Tone Loc stole the riffs from several songs including Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'".

@DJFrederickHart yeah I actually did a video about that 2 1/2 years ago

What you called "programing" is called creating a set list and my fellow DJs and I have been doing it for a long time.

[briansredd]

@coolcj15 hmm well, creating a set is HOPEFULLY done by using intellegent programing.

@ 10:15 a very touch subject, Going against what the B&G requested NOT to do.

Each event is different and as you touched on what you decide to do is dependant on HOW you decide to do it.

Good vid & of course the songs are subject to change...lol

[briansredd]

@theRoyal1 I NEVER suggested to go against anyone's wishes, Royal1. I only stated that some B&G say they do not want line dances.

When I have a client like that, when I do my consult, I will find out why songs are on thier don't play list & make suggestions and consult from there.

I keep things very basic. I use iTunes. Using the music selected by the couple I create "Play LIsts". Wedding Activites (First Dance, Money Dance, Cake Cutting, etc.), Wedding Fun Songs (Chicken Dance, Conga, YMCA, etc.),  Wedding Dinner Music (Jazz, Classical, Contemporary, Slow Songs, etc.). I also create an agenda which keeps things going smoothly. Great video Brian.

[TheSweetKnight]

What is the DJ Tools thing you were talking about could you explain that more and also a link to what that is?

[epohnopulse]

@coolcj15 A "set list" is the order in which the DJ's play at an event.
