LB was very kind to let me host this LSWE game since I am one of his favorite Merry Men that's not in his closet. I'd like to wager that you'll really enjoy taking a chance on playing today's contest, which features songs that have some connection to the fine art of gambling. Whew, is it hot down here, or is it just me?

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....

1. I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.

2. This low down bitchin'
Got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know the deuce is still wild

3. Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

4. There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

5. Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won

6. 'Cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when I'm lost you'll be my guide
I just turn around and you're by my side

7. And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' so they put you on the street

8. Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun

9. Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher

10. I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes thing I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory
that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself blind to the
sound of old T-Rex

11. Well they blew up the Chicken man in Philly last night
Now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do

12. He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has at least some tenuous connection to gambling.

Image Bonus: I'm betting you can show me an image that somehow relates to the theme of this game.

Knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes

Heh. I'm looking through this entire game, thinking you couldn't possibly have left this song out of a game with this theme!

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

We got one with the rhythm method! Lizbit read the words out loud and got the rhythm nearly perfect on her very first try. We kept chanting the words over and over until a tune started to play in our heads, and more words started to come to us. That was fun!

9. Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher

I hate this photo and all the pictures like it. It reminds me of a really, really bad day.

1. I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.

Karma Chameleon - Boy George
2. This low down bitchin'
Got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know the deuce is still wild

3. Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

4. There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

5. Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won

6. 'Cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when I'm lost you'll be my guide
I just turn around and you're by my side

7. And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' so they put you on the street

8. Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun

9. Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher

Spoiler
Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
10. I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes thing I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory
that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself blind to the
sound of old T-Rex

11. Well they blew up the Chicken man in Philly last night
Now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do

12. He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes
