Roll the Bones, by RUSH (Live in Germany, 2004)
“We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
Roll the bones”
That Lucky Old Sun - Louie Armstrong
Steve Winwood - While You See A Chance
I like the Rush in Rio version.
“They say I shot a man named Gray
And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky”
“You’re a lucky little lady in the City tonight…….”
Warning: Some liberties will be taken with the concept:
People, by Bacharach and David, Sung by Barbara S. “...are the luckiest people in the world..”
Bad Luck, by Teddy Pendergrass
Luck of the Irish, “Sung” by Yoko Ono
3 Coins In A Fountain, by The Four Aces
Thanks for the backstory! I didn’t know any of that.
Darn, how could I forget Mr.Lucky?
There’s a sequel LP and a Latin version of the music of Mr.Lucky, too. Great show but the network took it off too soon.
Lucky Old Sun....
I took the Frankie Lane version but now doubt myself. Good choice.
“Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son
And me, I nearly got busted
And wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.”
Jerry Reed - When You’re Hot, You’re Hot
