I guess technically Juice Newton’s Queen of Hearts is poker-related

The Ace of Spades is a great song, but only tangentially about poker.

Well I mean there's Lady Gaga, which is very loosely about poker

The poker is a metaphor for bisexuality.

Some kind of scam where someone is double crossed during a poker game? I’ve heard a billion times and still can’t follow.

Love this song. Poker is happening, but it’s not the main action.

Some (many) may dispute this, but I really do have a soft spot for The Gambler

It's a classic that suffered from over exposure.

“Devil’s Right Hand.” Steve Earle. Sort of a parable about guns, and an all time great American song in my opinion. Last verse begins, “Got into a card game in a company town…” Which is how the whole song turns/climaxes.

Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash both cover it. Interesting sidebar is that while Earle has for decades been an outspoken leftist and pro gun control, he was apparently a huge gun enthusiast when he wrote the song, which is difficult to read as being anything but anti gun.

Not to go off about it but it’s one of my favorite songs and I think all that stuff is interesting as far as art meaning intentionality interpretation etcetera go.
