Ace of Spades by Motorhead
The song was released in 1980 and was the title track on the studio album of the same name. The British rockers belt out the hard-hitting lyrics which are all about gambling and taking risks. You may win or lose but the real pleasure is in the gambling itself. The only card you want or care about is the “Ace of Spades”. The song describes different poker hands and plays. It’s all about risking it all for the thrill of the game, and the tempo of the song fits the lyrics perfectly.
Easy Money by Billy Joel
Billy Joel sings from the gambler’s perspective. He is always looking for betting action whether it is on the race track or at the tables.
He evidently lost money as a teenager when he bet on horse racing. The song was a hit in the 1980s and was featured in a movie with the same name. This song resonates with those constantly pursuing the dream of easy money.
Poker Face – Lady Gaga
A poker face is a face that’s blank and hides your true feelings. The expression dates back to the 1800s and comes from the card game of poker. In the game, players bet money on their hands. It benefits players to keep the value of their hands a secret.
Lady Gaga’s Poker Face was released in 2008 as the debut single from her second studio album. The catchy song with its robotic hook is more about a poker face than the game of poker but it can really set the mood for playing a game of poker.
