Poker and Gambling Songs

[Datdude1]

My favorite gambling song is The Gambler by Kenney Rogers. I first heard this song as a child watching the Muppets and liked it every since.

 

[Debi]

well this is fun!
never had focused on music. Just lett the gods of youtube take me where ever it flows. but I will defenetly check it out . there seems to be a lot of rock/metal aaaand i'm a sucker for that LUL + dylan and waits ... you never go bad with dylan and waits... NEVER!
Thanks for your dedication. Hope you had fun doing this =)

Love Tom Waits!

fantastic!
will listen to all of them (some already known)

I notice the URL is on the main page, but is there a link to it, apart from the one given by Debbie.
If not, I can add it to the 'wishlist', it can also be under strategy: ''poker and music'' or ''artist image''

I am not sure what you mean - the link I gave goes to the page about the songs.

Here's a few of my favorites from the list: Aces of Spades - Motorhead, Desperado - The Eagles, The Gambler - Kenny Rogers (you really do need to know when to to fold'em..)

But, it's missing one from a great Canadian band, Heart. The song "Straight On" has lots of poker references. Heart - "Straight On" - YouTube

Here's the lyrics:

Quite some time, I've been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances, I was a prisoner of doubt
I knocked down the wailin' wall, ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune, deal me in
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through, with you my friend
I'll take my chances on you, again and again, again
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you, ooh, ooh
Yeah for you
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
And now…

Good one - will see if I can get it added!

There are many songs about poker or gambling. The list you made is very rich! I will remind you another very familial song of Abba "the winner takes it all"
https://youtu.be/iyIOl-s7JTU
There are also Greek songs about gambling like the classic:

https://youtu.be/b6i3h1m-SwI

which says about a beaitifull girl and a dice game.

That song is beautiful! I will be in Greece soon - going to Mykonos.

Very good!!!!!!!

Great topic, you can listen to good old songs, but when I play then I like to listen to quiet music or do not listen but just in silence I play, but for fans of old songs it's just super!

"Gunsmoke"

Well I rode into town with my ear to the ground
Looking for the right hand to play
I felt just right in the heat of the night
I'd ridden many miles that day

I heard of a place where men got together
Playin' and layin' it down
I'm going in to win, but Lord, what a sin
I didn't know they'd gun me down

[Chorus:]
Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

Well the dealer was blind and I was trying to find
A way to keep the winnings I'd found
The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker
I still thought they'd gun me down

[Chorus:]
Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

I didn't come into this ol' two horse town to get all shot
I've got a little livin' on my mind
Aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha

Now the dealer dealt me eight and I had my straight
I knew the other men would call
The booze was a flowin', my cards were showing
But my back was up against the wall

[Chorus:]
Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run
C'mon Thunder

I like the Lady Gaga one.

The ones I know on list - Katy Perry, Elvis Presely, AC/DC and Aerosmith.

Here is a youtube playlist of songs many recent that may be poker related or have poker references in them:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8AF3D5F8FE02CCA5

These on the list is not really my cup of tea when it comes to music I listen to while playing poker as my playlist has none with Poker Themes except for the Lady Gaga one.

Here is an example of a playlist I listen to while playing:

[Datdude1]

I had not heard of some of these songs on the list but reading some of the lyrics I think I'll try to find some of them on the Internet and add a couple to my list.

One of the most fun things I have done at CardsChat was to help compile this page on poker and gambling songs. Tammy and I spent a couple of days trying to find as many as possible.

I confess that music in another language is new to me. Of all the artists mentioned in this video I recognize 4 and two of them because they are current stars and live or lived in the media, they do not want to say anything to me. I'm going to talk about two, that I know and I like the songs. they are Bob Dylan and Presley. so maybe I know the other songs, anyway, I'll check them out later. I found this topic very cool, and I would like to know if the song needs to talk about data cards or anything else ... since the songs I like to listen to are songs that play with my senses, they make me want to win, raise, follow, fight and do not speak literally of game itself, but subjectively to any dispute. if that is the case, I would like to share one with you. Thank you

 

[Zorba]

Sticking with the Aussies here, AC/DC's The Jack has always been a favourite of mine, Kenny's The Gambler is also a fave.

:top:

 

[CRStals]

Kenny Rogers and the Gambler still sticks out to me as the best gambling related song. Although, I will say that the music that I always attribute to poker must be the entrance song to ESPN's coverage of the World Series.

Animals-The House of Rising Sun

Maybe I am wrong and the ambiguous house of rising sun is just a brothel or something with slavery, but I always thought of the house of rising sun as a gambling place. Where the hero lose everything to gambling debts. I play it every time I lose my entire bankroll on gambling and I really connect to the lyrics. Dont need to put it on your playlist but worth being a forum suggestion hehe

Ps. Good luck visiting Mykonos. Prepare for a lot of drunk Italians on atv, horny teens at beach bars and since Mykonos hadnt touched from crisis expect to overpay everything..

 

[kingarthurrov]

Wow!!!

Great song , I ‘m glad to hear this song.


If don’t have this forum . I still will know song absolutely.

 

[albosaltenio]

you can go far listening to music helps concentrate, at least to me

 

[pescaofish]

The Best ever for me is The Glambler! mainly because it describes what Poker is all about.

You need to know when to Hold it, When to walk away ...... :ciao:

 

[Coherent16]

I usually listen to a hip hop playlist to get pumped up so I can play freely. But when I’m in tilt I play this one song called trap house to get off tilt to just remind me not to get trapped again

 

[whiskers77]

It is a really nice collection of songs in my opinion. So far I do not know all, but I will listen to all of them.

As I have seen, there are 2 version of poker face included.
I also know one, that is really nice and especially the video clip I like pretty much.
Check this out from Meg Pfeiffer:

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
without doubt one of the best songs related to the subject of betting.
that moment where you are on the train and play the game ...
very good.
Does anyone know an ac-dc that has to do with bets?

Take a look at this page and let us know your favorite songs - and see if you can find any we missed!

This is a long song but was one of my favorites when I was young:

Bob Dylan - Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts [New York Version] (1974 Outtake) - YouTube

with great pleasure I listened to this song, which my father listened to. he had a lot of Bob Dylan records.

Here's a few of my favorites from the list: Aces of Spades - Motorhead, Desperado - The Eagles, The Gambler - Kenny Rogers (you really do need to know when to to fold'em..)

But, it's missing one from a great Canadian band, Heart. The song "Straight On" has lots of poker references. Heart - "Straight On" - YouTube

Here's the lyrics

Quite some time, I've been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances, I was a prisoner of doubt
I knocked down the wailin' wall, ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune, deal me in
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through, with you my friend
I'll take my chances on you, again and again, again
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through

Straight on for you, ooh, ooh
Yeah for you
Comin' straight on for you, you made my mind
