    Default Poker in music?

    I've been searching for music that has something to do with poker. This far I've found "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers and "Do you dare make a bet with Amarillo Slim" by John Ritter (this one was a pain in the *** to hunt down) . I also heard a song that seemed to talk about blackjack and texas hold'em in a CSI episode but can't remember anything else about it (should probably google more).

    Anything else?

    Well there's of course "ace of spades" by Motorhead, duh. Then I think Insane Clown Posse had a bit about gambling and poker if my memory serves me right. Then I'm sure I've heard a song just called "poker", but I'm not really sure whose song it was. Just remember the radio announcer going "and that was 'poker' by...".

    If you stretch the topic a bit further "the angel and the gambler" pops to mind (Iron Maiden) and, heh, "the winner takes it all" by Abba

    Edit: Allmusic gave me Electric Light Orchestra when I searched for song name: "poker" (well also Charles Aznavour, but since I don't even know who that is I'd say it's a safe bet that I heard ELO). There's also a song called "poker face" performed by Billy Satellite (?) and loads of other poker related songs

    What about "House of the rising sun"?

    I like the abba one very much, but the best poker song that comes to my mind is "Spanish Train" with Chris de Burgh. A must! :-)
