    in diesem Zusammenhang eventuell tanzen, aber:

    the term jukebox did not appear until the late 1930s and its origins are in dispute. Some believe it is derived from the African word jook, meaning to dance. Others link it to the juke joints—roadside bars located in the South and frequented by African Americans—that were popular at that time.

    Die Herleitung des isolierten Begriffs bei MW fine ich selbst eigentlich fast besser:

    probably alteration of English dialect jouk to cheat, deceive
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/juke

    Man könnter ableiten, dass ja keine echten Musiker in der Box sitzen. Aber s. o.

    Zu Jukebox sagt MW übrigens:

    Etymology:
    from dialect jukehouse brothel, from juke to have sexual intercourse with, of Atlantic Creole origin; akin to Jamaican English juk to poke, stab, Krio chuk

    Somit dürfte es im Dunkeln beliben, was genau gemeint ist.
