So here's a song topic that I don't recall us having played - Songs about Games. What songs can you think of about games, mentioned or implied, of any sort in the title or lyrics?

So I'll start with this one as sort of a "blanket" title - - -

The Games People Play - Joe South

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Charade - Henry Mancini
