jeans when you need them?
And like I said, there’s everything here from the birth days of pop…
…to the present day(ish).
And of course, you can make your own playlists should you wish to curate your a little nostalgia session for yourself.
Well now, hasn’t this been a little gushy rant, eh?
Yup, and proud of it. I spent far far longer than I should have playing around with Music Hits Jukebox before finally sitting down to hammer out this article.
Why? Music Hits Jukebox is a big, free, steaming pile of fun.
