[MN Ham Phones]

I want to put together a large compilation for an upcoming poker and fishing vacation with the guys. I'd like some suggestion on music with appropriate poker/card playing/henpecked husband themes and lyrics.

Got any suggestions?

This is what I have so far.

Them from the “sting”
Ray Charles, “busted”
That Jody Foster/James garner western
Mama told me not to come, 3 Dog night
Everything’s going to be alright, Glen Miller
Pete Fountain-pick any song
Jackson Browne,All Good ThingsGotta' come to an end
Eagles, twenty-one
Deana Carter, Did i shave my legs for this?
Vogue, Bad luck blues
Barry Manilow, Daybreak
Beatles, I’m so tiredWhite Albulm
Bonnie Raitt, Luck Of The Draw
Cat Stevens, Morning has broken
Chicago, Does anybody really know what time it is?
Jeff Healey Band, Hell to pay
Scott Joplin, The entertainer
Who, Won’t get fooled again
Mary-Chapin Carpenter, House of cards
Suzy Bogguss, Aces
Mary-Chapin Carpenter, I Feel Lucky

i immediately thought of "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead.

EDIT: ok fine... "The Winner Takes it All" by ABBA was second...

i saw a cd in walmart a couple days ago that was called Music To Play Poker To, it was in the various artist section if your interested.

Keep it mellow and deep sounding. Pink Floyd is my favorite. I also like to play music that I like and that no one else likes, that way when people suddenly stop complaining about the music you will know they have a good hand

 

[jefemeister]

The Band!

 

[rhythmdevils]

anything by the Rolling Stones. or Creedence.

Something that makes you feel like it is happening, but also somewhat simple and grooving so you can focus on the game and just feel good

 

[Jacob McCraw]

Lots and lots of blues:

Albert Collins - Too Tired
Derek and the Dominos - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
Luther Allison - All the Kings Horses

Play some Skynyrd man! And some Creedence!

Tom Waits - "Better Off Without a Wife"

Quote:

I like sleeping 'till the crack of noon, Midnight, howling at the moon. Going out when I want to, Coming home when I please. Don't have to ask permission If I want to go out fishin', I never have to ask for the keys.

OAR - crazy game of poker

 

[chronoso]

we were playing a few hands the other day and i left Coltrane's A Love Supreme on in the background. couple a drinks, smooth jazz, and a fresh deck of cards makes for a good night. oh, Mingus Ah Um would probably also be great. so would a lot of Zappa.

[CRESCENDOPOWER]

I prefer Queen's "Greatest Hits", and "Classic Queen" when playing cards. But, no matter what is playing I want your money!

 

[viator122]

Pink Floyd - Money
