A few years ago at a downtown Orlando club we’ll not identify by name, a certain DJ actually got on the mic to address his half-full dance floor at around midnight or so with this absolute classic call to action:
“Dance, you faggots.”
I’d like to have seen a thought bubble over him for that one.
A couple of friends of mine once witnessed a Toronto DJ threatening the crowd with a 4-bar loop from Toxic (yes, the Britney hit) to dance or “THIS LOOP WON’T STOP”.
Two true experiences that will go in the chapter ‘Gay functions I have Done’ - when I write my memoirs.
One of these worked and one didn’t.
I was DJ’ing at a gay wedding - it was time to start the evening and about 75% of the guests were gay couple friends of the happy couple.
I started spouting some stuff over the mic and said ‘it’s time to start the evening in a traditional manner with a first dance for the groom and …er groom’.
This was well recieved unlike a comment I made at another function, again attended by a majority gay crowd organised as a surprise by a woman for her partner.
I again started the evening by putting my size 10’s in it, but saying ‘Welcome to (name of the woman’s) special night, before I go any further I’d just like to say that the guy standing behind me is in fact my Dad’ :eek:
A favourite I heard a DJ once say to a crowd of people that just wouldn’t dance no matter how hard he tried.
‘Listen…Everyone sitting down now - I want you to all join hands and we are going to see if we can contact the living’
