      Its a little known fact that crazy parties are like baking. It’s a very precise recipe

    2. “Some Hispanic music if Hispanic kids” brings weird nuance to the problematic grouch of “no rap or nasty music.”

      Further, Macarena to Wobble to Whip to Cotton Eye Joe with a few minutes between is maniacal

      >FOG before opening 

      lol

      I’ve had to play “the dance songs” when doing sound for cover band… Play Cupid Shuffle, they shuffle, play The Wobble, they wobble. Then I always play The Hustle, everyone sits down..

      Umm excuse me, a skating rink and “Ghostbusters” isn’t on the playlist? Excuse me? that was only like one of THE skating songs in the 80s. It’s a fantastic song to skate to.

      Love that they have put “no rap or nasty music,” but you’re **required** to play fucking Macarena, a sleazy song about aggressively hitting on a woman, because there’s a silly white person dance routine you can do to it and they don’t understand the lyrics lol
      On a side note, “no junk in the club” is something I’m gonna say now

      It seems like the owners of this place have a complexion paler than the paper that note is printed on.

      My new favorite if/then. If Hispanic kids, then play some Hispanic music.

      No rap? How are we supposed to skate to Coolio with no rap?

      The mystery as to why skating rinks are going under has been solved.

      It’s crazy, some of these songs haven’t changed in 30 years.

      Source: worked at a rink and have listened to Cotton Eye Joe more times than any other living human being

      Aw, do they not use the Limbo song any more? That was all the craze when I was at skating rinks in the 90s! Every time I went they had a Limbo contest with that song!

      I used to work at a club where management put up signs saying not to play rap music bc it would damage the speakers… said speakers were definitely designed with rap in mind. When the owner was there we would play classic rock. As soon as he left we switched to rap.

      Man, growing up my skating rink fed my love for The Cranberries and 10,000 Maniacs by playing “Linger” and “Because the Night” all the time. Maybe some Mariah here or there, but it was always the hits of the time mixed with these awesome songs.

    13. Fourwindsgone on

      No La Bouche? No Haddaway? No DJ Sammy?

      What kind of skate rink is this?!

    14. As someone who spent every Friday night at a roller rink in a questionable part of town, im in shambles over no nasty music. I demand Petey Pablos song, Raise Up.

    15. As someone who hasn’t been to a roller rink since like 2001 is Limp bizkit- Rollin not a on repeat song anymore

      Damn, a white boi with an affinity for Selena can’t get a little motion?

      Always odd to me that Wobble is considered a kid friendly song when it’s literally suggesting to shake your tits.

    18. Geekenstein on

      Everyone going on about the music, and here I am thinking “skating rinks still exist?”

    19. Wobble, Whip/Nae Nae and Cupid shuffle. Have not heard any of these songs. But Cotton Eye Joe, you know things are serious when that comes on.

    20. Due-Stock2774 on

      Wow the Hispanic kids get a little music thrown their way, coupled with rap being nasty music lol

      Gets easier to guess this persons race the more you read the list

    21. brickson98 on

      The Macarena, Cotton Eye Joe, and Cupid Shuffle are unaffected by the passage of time 😂.

      But no rap? I get no nasty music. There’s gonna be kids. But no rap at all? Definitely written by some crabby boomer. Only allowing Hispanic music if there’s Hispanic kids? Yup, just reenforcing that it’s some boomer.

    22. jadegives2rides on

      Im glad cotton eye Joe is still in the mix but where the fuck is the cha cha slide.

      I always had to take my skates off for it, wasnt talented enough to do it in skates lol

    23. Whoever wrote this doesnt speak spanish, a lot of those songs you think are kid friendly cuz theyre upbeat or poppy are NASTY

    24. MegaAscension on

      It’s crazy, when I grew up going to the roller skating rink in the early 2010s, it was typically Rihanna, Kesha, The Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull, Usher, Britney Spears, etc

    25. Yrddraiggoch on

      25 straight minutes of Cotton Eyed Joe is downright cruel and should be against the Geneva Conventions.
