Teen Gothic

There was a thread posted today from someone asking if goths listen to Kiss that reminded me of an incident at a club I was DJing at in the early 10s.

There was a regular who kept pestering me to play Kiss at a mixed genre goth club. I always said no. So they started pestering the manager too who backed me up.

We eventually got sick of them asking every event so the manager and I hatched a plan. I was going to play Kiss but not how they expected it. I found karaoke track and recorded my own vocals. I turned the song into a diss track and made it about pee and scat fetishism (instead of love and lust) including vomit and fart solos. We got our photographer in on it too and he filmed it all.

I have that video right here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AWcsUN2fAU

The Kiss requester took the joke well but the club owner was not happy as they were unaware of what we were doing but they were fine with it after we explained why and people in general enjoyed the joke.

They never requested Kiss again. And that is the moral of the story, be careful what you wish for from a DJ who is well known for also having a troll DJ persona. Don't get mad, get even and have a laugh in the process.

Now back to our regular weekly gripes and wrath.
