    "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker" - The Wanderer, 1997
    My twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
    And the man to my left just folded down
    Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
    I had three jacks and a pair of nines
    My mind is turning just two shots more
    There's not much left to play
    Then dude walks in Black hat on top, what a mop
    I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of time
    Who's up for game two, what to do?
    My wallets getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
    I got a problem, just one answer got to throw it all down
    And kiss it goodbye
    That was a crazy game of poker
    I lost it all
    But someday I'll be back again
    And I'm never to fall
    Never to fall
    Who's up for game three?
    I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
    And I just lost it all
    Well there's a man sitting next to me
    Red with smiling eyes
    It's funny I don't have no money tonight.
    That was a crazy game of poker
    I lost it all
    But someday I'll be back again
    And I'm never to fall
    Never to fall
    Bada biba... ... ...
    I say now skitili dat dat dat well how bout that
    I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
    I walked into the bar yesterday
    Cause I had something to do, something to say
    And Johnny walked in right behind me and
    I didn't turn around
    Until I hear the sound of his feet falling
    On the ground, looked over my shoulder
    And I saw a clown
    And I said what are you doing in the bar tonight?
    And I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
    He looked at me with a face full of fright
    And I said how about a revolution?
    And he said , right.
    I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say Jah 2x
    And I said what are you looking at?
    He hit me across the face with a bat.
    I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
    Well so he opened the door, and said "now, whatcha here for?"
    I said I'm wanderin' down the road 44
    And I said I've been walking for about a thousand years
    And my feet are growing tired
    My eyes a little wired
    Don't know what to do unless I retire
    And he just said let's play some crazy poker
    And I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
    He looked at me with a face full of fright
    And I said how about a revolution?
    And he said right.
    I said that was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
    I said that was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
    But Im not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
    I don't give a shit cause I got the drop
    Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
    And I'm feeling kind of funky, kinda fine
    Cause I drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
    Came to the bar to see what's the same
    I saw my man named Johnny sitting across the table from
    And to my left was a man he had no gin
    He didn't even think about starting to sin
    The man to my right, wasn't feeling very nice
    He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
    Because I took his money last night
    Now I'm just struggling
    I need a honey bunny
    I don't know what to say anymore
    So Im just going to go out the front door.

    When I started college in 2002 and moved into the dorms, so many people were hyped on this song and playing it. You'd think it was on the radio, MTV, and VH1, but OAR never really got any mainstream exposure. The song still reminds me of that first year and all the good times my friends and I had.

    This is like the soundtrack to my college years. Sitting around at one in the morning, talking with your friends, not a care in the world. You're young, good looking, full of dreams. You'll never be old and uncool like your parents.

    It was Summer 2005. I was 14. The girl I liked was listening to this song on the beach with her friends. I lingered around until someone finally mentioned the name of the band. Then I walked over and said "oh man are you guys listening to OAR? I love them." She became my first real girlfriend a few weeks later. We'd make out for hours listening to this, Hey Girl, all the classics. Life was good.

Most will say “then why are you here?” And my answer is simple.. to try n remember how the song went to see if I’d still find it annoying and I do. That’s just me tho🤷🏼‍♂️.

    Of the dozens of versions of this song I've heard over the years, this studio version I like the least. Sorry to say, but the live versions are the best.

      I agree. I only got into O.A.R. about a dozen years ago and my first album was Rain or Shine. I heard many live versions before I ever heard this and it just doesn't sound right. It's true of a few of their old songs for me: King of the Thing, About Mr Brown, this etc. I love the live versions but the old studio ones sound odd to me.

      The Ran Or Shine version is my favorite.

    I just needed to tell someone that I just scared the bejewesus outta my best friend (we listen to this a lot) by pretending to sleep then shouting “N I SAID JOHNNY WHAT YOU DOIN TONIGHT” and then, after he calmed down I said, “you looked at me with a face full of fright” and he said “omfg you’re a wh0re” and I said “……no I’m a wh-O.A.R.”
    That is all.

    I wrote a screenplay of this song just to learn how to write in screenplay format.

    It's just silly. One player can't have a JJJ99, and the other a royal flush. IDT?

      Why not? JJ on J99QT when the other guy has AK would do the trick. And that's not considering other poker games besides hold 'em that use more cards.

      I agree, such a great song deserves better visuals that follow the story and match the energy.
