Which three for my coin?

With thanks from my,

Flagging spirits,

Jukebox lights my night

My sagging mood

Lifted by its three

Three tunes have

Chosen my mood

Life force reinstated.

My essence Jukeboxed

With three tunes for a coin

Every Friday it calls

  1. So what songs would you choose to set the mood for the evening?
    Because that is what music can do, change or set the mood.
    Three for a quarter is a steal as well.

    Thanks for joining in.

    1. here in England we used to get three for a pound. but back in my teen years it would have to be one Queen song, one Bon Jovi followed by anything by the Kinks but now in my Fifties anything goes even a bit of Ed Sheran

  3. Love this one! Sounds like some good times there with the music. To be honest, when I’m feeling blue, music does lift me out of that sometimes. 🙂 You capture that perfectly here, especially with how it can change moods.

  6. Oh yeah! And remember the line of buttons….one on top of the other so you had an unbelievable number of combinations to push….Hound Dog by Elvis Presley, A12…..plug in the quarters, choose that one….arm moved, it dropped down, and voila, the hips started movin’ even if you were sitting in a booth sipping on a chocolate malt! 🙂

  16. Three tunes per coin – I remember that! Turns out I have my own juke box memories 🙂 My dad used to give me a pound for the juke box to keep me entertained down the pub…
