      alternatively “queue”, when the music isn’t appropriate just yet

        Wait… No? I thought standing in line was a queue and a director would give you a cue.

            You’re absolutely right, a queue is a line where you wait and a FIFO data storage. I was making a pun, since both Spotify and YouTube (and likely numerous other platforms) have a “queue” for titles to play after the current one, and the verb “putting something at the end of a queue” is “to enqueue”, sometimes shorted to *to queue" (which normally means to stand in line yourself, a favorite pastime of the British)

      Exactly. The DJ is a native Spanish speaker and he’s asking which ominous music you want him to play. /s
