Jukebox
Flirts The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I saw you in the pizza place
You were with another girl
It was a crime it was such a disgrace
You really shattered my world

Little things remind me of you
Cheap cologne and that damn song too
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Then I learned the treacherous end
You were with my best friend
Ain't got no class ain't got no respect
My broken heart will never mend

Little things remind me of you
Cheap cologne and that damn song too

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song no more
Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song!

Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song no more

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Then I learned the treacherous end
You were with my best friend
Ain't got no class ain't got no respect
My broken heart will never mend

Little things remind me of you
Cheap cologne and that damn song too

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song no more
Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song!

Don't want to hear that song no more No! No!
Don't want to hear that song no more

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more




Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Overall Meaning

In "Jukebox" by The Flirts, the singer expresses her frustration with a painful breakup. The song is about the devastation that follows finding out that your ex-partner is with someone else. The lyrics mention specific triggers that bring back memories of the lost love, such as the cheap cologne that they wore and a particular song that they used to love. The singer’s pain is particularly acute because it turns out that their ex-partner is now with the singer's best friend.


The song is a plea to the jukebox not to play the song that reminds the singer of her heartbreak any longer. The chorus repeatedly states that the singer is done with that song and doesn't want to hear it again. The denial of listening to that song seems like a symbolic gesture of moving on from the pain. Unfortunately, the memories are too potent and persistent in the singer's mind. The song has a catchy beat and upbeat melody, which creates a juxtaposition with the somber lyrics.

This song is like candy to the ears. One of those great hidden gems of the 80's.
