Song is misinformation. Jukeboxes were 3 songs for a quarter in the mid 70s, let alone 1981...

Yeah but “put another quarter in the jukebox baby” doesn’t work

Love the hard rock song and enjoy playing my drums to it. However, "put another dime in the jukebox baby" definitely was not of that era. Think you'd have to go back to the 50's for a dime. Still, there's literary license.

The Arrows who wrote it and originally performed it are a British Band and may not have gotten U.S. currency correct.

"Put a another florin in the jukebox." or "Put another crown in the jukebox." may have stumped U.S. audiences.
