Life's a gamble, isn't it? You win some, you lose some.
But proper gambling – betting something of value on a certain outcome – can lead to ruin. Many musicians have addressed this in song, some drawing on bitter personal experience.
So. Feeling lucky, punk? Tell us about the best gambling songs you know by posting a comment below, and I'll gather the best of them in a blog here next Thursday.
The toolbox:
* Listen to others' suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist
* Guide to "donds", "zedded", and other strange words used by some of the RR regulars (courtesy of the Marconium)
* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are "zedded")
* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community)
Please do:
* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.
* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.
But please don't:
* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.
* Dump lists of nominations. If you must post more than two or three at once, please attempt to justify your choices.
