Murphy’s Laws of Dance

A transformation of the famous Murphy’s Laws ( It’s listed at the end of the article ) to a setting easily recognized by DJs and rave kids alike.

    1. If a pickup can jump, it will.

    2. A monitor won’t.

    3. The number of DJ groupies available are NOT proportional to the average R of your 12″ records.

    4. Fixed playing schedules aren’t.

    5. The main attraction of the line-up will leave early, or arrive late.

    6. Noone cares about #5, since he always tears the roof off of the place anyway.

    7. The product of R and C is inversed proportionally to A. (Snickars’ Law of Rarity)

    8. The number of DJ mixers > The number of earphones > The number of small-to-large-DIN-plug adapters. (Lif’s General Number Assumption)

    9. As P goes towards infinity, C goes towards zero. (Greiff’s Law of Credibility)

    10. The size of the DJ booth is always one half of the size needed for all the stuff people try to “leave there for a minute”.

    R = Rarability of the record
    C = Credibility of the DJ/record
    A = Availability of the record
    P = Playability of the record

    Murphy’s Laws:
    • If anything can go wrong, it will
    • If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
    • If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway
    • If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop
    • Corollary: It will be impossible to fix the fifth fault, without breaking the fix on one or more of the others
    • Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
    • If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
    • Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
    • Mother nature is a bitch
