Does anyone know of any songs that mention blackjack? The only one I could think of is Ian Tyson's "Summer Wages", the first lines of which are "Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer/You know that the odds won't ride with you" (of course, Tyson should've referred to a hard 17, but then the line wouldn've scanned right).

Any others?

not really a song, but i made up a little rap in physics class one day

let me know what you guys think of it

I walk in the door
security can't ignore
checkin my photo id
even though he knows it's me

I run to the tables, dodgin geasers with walkers
guards talkin urgent on their walkie-talkers
they warnin the pit
it's him, oh sh*t

I find the 6 deck
what the heck
countin every card
it really ain't hard

I hear a slot machine ringin
the winner's singin
the machine's still dingin
it's the local crackpot
finally hit the jackpot

I'm playin with the odds
not prayin to random gods
I don't need the extra luck
don't give a f*ck

I'm sittin 3rd base
gettin a taste
layin the casino to waste

I'm not a ploppy
I double my softie
dealer looks at me funny
as I double my money

Who's laughin now
pit boss's havin a cow
he don't know how

They watchin me
how can it be
watchin with the eye
the one in the sky
it's up so high
they paid so much to buy

Now i'm playin high stakes
increasin my take
makin no mistakes
easily beatin the rake

I'm makin doe
call me a hoe
goin to the cage
just to get paid

I see benjamin's face
in a familiar place
I ain't no disgrace
winnin at a record pace.

Two faves:

Ray Charles, "Blackjack":

I sat there with two tens
I thought I'd have some fun
The dealer hit sixteen with a five
Just enough to make twenty one

Hey hey hey yeah yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get
Yeah, blackjack takes it away from me

(Obviously not from an AP perspective!)

And a song I like to listen to as the train is pulling into AC:
Morphine, "Have a Lucky Day":

I feel lucky I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
Now I'm sitting at a blackjack table and I swear to God my dealer has a tag says Mabel
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to
the table
Players win and winners play have a lucky day (x2)
Mabel gives me a great big smile she's getting to know me she's on my =
side
I'm a winner (x4)

not a song..

but I heard a blackjack reference on talk radio the other day...

Randi Rhodes on Air America made a comment along the lines that George Bush is stupid enough to double down on a 17.

Wilco - Casino Queen

Well the money's pouring down and the people all look down,
And it's floating out of town
I hit the second deck and I spend my paycheck,
And my wife that I just met, she's looking like a wreck

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

I always bet on black, blackjack,
I'll pay you back
The room fills with smoke and I'm already broke,
And the dealer keeps on joking as he takes my last token

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

you had a bad day

here's one for one of those days when you do everything right and everything goes wrong..............


You Had a Bad Day
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

It’s not a blackjack song, but every time I hear this song I think about my first counting trip to Vegas. I had just learned BS and counting and thought I was ready to make a score. I had only played in a casino once before for about 1 hour so I had no real-world experience. I brought $500 and lost it all in one weekend. That was the day I tried to live.


The Day I Tried To Live
by Soundgarden

I woke the same as any other day except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

:)

Cheesy video though.

-Sonny-

Lucky too, Bob Neuwirth

It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town
Theresa hit a streak and laid her waitress' apron down
She was playin' penny poker over at the ol' Gold Spike
She was tired of Texas Hold'em, so she switched to "Let It Ride"
Over on Fremont Street, six bits won her a car
She rode it up the Strip to where the flashy hotels are
First she hit a royal -- not a dirty one this time
Then she drew four deuces -- and then five wilds
Then Hundred dollar "Homerun" -- three coin "Red, White and Blue"
Then "Double Jackpots" -- "Double Diamonds" -- (both progressives, too)
Six buck "Black and Gold", six times in a row
"Blazing Sevens" seven times, so the story goes
She even hit "Big Bertha" -- five grand for just one coin
She placed it on a parlay -- she took the Cowboys and the points
She had the 'Niners and the "over" -- the "under" and the Jets
She took the whole college schedule and she won every bet
She picked the six in Powerball and she called the Super Bowl
She had the Triple Crown - win, place, and show
At baccarat and blackjack, she could not seem to lose
At French roulette she pressed her bet, four times on 32
She held the dice forever -- at least it seemed that way
She won a million dollars and then she walked away

It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town
Theresa hit a streak and laid her waitress' apron down

In her room after New Years at the Thunderbird Hotel
On the back of a winning keno card they found this living will
My friends get all my money -- may they always have enough
To my enemies I leave my luck -- maybe not quite so tough
The dealers get my "bones" -- may they keep 'em on a roll
The Devil's had my body, now may the Good Lord take my soul
So do not try to find me, for I will not be found
I'm gonna keep this stake alive -- I'm headed out of town

It was Christmas time in Vegas, when the locals take the town
Theresa hit that streak, and laid her waitress' apron down


Found no video, but you can listen the song (Dead link: http://radio.goombah.com/tracks/37448,108307,96042,882723,882731,90808,451640,10566,974630,368969,161780,10392,93571,72313,195892) _here_

Best Casino song right there!

Higher Insurance? Lyrics

*** Complimentary Insurance? Ringtone ***
Let's keep the fire tame but we'll keep our hands hot

I cannot get that ace so let me see a face card drop

We can play the field, if it feels right

Or we can spin the wheel and roll the dice for midnight

All that matters to me girl, win or lose

Is an x-rated complete swirl of me and you

So if you want to see the show, just come with me baby

I will show you how I roll



Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances

Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?



And we're gonna risk it all for the weekend

Cause I've been needing this time off and everybody's drinking

You get excited, you can't hide it when you hit the floor

The after party won't get started till bout three or four

So when you see me from across the room, girl you know what to do

Can you get me in the mood?

[Insurance? lyrics on (Dead link: http://www.metrolyrics.com])



Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances

Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?

Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances

Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?



I'll make you want this

And make you want it more

You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in

To make me want it more

You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in



Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances

Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?

Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances

Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it

Rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it

Rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it

Sorry alex, I dont mean to correct ya, but for the longest time I thought he was saying Blackjack also, until I looked up the lyrics a couple months ago. Great song though.Fits the game perfectly:)

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
(I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.)
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

The Streets - Stay Positive

"This is you zone, it's like blackjack
He might get the ace or the top one
So organise your two's and three's into a run then you'll have f ucked him son
And for that you'll be the better one
One last thing before you go though
When you feel better tommorow you'll be a hero
But never forget today. you could be back here
Things can stray"

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/streets/staypositive.html

I know a few others, but i can't remember them now. Will post when i do.
