Carl Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have a theory that the '80s pop song "Two of Hearts" is the biggest hit with a playing card in the title, and I'm wondering if there are other songs that use this card theme in the title. The only others in my instant recall are: "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead "Queen Of Hearts" by Gregg Allman Any other playing card title songs you can think of?

Shawna Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 are we talking about specific cards, or games that involve cards? Cuz it's games that involve cards, there's a great one called "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker" by O.A.R. Also: "Aces & 8s" ~ Uncle Kracker "Queen of Spades" ~ Styx "King of Diamonds" ~ Motopony "King of Spaces" ~ Dare "King of Hearts" ~ The Sleeping "King of Hearts" ~ Lucinda Williams "Ace of Spades" ~ Motorhead "Ace of Diamonds" ~ Jandek "Ace of Clubs" ~ Craig Herbertson "Ace of Hearts" ~ Chris Rea "Ace of Hearts" ~ Alan Jackson "Ace of Hearts" ~ Average White Band "Ace of Hearts" ~ Mark Wills "Queen of Hearts" ~ Jason Derulo "Queen of Clubs" ~ KC and the Sunshine Band (although this one is about a girl who hangs at clubs all night) "Jack of Hearts" ~ Sarah Darling (she's from my hometown!) "Jack of Diamonds" ~ Connie Dover "Jack of Diamonds" ~ Sonic Syndicate "Jack of Diamonds" ~ Waylon Jennings "Little Queen of Spades" ~ Eric Clapton okay... back to work with me...

blind-fitter Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Did AC/DC have a song that went "She's got the Jack"? Or am I imagining it? Of course, it might nothave been about a card-game, though I seem to think some of the lyrics were "My ace was high, her deuce was wild..." or somesuch. It was a long time ago.

Brad_M Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 You remember correctly, BF. The song, "The Jack" was first released on their 1975 Australian release album, T.N.T. and on their 1976 U.S. release album, High Voltage. The lyrics use cards as a euphemism to describe a venereal disease, "The Clap". Here are the lyrics to the studio version of the song. The lyrics change with different live versions that they have recorded. "The Jack" - AC/DC (Studio Version Lyrics) She gave me the Queen She gave me the King She was wheelin' and dealin' Just doin' her thing She was holdin' a pair But I had to try Her Deuce was wild But my Ace was high But how was I to know That she'd been dealt with before Said she'd never had a Full House But I should have known From the tattoo on her left leg And the garter on her right She'd have the card to bring me down If she played it right She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack She's got the jack Poker face was her name Poker face was her nature Poker straight was her game If she knew she could get you She played 'em fast And she played 'em hard She could close her eyes And feel every card But how was I to know That she'd been shuffled before Said she'd never had a Royal Flush But I should have known That all the cards were comin' From the bottom of the pack And if I'd known what she was dealin' out I'd have dealt it back She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, and who knows what else? She's got the jack, yeah, yeah She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack She's got the jack She's got the jack, she's got the jack, Ooh, It was a bad deal, (Jack) She gave me the (Jack), hey She's got the (Jack), she's got the (Jack) She's got the (Jack), ooh can't you tell She's got the (Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack) (She's got the jack, she's got the Jack) She's got the jack, she's got the Jack She's got the jack, you never know! She's got the jack, she's got the jack She's got the jack She's got the jack, and it hurts! (She's got the jack) She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack She's got the jack Aaaaaah! Oooooh! (Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks. Goodnight and God bless!)
