Oooh good luck on that one! About a year ago I was looking for music for my casino act - the only thing I could think of was 'The Ace of Spades', which didn't really fit ... I went for big band in the end - works really well I must say. Don't worry to much about getting a song with the right theme, just one to fit the mood

How about "Luck Be A Lady" from Guys and Dolls?? It's one of my favourite shows actually, I played one of the Hot Box Girls in it about 15 years ago - it's fab!!!!!

YouTube - Luck Be a Lady - Frank Sinatra


Marlon Brando sang it in the film but it's better by Sinatra!!!

Or if you prefer it without the words, the "Crapshooters Ballet"

what about Lady Luck by Brian Setzer orchestra?

House of the Rising Sun??

I thought Luck Be A Lady with the words might be abit too much....... but the orchestra one sounds like a swell idea!! I might just have to have a listen to that and see if it works.


And ill check Lady Luck and House of the Rising Sun out too!!!

I might go for something completely different though like Fleur Du Mal suggested.


Thank You :twothumbs:
