Default Music Help for a casino/poker themed act!!

I would like to find the pefect song that has lyrics related to a casino, poker, cards, gambling....anything along these lines would fit!!!

Ive found

Whitesnake - Sweet Lady Luck.....which is a little too fast!

and

Madonna - Gambler... which is 80s cheese and isnt what im looking for!

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"

YouTube - Crapshooting Choreography Staged For "Guys and Dolls"

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:

Have you listened to:


"Viva Las Vegas" - Elvis Presley

or

"Poker" - Electric Light Orchestra

or

"Blackjack" - Ray Charles (this one is super bluesy and sultry)

Hope this helps!
