Thread Name: Songs about Poker
Subject: RE: Songs about Poker
The Queen of Spades features in Tchaikovsky's opera based on a Pushkin short story, which I hadn't thought about for years. So I googled "queen of spades" - and got some pretty surprising results.
The only card game I've ever played much is contract bridge (a long time ago). Dunno if there are songs about it, but there is a bar in Budapest which combines bridge and jazz - they run both bridge events and jazz gigs, with most of the decor being bridge-themed (photos of heroes of Hungarian bridge and the like).
