Blackjack Song Parodies

[MoneyPlays]

Greetings! As some of you know, I have posted a few song parodies about blackjack. Just something I've been doing for awhile on all kinds of subjects, but all blackjack lately. So this is the place if anyone is inclined to write.

I'm going to start this off with a tribute to one of our own: creeping panther. I heard the song 'Eye of the Tiger' the other day and it inspired me to write 'Eye of the Panther'
Hope you enjoy it.

Eye of the Panther
Creepin' up, backcounts the shoe
Takes his time, takes no chances
Playin’ Blackjack
He begins to pursue
He’s a man with the skills to survive

So many times, it happens so fast
Don’t waste time, get the money
Keeps a strong grip
On the dreams of the past
And he’ll fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

Face to face, stares down the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still they’re gonna get beat
He’s a cat with the skill for the kill

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now he’s not gonna stop
He’s a man with the will to prevail

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

The eye of the panther

mmoa

2009 bj-bash
what will happen no one can tell
excepting friendship, fabulous dinning and a fine hotel
and attached a dream chamber
there in a stream of dreams amidst all the clamber
guarded and fed by an edge probable
vulnerable as the dream catchers assemble
hidden secret of the MMOA venue
beats the mathamatics of expected value

MID-WEST BJ BASH
MMOA
U of A
PREADATORS
it was cold.
couldn't sleep the night before the trip.
too excited, anticipation.
the games are known, excellent games.
fine six and double deck.
sims and stats, expectations known.
game plans drawn
set out early, before dawn.
luggage and bankroll stowed.
snacks on hand, coffee.
odometer set, time noted.
heading North, expected travel time, nine hours.
it took eleven.
pulled out of the driveway.
the wifes already nodding off.
weather is fine, just cold.
warm, in the car.
cities, towns and countryside passes by.
this is a road trip.
we are heading for panther territory.
part of the stealthy ones wide estate.
i take note along the way.
billboards for casino after casino.
but we drive on, further and further.
i mentaly note that another course if taken
would be as rich in casino's far and wide.
more of the panther's abide.
and now it's wilderness no cities, towns or even farms.
primordial beauty abounds. i expect to see
deer, moose, elk and maybe even a bear.
but it just begins to snow.
and snow.
this new car has yet to be tested by me in the snow.
she tracks well and true.
a bell rings, strange what was that?
a bell deep in the wilds, for i had failed to fill the gasoline tank.
my wife explains how we'd better not run out of gas.
in this snow and wilderness.
i reply how it's an old romantic ploy for girl and boy.
NOT! she replies, "you'll be hoofin it for gas",
fougetaboutit.
and she tells me by her time we will be late to register for
the fine promotion the stealthy one has arranged.
i ask her what adventure she wants to share with me next.
as i nervously glance at the gas gauge.
i comment, my how the snow is really comming down and ask
do you really think we will be too late, what ever shall we do.
"just find some gas", she retorts.
and there in the pristine winter wonderland was a gas station.
and the snow kept comming down with renewed fury.
spun out cars and a truck or two.
when we were passed, my how the snow blew.
road weary as we were
like the snow our minds in blur
there came into sight as dusk drew near
a sight that was most dear
a resort nestled along a lake
inviting us our rest to take.
my wife on seeing this no longer weary.
this place is so inviting, warm and cheery.
protection from the wind, cold snowy night so dreary.
huge fire places burning warm,
people in this place hustling and bustling about.
the wife having succesfully registered
rushs up too me luggage in tow
"we are all set"
"and your not gonna believe what we get!"
a gift, money back, slots tokens
and more best left unspoken.
it was in the cards, we would eat good.
off to our room, a room with a view, what a view, snow covered landscape, pine trees and lake.
my wife flopping on the bed,
exclaims,"what a deal!" and i thought, just as the panther said.
we unpack, get comfortable and my cell phone goes off.
System Trader's on the hook.
so down in the lobby i go for him to look.
he knows me by my old worn faded blue ball cap.
and that's how i met this wonderful chap.
a trader for real indeed and most adventuresome gentleman indeed.
well travelled pilot, skydiver and a climber this fellows done about most every deed.
that i'd only dreamed i might one day do.
System Trader had already scoped the casino,
so he showed me about as i did follow.
fine blackjack games he did point out,
and all just seemed too delicious to try out.
besides we were hungry so for dinner we did meet.
fine food and excellent conversation we enjoyed at our table.
where i learned of System Trader his adventures and travel
and asked far to many questions with still many more.
then it was time, with full belly, for a nap, a short rest.
then down to the tables to give the games a test.
two hours flat betting i'd made 30 smackers
and noticed a very young gentleman at a table near
a way about him i thought i could decipher.
and i was correct, Treydog was here.
and then i notice a gentleman speak with Trey, and that was Creeping Panther.
so now we've all met, shaking hands in our commoradory.
the bj-bash is about to make history.
so thats what we do, is we play blackjack.
MMOA is on the attack.
Treydog is winning like crazy,
Panther is up,
System Trader is up, down and up.
me i lose my thirty up at a craps min so low i just had to try.
so back to the tables, best i could do is survive.
the games and conditions are swell.
on and on into the night goes our blackjack foray, so many stories to tell.
i hit a hard twelve against a dealer five in a low count,
making a ploppy table mate have to spout.
ha, ha next table over the stealthy one gets a kick out of this.
and so it goes into the night
our fantastical bjbash, commrades do fight.
a break for a meeting, discussion and telling tales,
like in bjinfo.com tradition, true friendship prevales.
so the next day after a fine free breakfast there is much to mention,
unfortunately the details breaking our cover i have no intention.
lets just say promo's can be fun and lucrative.
another day of the bj-bash is unfolding. i nail down a bj tourney final table, not a win but ohh so close, i found Ken's writings most instructive.
another great meal we all now share.
a pleasure us four, my wife and CP's wife were there.
and then Creeping Panther did us each the honor of honors,
bestowing upon us a most gracious gift, our garmets bearing the MMOA coat of arms.
in the great comfortable lounge we sit and shoot the bull,
and there i learn that Treydog hasn't confidence full.
i try my best to make him realize he's more Top dog than Tredog.
it was such a pleasure to watch him play.
his comming out on top, his perfect play made my day.
Trey has an act of acts to beat all acts, so much fun to watch.
System Traders courage, fortitude and his catching the dealer's hole card is something i will never forget.
and Creeping Panther's play is smooth as silk spun with confidence that wins the bet.
me i knuckled down on that double deck,
just to show i could keep it in check.
so i got demolished in a dream count six deck shoe one on one.
the hole i fell in not to be undone.
still for these experiences i would pay
if we could do it all another day.

insider info

shuffle
wash, strip, riffle
go ahead get'em mixed
thinkin i'm gonna be tricked
lay your trap upon the table
fool me if your able
did you know i read your book and history?
don't you know i love a good mystery?
didn't you momma tell you there is no system can't be beat?
cast your rules under a random shroud
hidden beneath your fixed game, cheat
i know full well the meaning, the terms you allowed
don't you know that i know that i won't win?
how you give me just enough to suck me in
go ahead and win, honey
i'm gonna take your money
so it is the deck is stacked
careful, though your secret's been hacked
chances are we just might
restack the cards in this fight
splits, doubles downs, insurance bets and the snapper
and oh, yeah your gonna pay for my supper
so you always win more often,
thinking maybe my heart you'll soften
but i'm watching and waiting
catch a glimpse of your heel
go ahead Achilles and deal
the time will come and your advantage i'll be negating
the cards they are a falling unfolding a history
the random cloud is lifting unveiling the mystery
and i can clearly see
perhaps a double, insurance bet or natural
just might very well in my future be
advantage may be actual
for sometimes it is true as the cards are dealt
the low's are seen streaming across the felt
leaving aces and faces left unseen
my chances of doubles, insurance and blackjack is keen
bet now carefully crafted i'll gamble
my insurance, snapper, tie, or double
i can't be sure in this random scramble
just know this, you may be in trouble.

"would you color me up hun, thanks so much"

lady luck

in games of chance
luck's been allowed
but something shrouds her expected dance
her nature tamed and shackled
her power even then
captivates the hearts of men
and yet this fickle lady wild but not free
charms our joy and misery
and all the while
it's not her guile
we might just have an inkling
that some one has been tinkering
locked her in a most uncompromising position
ever so slightly
we find her attention
directed and spread most impolitely
away from our direction
embracing some one else's expectation
and about her he really doesn't care
so it's our mission if we dare
to circumvent this trap he's set
determine when it's best to bet
to understand her ways
because we know on certain days
she is still to us most kind
if only her attentions we can find
free her from his trap for just a while
and upon us she just might smile.

luck & chance

to me it seems luck and chance
are married in an enticing dance
chances are this or that, a lead
luck embraces but will not heed
music plays for chance to follow
luck's music is true not hollow
chance leads on and has his way
as luck her music makes his day

secret card counter man

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to play tomorrow

Secret card counter man, secret card counter man
They've got your number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to play tomorrow

Secret card counter man, secret card counter man
They've got your number and taken away your name

------ lead guitar ------

Secret card counter man, secret card counter man
They've got your number and taken away your name

Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to play tomorrow

Secret card counter man, secret card counter man
They've got your number and taken away your name

Secret card counter man

the wongin out blues
-------------

adrenaline pumpin
my heart is thumpin
while i'm walkin
to the table
control these jitters if i'm able
now i see them just like before
dealers, dealing, i know the score
that's why i'm reluctant to take a seat
the reason for this high heart beat
pit boss's about and lurkin
is that a smile or are they smirkin
chips are flying
the players playing
eventually i have to sit
my mind is in a fit
all this AP stuff i know
where on earth did it go?
awkwardly, hands trembling a bit
wallet out, drop a benny my chips to get
now it's time to make a bet
cards come splaping down across the felt so green
now i've got some cards i've seen
highs and lows and in between
the hands i lose and win
thats not the point i think as my head does spin
come on dealer drop them babies, bring them out
make me laugh and want to shout
what's this just a trickle?
not enough to raise a nickle
out the tens, they come a marchin
for those babies my soul is left a parchin
i've made a dime
and in the pack are those babies, makes me think it is time
the dealer for me my bet to make does await
i'm not about to take the bait
my chips i push foward on the table saying i'm done for now
but i'll be back as a player raises his brow
maybe the next table will bring those babies home to me
those are the cards i'd love to see
nice and early hard and heavy all along
the dealer calls out my black chip and those two nickles strong
no longer trembling i walk away, i'm feelin plucky
just made a dime, all it was, i was lucky.

zero point zero one percent
unknown amongst the throng he went
a legend in the Casino Royal
so strange how for him cards and women fall
there is something about him one can't detect
a mysterious light hearted confidence, charming effect
for you and for i these cards just spell trouble
but zero point zero one takes a double
his bankroll is endless
his luck is stupendous
braggarts, drunks and pure fools
even you and i are just a few of his tools
the throng lay thier bets and hope for good fortune
zero point zero one weighs his options knows what is opportune
he knows he no magician
together they all wait in anticipacion

Dag, sage you can sho' bust the rhymes, dude.

Impressive. Wordy, but impressive.

Hope that'll all fit on one CD, might be a double album there.

Eye of the Panther
Creepin' up, backcounts the shoe
Takes his time, takes no chances
Playin’ Blackjack
He begins to pursue
He’s a man with the skills to survive

So many times, it happens so fast
Don’t waste time, get the money
Keeps a strong grip
On the dreams of the past
And he’ll fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

Face to face, stares down the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still they’re gonna get beat
He’s a cat with the skill for the kill

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now he’s not gonna stop
He’s a man with the will to prevail

It's the eye of the panther
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of his rival
And if there’s advantage he
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' them now through the eye
Of the panther

The eye of the panther

Just like your BJ table you made, another example of your fine creative talent MP. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers

Nice work daddybo, I loved it.

It's enough to give someone blackjack fever.

Blackjack Fever
Well I don't know where it came from
But I’m sure glad it came
And now it’s callin' for me
Now I know just how to do it
And I sure do it well
But I’m not doin' it for free

I got the Blackjack Fever
Blackjack Fever

Well the first time that I got it
I was just twenty-one
I got it from a book that I read
Well I went and saw the dealer
And he gave me the chips
I got the count in my head

It gives me Blackjack Fever
Blackjack Fever
I got the Blackjack Fever
Blackjack Fever

It can be dang’rous
It can cause pain
But I can’t ch-ch-change
You know you got it when
You can’t stay away
It makes a grown man cry, cry
It makes you act deranged

Well I made a double down
With the stroke of my hand
The dealer showed me her three
And I know just where to go
When I need to make a score
‘Cause I'm not doin' it for free

It gives me Blackjack Fever
Blackjack Fever
Go get it, Blackjack Fever

I got the Blackjack Fever
Blackjack Fever, yeah!

[daddybo]

Hey that's Good!

[MoneyPlays]

Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've stacked up offenses, for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
We don't know, what are your reasons?
These things that are pleasing you
Could hurt someone now

Did you twist the math of BJ, boy?
You can't win with a fable
You know the queen of hearts is always minus one

Now it seems to me some odd things
Were seen on your youtube table
And we haven't learned a thing when you're done

Desperado, oh you are getting annoying
I hope you're enjoying, the beatings you take
And winning, oh winning, well, that's just your ego talking
Your amateur squawking shows that you're just a fake

Do you think you're great when you feed us lines?
You side count eights and you side count nines
It's hard to tell the truth from all the junk
You say that Hi-Lo just can't win
Ain't it funny how your math has been, debunked?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Lets' stop the pretenses, close your debate
It may be painful, but now it's high time you quit it
You better wake up soon and get it
(wake up soon and get it)
You better wake up soon and get it
Before it's too late.
