10 Songs About a Deck of Cards

Queen of Hearts – Dave Edmunds

Dave Edmunds biggest hit was the UK number one ‘I hear you knockin’ in 1970. This song was released nine years later and managed to reach a decent number 11 in the UK charts.

Solitaire – The Carpenters

In 1974, Andy Williams may have taken this song to number 4 in the UK charts but this Carpenters version didn’t do as well. Released in 1975 it only managed to reach number 32 in the UK charts.

Aces High – Iron Maiden

Taken from the album Powerslave, this Iron Maiden song managed to reach number 20 in the UK charts on release in 1984. It rocks!

From A Jack to a King – Ned Miller

Although this song has been covered by many different artists and bands over the years, this was the only one that was a hit in the UK. Released by Ned Miller in 1963 it peaked at number 2 in the UK charts.

Jack O’Diamonds – Lonnie Donegan

For those of you who don’t know, Lonnie Donegan can best be described as the king of skiffle. This song from 1957 managed to reach a peak of number 14 in the UK charts. Not bad considering!

Queen of Clubs – KC and the Sunshine Band

Not one of KC and the Sunshine Bands most famous songs but it was still quite a big hit back in the day. It managed to reach a rather impressive number 7 in the UK charts way back in 1974.

The Joker – Steve Miller Band

Steve Miller is only really known in the UK for two songs; this is one of them, the other is ‘Abracadabra’. Both had been released years before but not done that well. This song was used in a Levi Jeans advert in 1990 and on re-release stormed to the number one spot in the UK.

Kings and Queens – Killing Joke

Killing Joke were a bit of a joke – well to a lot of people they were. This song was released in 1985 but only managed to reach a peak of number 58 in the UK charts.

Poker Face – Lady Gaga

Taken from her debut album ‘The Fame’, this song became her second single. Just to confirm how big a hit this was, it reached the top spot in the charts of the US, the UK, Australia, Belgium, Holland, Ireland, Spain, Norway and France (to name but a few).

Ace Of Spades – Motorhead

Who could ever forget such a wonderful song as this? No one, that’s for sure. It was Motorhead’s biggest hit in the UK and on release in 1980 reached a peak of number 15 in the UK charts.
