Everyone who ever goes to bars has been in the similar situation of being accosted by an endless stream of crappy music from a juke box. And the bad music never comes in the form of one or two songs, it usually the person with the worst taste in music AND approximately $10 in quarters that they have decided to sink entirely into the complete discography of Meatloaf.
Now there is an invention to fight back against this. Some bars are actually outfitted with a device that allows the bartender to override the jukebox and skip to the next song. I'm sure it's called the "keep sanity" button in which it prevents the bartender from having to hear Freebird 5 times an hour.
The shutdown button is simple. Every table and/or stool in the bar is equipped with a switch, which can be turned on or off by the bartender (or possibly turned on by a pressure plate when the individual sits down). Once the button has been activated, it now is connected directly to the jukebox.
If an individual then decides to play, oh I don't know, Achy Breaky Heart, and the entire bar wants to kill him, this is how the shutdown occurs.
For example, if 10 people are in a bar, they each have a button. If they hear said song, if at least 5 people push their button, the music shuts off and skips to the next song. If all 10 people push their button, then the jukebox (especially designed) will recognize the fingerprints of the individual, and block them from choosing music for a 24 hour period.
A loose design on the idea of popular vote, but the next time a crappy song (or series of crappy songs from the same crappy genre) is played...just look around and see how many people cringe. And if you see a college girl flash the sign of the devil and go "whooo", then you know you're fucked.
