yeah I'm not saying it to listen too as you play..i'm saying I'm stuck at work thinking of playing pool all day, and want something to listen too. any ideas along that line?
There is that Johnny Cash song that is pretty cool sounding......
"Dirty Pool" by Stevie Ray Vaughn, some clever lyrics within. Not sure if it was ever released as a studio track but he played at Montreux Jazz Festival in the early 80's. "Here's a little song I wrote myself". About 8 minutes of excellent blues. It's the infamous performance where he was booed loudy (but played his full set). Audience wasn't very bright.
Wow, never really realted the song to pool until you just mentioned. A lot of similarities. Thanks for putting that in my mind.crawfish said:

Pool Hall Richard by the Faces
featuring Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood is the best friggin pool song money can buy!!!
Sweatin' hard, I didn't get a shot
All I did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin' all the people walkin' on my side
Losin' all my money and I'm killin' time
Ol' Bill he come a-runnin' like he's gettin' some
Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun
I don't mind but he wants my lady too
You know the crowd gets bigger
As the word goes 'round
Pool Hall King was playin' back in town
Minnesota Fats standin' up at the back
Tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mack
You ought to hear the silence
When the kid walks in
His reputation's bigger than gasoline
I don't mind but he's tryin' to fill my lady too, ha ha
Pool Hall Richard
You're far too wicked we know, ha
Pool Hall Richard
Kid you're wicked, we know
You broke more hearts
Than a gigolo could ever do
With your yellow carnation
And your pink satin suit
You make me jealous, but I worship you
One day soon I'm gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Queueing up to see me take away your crown
Then you'll never never ever take my lady then
Get out

Dig this
Bam goes the brown, that's another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean
Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue
The Pool Hall King is hustlin' you
Bam goes the 8-ball, didn't see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah
Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean
Damn the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday
'Cause you're makin' me sick
Down on the black, at the back of the pack
Aw, you nearly missed, you ain't so hot
Pool Hall Richard
Kid you're wicked, we know
You broke more hearts
Than a gigolo could ever do
You're breakin' my heart
But you're stealin' my tart, no no no
Shut up

Rod Stewart also references pool in three other songs. Even in "Maggie May," he speaks about making a livin' outta playin' pool. He actually played pretty sporty in his youth. My uncle was a DJ in Asheville, and spent almost a week with Rod, Jeff Beck and Ron Wood. I had the chance to meet Stewart. Wild mutha back in the day (early 70's). I was about seven. He spent a lot of time gambling and playing when he was in his late teens and early twenties until he "made it." So he says. Just a little info.Njhustler1 said:
When I am gambling at the pool room I like to listen to Warewolves of London, while twirling my cue all around in a shirt with my name on the front, wearing my best platform pool shoes, as I wait for L. Ron Hubbard to return in the space ship.
Oh yeah, and "Sink the Pink" from AC/DC, forgot about that one. Not a lot of lyrics there (obligatory "rack 'em up" and whatnot) but I remember the video from ages ago had a lot of pool shots in it.
Of course, "Bad to the Bone" (featured in every G-rated dog-themed movie ever made) had George Thorogood shooting pool throughout its video, and sinking the eight of the basis of a cigar ash hitting the floor.
