Let's say you and a few buddies are down at the ol' watering hole, knocking back a few drinks, having a good time. One of your pals is trying to take home a pretty little thing, when her boyfriend comes storming inside the bar. He's got his crew with him and they're them backwoods, love-to-fight types. You know what's gonna go down. You reach in your pocket and pull out two quarters. You can choose one song on the jukebox to set the tempo for this pending brawl. Which song are you throwing down to?
I'm throwing down to "Everybody Wants You" by Billy Squire.
(NOTE: Please try to keep your selections to actual songs that would be on a jukebox. No weird TV themes, indie or death metal stuff.)

"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
That was more of a joke answer. Real answer would be "Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting" by Elton John. But only on Saturday Nights

The main theme from the fall guy. Or maybe the A-Team.

You realize, of course, that bars now have those jukeboxes which hook up to the internet so you can download and play songs, right? ;D
In that case ...
Misirlou by Dick Dale and the Dell Tones. You can hear this song on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
Face the Pain by Stemm. Oh yeah, they play this song at the beginning of UFC PPVs and Ultimate Fight Night Live. This song can get you ready to kick some ass, or get your ass kicked.
You Got Another Thing Comin' by Judas Priest. Nuff' said.
As for your scenario for the fight, I almost got into one like that. I went walking into a bar and an acquaintance of mine came walking up and asked "Do you got my back?" I said "What?" and he stormed off and got into a guy's face and told him that I had his back. When I looked at the situation, it looked bleak as there were 2 of us and he had a group of 5. I didn't even like the guy that much to fight for him.
Turns out that he had decided to smurf some guy's wife, and the guy he was starting shit with was the guy's best friend. So when I found out what the fight was about, I shook my head and just stood there drinking my beverage. the bartender came out and stopped the fight, and I asked the guy what the hell he was thinking dragging me into his drama.
The last time I tried to get into a bar fight, there was a group of 5 guys and one of the guys took a swing at a friend of mine. I looked at the odds, said "Smurf it!" and threw my beer down and walked over, making sure to grab a pool cue from a pool table, as if I was entering a situation like that, I wasn't going to smurf around. The security in the place stopped the fight and the bar owner's daughter accused my bud of starting a fight. I was like, "Who starts a fight with 5 guys?" Besides, these guys had been kicked out before for starting fights.
Needless to say, I never went back into that place.

We'll just say you're in a small-town bar that doesn't have an internet jukebox. So I'll accept Judas Priest as your final answer.

Actually, I've been in small town bars out in the boondocks (and yes, I really mean out in middle of nowhere) that have them, so I don't think your argument works. Besides, before the internet capable jukebox became popular, I was surprised by how many small town bars and a healthy heavy metal section on their jukeboxes. I walked into a bar in a town of less than 1000 people and they had Slayer, Metallica, Snot, and a slew of other metal artists.

For your argument, we'll say you're out in Hayward, Wisconsin where some bars are indeed still stuck in 1987. I get the fact you love death metal, but c'mon dude, don't be a music snob. This is just for grins.

This is just for grins. Yeah, I've been to Hayward ... Not the most updated jukeboxes up there. But one of the bars I went to that had all the metal was in Spring Valley, which if you're not from Wisconsin, you've probably never heard of it. I've ran into people all over the Midwest who know of Hayward ... just for Phipps, which is quite the dive of a nudie bar. I don't think I'm a music snob, I was just trying to make a point. But you are right about some small town bars ... friends of mine went into a bar in Woodville (once again, I doubt you'd know it) years ago and the owner unplugged the jukebox and kicked them out because they played metal. Weird, huh? And there was the small town bar I went into where a guy from out of town played some metal songs, and we had to sit through a bunch of country music to get to them. Once we got to them, the locals walked over to the jukebox and rejected them to get to more country songs. Way to keep people from out of town out of your townie bar ...
