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

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.

Not really relevant though. I remember people using it as just as a phrase, we knew better. We still used “a nickel” for a payphone call even though it was already a quarter.
