Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

I'd like to build an MP3 playlist to run during games. What are your suggestions for poker/gambling related songs for the list? As the list gets going I'll update this thread with what we have so far.

This is probably not known by many, (if any), but here's my first submission, which happens to be a favorite song of mine:

<font color="red"> Los Vargos </font> by Green Apple Quickstep

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Casino Queen -- Wilco

"I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green."

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

O.A.R. - Crazy Game of Poker
Grateful Dead - Loser
Grateful Dead - Deal

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Turn of a Friendly Card - Alan Parsons Project

"oh the game never ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card."

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

"Mississippi Flush" Ray Wylie Hubbard (this could be one of the best poker songs ever)
"the Card Cheat" - the Clash (as is mentioned above)
"House of the Rising Sun" - Woody Guthrie

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

well, I suppose *somebody* has to say it....

Kenny Rogers -- "The Gambler"
You've got to know when to holdem, know when to foldem...

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

I prefer the Johnny Cash version of "The Gambler"

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

As I don't normally (ever) post here, whatsup. I think that party favorites, on a digital cable music channel, work well, especially if there are other people not into the game there. Good old school hip hop and popular reggae, very depending on the crowd, are good for the right mood. I like rock and way out alternative, some trance myself, but a lot of that isn't any good for background. That, and here are some good ones...

Take the Money and Run- Steve Miller Band
Mack the Knive- Frank Sinatra
I Ain't Goin' Out Like That- Cypress Hill
Ace of Spades- Motorhead
Kings and Queens- Aerosmith
Beat It- Michael Jackson (for joke value)
Take Five- Dave Brubeck Quartet

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Phil Harris' "Darktown Poker Club" is a must.

Don't forget AC/DC's "The Jack," which is so full of poker/sex double-entrendres that it should be canonized.

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Losing money in Vegas by High Strung

Local band, used to be a friend of mine.

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Trudy--Charlie Daniels Band

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Thought of this OMW to a game tonight, and I can't believe none of us has brought it up:

Viva Las Vegas - The King

I'm sure once I look through my musical selections I'll have more, but off the top of my head:

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

The new Ludacris album has a song called "Put Your Money" that I've been listening to while playing.

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

I'm not interested in reading this whole thread, but did anyone say "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Greenday?

Re: Consolidated Update
 

Great job everyone! This is really cool... great variety of music for the great variety of people playing in poker games! I snagged a bunch off the net too, from blogs and such, which I will add later.

There are a lot of songs here I don't know, so if anyone sees one that should not be on here, let me know.

I'll update weekly (or so) listing of the songs.

Helluva list there, TenPercenter. In my experience, 132 songs is a pretty good number for a 6-7 hour game mix.

It's late, and I don't have the energy to go through all of your list right now. I completely forgot about "Gallo del Cielo". It's about cock fighting, not poker, but it is about gambling, and it's a great song.

St. John the Gambler is a good song, too, but it might not be appropriate for poker night. The tempo is slow, and the song is a bit of a downer:
But the road was long beneath her feet. She followed her frozen breath,
In search of a certain St. John the Gambler, stumbling to her death.

--

I did recall a few more that should be on the list:

Corb Lund Band - "Time to Switch to Whiskey"
I've been splittin' eights and hittin' straights in the card rooms of this world.

Corb Lund Band - "(Gonna) Shine Up My Boots"
Gonna find me a game of hold 'em if I can.
I'll fold 'em all night long, 'til I got me a hand.

Robert Earl Keen, Jr. - "Sonora's Death Row"
I won some silver at seven-card stud, so I was out-doin' my pals.

I'm surprised Juice Newton's "Queen of Hearts" hasn't come up yet.

There are also a couple that have nothing to do with poker, but they're pretty popular among our micro-limit home game players:
Blue Ridge Playboys - Give Me My Dime Back (we love this one!)
Louvin Brothers - Cash on the Barrel Head

I never did go through all of my MP3s, but I do have many of the songs listed. Unfortunately, I'm on dialup. Besides, such file sharing would be illegal, as would me dropping off a CD the next time I got the nerve to drive down to the big city of Dallas.

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

I gotta add "When the Chips are Down" by Lloyd Banks...

Love this song, but may not fit in well with all those other songs.

Also-Not Addicted, by The Streets. Not specifically about poker, just a good song about a guy who wants to place a big bet on a soccer game, but can't place the bet in time. then he finds out he would have lost the bet. pretty good song.

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Great call Plaster8 with "Casino Queen"

Here are a few:

Gram Parsons - Ooh Las Vegas
The Flying Burrito Brothers - Sin City
??? - Gallo del Cielo (about cockfights, but eh...)
The Grateful Dead - Me and My Uncle

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Gallo del Cielo is by Joe Ely

Joe Ely did a good cover, but Tom Russell Wrote it.

There're a couple other Ray Wylie Hubbard songs that may be of interest: "Rollin' them Bones" (not his best) and his ballad "Dust of the Chase":

I come down from Oklahoma, a pistol in my boot.
A pair of dice, a deck of cards, and a bible in my suit.
I come here as the cause of tears, I am a cryin' shame,
7-stud or eternal blood, just lookin' for a game.

Steve Earle caught a miner cheatin' in a company town card game in "Devil's Right Hand"

Wasn't the protagonist's father dealing stud when found in "A Boy Named Sue"?

I also think the narrator was out playing poker late (and losing) in Ricky Scaggs' "Honey (Won't You Open That Door?)"

Another gambling related song I thought of (though not poker) is "Mr. Siegal" by Tom Waits Well, I dropped thirty grand on the Nugget slots, I had to sell my ass on Fremont Street...

There may be more of Waits' songs that qualify. He often wrote about lowlifes, including gamblers.

More if I think of them.

Obviously, you've never been to an O.A.R. show! And I am not necessarily saying you should like the music - they bring a lot more to the table - you would appreciate them a lot more if you've ever been to a show. Those who have been will know what I mean [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

A recent conversation:

"Did they play 'Crazy Game of Poker' last night?"

"They ALWAYS play 'Crazy Game of Poker'!"

"Well did they play 'Crazy Game of Poker' last time you saw them?"

"They ALWAYS play 'Crazy Game of Poker'!"

Re: Post your submissions for the Poker Playlist
 

Yeah, my mistake. Didn't realize that until after I posted. But it's a hell of a cover nonetheless.

Re: UPDATED LIST
 

I saw that you added "Lonesome Loser to the list, so then I think a little Social Distortion, "Bad Luck", should be there as well because you can't have a "Lonesome Loser" without a little "Bad Luck".

Also, I might have missed it, but Clint Black's "A Good Run of Bad Luck" is another one for the "Lonesome Loser".

Additionally, I noticed you have both Elvis' and ZZ Top's version of Viva Las Vegas on your list. There is a pretty good version of this song on disc 3 of Bruce Springsteen's Essentials set you may want to consider.

Finally, since the promo's for TILT have brought it back around "Remedy" from the Black Crowes is just a great song even though the only thing that remotely connects it to poker is a show on which the verdict is still out.

If someone creates a playlist out this list to download please let me know where to get it. There are some great tunes on this list.

Re: UPDATED LIST
 

May have missed it but for tourney's I think Queens "Another one bites the dust" is a must as well as "We are the Champions" for the final table [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Not even a Queen fan but was listening to the Big 80's on Sirrius on our road trip yesterday... heard the song thought of the list.

Does anyone know of an easy (and relatively inexpensive) way to collect all of these songs online without being arrested (I know, too many rules!)? I did a little searching and kept hitting a brick wall, but I am not the most surf savvy guy on the planet.

I'd love to have these songs ready to go for my home games!

Re: UPDATED LIST
 

My first post. +2 on Social Distortion's "Bad Luck". Fantastic song. I'm loading up my new iPod for the game I host next month. We're all classic rockers, so here's a partial list, sorry if I repeat...

Tom Petty "Even the Losers"
Who "Happy Jack"
Warren Zevon "Lawyers, Guns and Money" ("I was gambling in Havana")
Rolling Stones "Tumblin' Dice"
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Give It Away"
Randy Newman "It's Money that Matters"
Black Crowes "Remedy" (tilt theme, I believe)
Alan Parsons Project "Nothing left to lose"

We also make sure to start each tournament with the playing of our national anthem...

Re: UPDATED LIST
 

Great thread!!! I compiled my own list awhile back for my poker nights... I've got a few you don't have...

Pink Floyd - money (First song on my list, can't believe nobody suggested this yet!)
B.G. - Bling, Bling
Notorious BIG - Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
New Radicals - You Get What You Give
ABC - How to be a Millionaire
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby
Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Gloria Gaynor or Cake - I Will Survive
N.E.R.D. - Loser
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
SNAP - I've Got the Power
Jay-Z - Money Ain't a Thing
Public Enemy - He Got Game

Some of em' are questionable, and the good ol' boys probably will do without the hip-hop and rap, but they play good with my crowd. Great list and thanks to all who contributed.. I've definitely added quite a few of your selections to my list!
